Jack and Rose

Jack and Rose are the central characters of the 1997 film *Titanic*—he a penniless artist, she an upper-class passenger trapped in an unhappy engagement.

Their doomed romance aboard the sinking ship became a cultural touchstone.

The names together evoke tragic love cut short: They thought they'd be Jack and Rose, but it didn't last the summer.
