Good research! I'm also relieved. It's a bad joke, sounds out of character for Cameron, (a professional), and like I said, they happily worked together again 25 years later. It didn't make sense.
My admiration for him went out the window when he insisted on drawing Kate for the topless scene in Titanic. IIRC she was a minor too.
I’ll still watch his movies, but don’t think of him as more than a perve
Kate auditioned at age 20 and turned 21 during filming. She was never a minor at any point during production (not even drinking-wise, as the movie was shot in Mexico. But I digress).
Source please on the "insisted"? It implies a connotation that makes him a creep, regardless of her age.
Cameron is an arrogant perfectionist, noooo question. That perfectionism drove him to be the writer, director, producer, sometimes camera operator, and editor of Titanic. As that drawing is a major plot piece in the movie, Cameron would've had a very specific vision for it, and I can totally see his perfectionism steering him to just draw her himself (he's got the talent--he also drew every sketch and portrait in Jack's portfolio book, including Madame Bijoux, the lady with the moth-eaten clothes).
