Madeleine Astor (née Talmage Force, June 19, 1893 – March 27, 1940), boarded the RMS Titanic as a first class passenger with her husband John Jacob Astor who was said to be the richest man on the ship. She was 18 at the time, but the marriage was as much for love as the social scandal.
Biography[]
In the First-class dinner scene, she was introduced to Jack Dawson. She politely greeted him and took a seat next to her husband. Rose DeWitt Bukater told Jack somewhat snobbishly that Madeleine was as old as she was and "in delicate a condition", meaning she was pregnant; and trying to hide it. Rose then called it "quite the scandal". Madeleine would give birth to John Jacob Astor VI, J.J. Astor V was already the son of J.J. IV's William Waldorf Astor, on August 14, 1912.
Madeleine Astor wasn't seen after the Titanic hit the iceberg, but there is one deleted scene, in which she appears sitting on a mechanical horse in the gym, along with her husband. In real life she is brought to lifeboat 4 and survives.
Behind the scenes[]
- In the 01:31 minutes of the deleted scene when Lifeboat 6 won't return, Madeleine appears sitting on a mechanical horse next to JJ Astor who is showing the contents inside a lifebelt.
- Madeleine only had one line of dialogue throughout the entire film.
