„She used to sit at this bar every night wearing every piece of jewelry she owned just waiting for her long lost love. See, her clothes are all moth-eaten“. Madame Bijou. The inspiration for her drawing by Jack (in reality drawn by James Cameron) came from a photography taken by Brassai called „Madame Bijou at Bar de la lune, Paris 1933. So yes, Madame Bijou was real. Jack in his timeline in Monmatre, Paris does not line up well with this considering she looks the same age in his drawings than in the photos taken in 1933 but she was the inspiration. (yes there is more than one drawing of her). The second drawing is shown in the limited edition of James Cameron‘s „exploring the deep“. I am sharing it here with you all. The story of the real Madame Bijou was pointed out to me by grrrlinacoma 💙 #titanic #titanic1997 #titanicmovie #titanicdrawings #jackdawson #rosedewittbukater #jackandrose #jamescameronstitanic #madamebijou #shipofdreams #paris #titanicfilm #katewinslet #rosedewittbukater
