Rose DeWitt Bukater was 17 years old when the Titanic sank in 1912, a fact confirmed in the movie when she tells Jack. She didn't die on the ship; instead, she survived to live a long life, telling her story as an elderly woman, with her final "death" in the film being a symbolic joining of Jack in the afterlife, long after the ship's sinking.
It is not known where and when the two met, but eventually became engaged and planned to be wed in the United States (their reason for boarding the RMS Titanic), despite their rather large age difference (Cal was 30 and Rose was 17 when they boarded the Titanic.)

Millvina Dean When the Titanic was making its voyage to New York, Millvina Dean was only two months old. This made her the youngest passenger on the ship. She and her family were third-class passengers and were on the Titanic because they were moving to the US.
Matthew McConaughey was in contention for the role of Jack Dawson in James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster Titanic, but the role ended up going to Leonardo DiCaprio after he refused to acquiesce to the director's demands.
However, during the voyage she and third-class passenger Jack Dawson fell in love. The voyage came to an abrupt end when the ship struck ice and sank. Rose survived the ship's sinking, but Jack did not. Rose later married a man named Calvert, and had at least three children.
The wreck of the Titanic wasn't discovered until 1985, and in the years since, no trace of human remains has been found on or near it, most likely due to the sea's inhospitality to flesh and bones.

Cora befriends Jack Dawson during the voyage (even calling him 'Uncle Jack' in a deleted scene) and later danced with him at a typical Third Class party. When Jack told her he was going to dance with Rose, Cora looked jealous, so Jack told her that she was "still his best girl", which made her smile.
The Titanic's final wireless messages, sent by operator Jack Phillips as the ship sank around 2:17 AM on April 15, 1912, became increasingly desperate, including "CQD CQD SOS" and fragmented pleas like "Come quick, old man, engine room filling up to boilers," and "We are all going down," before the signals ceased abruptly as the ship's power failed and water flooded the wireless room. The last understandable transmission was to the SS Virginian, with the final signals cutting off as the ship submerged.

Rose was very pessimistic about her future before meeting Jack, due to the first-class life she was being pulled into by Cal and Ruth. She had convinced herself that committing suicide by jumping off of the ship was the only way to escape from her torturous first- class life with a man she did not like.
To him, she was throwing away a perfect future over some fleeting emotions. Cal needed Rose to behave because she represented him and his future. If she acted improperly, it reflected badly on him. His harsh behavior wasn't just personal — it was about preserving his own social standing.
Nearly everyone except Jack, Rose, and Rose's family are real people. Jack and rose are fictional because the story is basically Romeo & Juliet on a ship. So creative liberties had to be taken.
