No, they are made up. Yes, the Titanic really hit an iceberg and went down, but no Jack and Rose. The old lady at the end wasn't one of the real survivors either.
The male lead character in Titanic, Jack Dawson, was NOT an actual person, and Cameron creates the scenario of him (and his friend Fabrizio) winning their tickets in a lucky hand of poker, to explain away the fact that neither of their names appear on the passenger list, quite imaginative! Character: Rose DeWitt Bukater. Played By: Kate Winslet. Fact/Fiction: Fiction! Titanic's female lead character, Rose Dewitt Bukater, is again NOT an actual person, however, Rose, together with the rest of the Hockley entourage, are representative of a typicaly wealthy family of the era.
