Linda Hmilton's (I'll ignore the fact that she can't act) strength and resourcefulness CAME from Reese. She starts off by telling him she can't even balance her chekbook. It's only over time that she learns to make a field dressing and shoot a gun and, later, defeat the Terminator.Winslett's Rose swims from her "raft" to get a whistle, blows it to be rescued, hides from Cal and his nenchman on the Calpurnia, has a successful life as an aviator, actrsss, etc., and is plucky enough to keep the diamond necklace for 84 years.

"plucky enough to keep the diamond necklace for 84 years"Sure. Then she chucks it overboard, later to be "discovered" by some greedy treasure hunter who buys himself the most expensive BAT gear, when she could have instead appeared on Antiques Roadshow, been quoted a seven figure value, drummed up some publicity, sold it at auction for seven figures with a smiling Keno brother (there are three, after all), then helped her poor granddaughter through cancer treatments. Those British think they are soooooooooo superior.
not only coul she have funded any great charity of her choice she could have saved the folks trying to find the damn thing from a lot of trouble and expense. I hate Titanic
If you hate Titnaic as it was released, you really should see the "original ending" Cameron filmed. Old Rose's behavior in that regarding the disposition of the diamond will really get your blood boiling. It was truly an offensive and abysmal ending which would have cost the movie $100's of millions at the box office.
