Biography[]
They were seen at the start of the film when Jack is looking for his and Fabrizio's stateroom. They cross past with their mother saying "To the left, darlings".
During the sinking, when all the third class passengers were locked up, the young boy asked his mother what they were doing, to which the mother comments to him that they were allowing the first class passengers to go first then they could go through. The pair were then told to be ready for when they do, to which the children acquiesced.
Later they went back to their stateroom and their mother told them a story, sending them to sleep, shortly before they died. The cause of their deaths and their mother’s is unknown, either drowning (most likely) or being killed by water pressure due to the stern’s implosion.
Trivia[]
- Their story was based on the Rice family which consisted of Margaret Rice and her 5 sons. However, the film depicts the mother (Margaret Rice) with a son and a daughter instead.
