“Kate was a phenomenal collaborator and just so gung-ho,” Cameron said at the premiere, according to Vulture. “She was really excited about doing the water work and at her peak, I think she held her breath for seven and a half minutes — not during a scene but just during the training.”

“She was a dream to work with — not the pain-in-the-a-- diva that she was the first time,” Cameron joked. “No, she was a dream on ‘Titanic’ as well.”
