Alexandrea Owens

Alexandrea Owens-Sarno (born November 9, 1988) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as eight-year-old Cora Cartmell, a young steerage passenger in the 1997 film Titanic who dances with Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) at an Irish party.

Owens-Sarno made her acting debut as Cora Cartmell in James Cameron's 1997 epic, Titanic. Her mother took her and her younger sister Rachel, then 3, to audition for roles at the film's set in Rosarito Beach, Baja California. Owens-Sarno, then in third grade, lined up with ten other girls, all blonde, said a few lines and danced a few steps with the casting director, and was dismissed. A week later she was offered the role of Cora; her mother and sister were cast as extras. He also romped around and played tickling games with her younger sister. However, she has dutifully kept up with fan mail over the years and sends out autographed pictures of herself in her Titanic role. After college she moved to Los Angeles and enrolled in acting classes. She presently works in improv and sketch comedy.
