—Third Class Woman with Baby to Captain Smith |
Third Class Woman with Baby, was a Third Class passenger on Titanic. She was travelling with her baby and an unseen husband. She was most likely from France, since she spoke with a French accent and pronounced "Captain" as "Capitaine". She was portrayed by Ellen O'Brien. She may have been based on Third Class passenger Frances Marie Lefebvre, and her child may have been Ida Lefebvre.
She first appears when Rose, Jack, Fabrizio and Tommy try to find way to the Boat Deck. Perhaps she was confused about finding her way to the upper deck and was just waiting while the boats were being launched. It's possible she and her husband were separated in the crowd.
She finally made it to the Boat Deck around 2:05 A.M., but the boats were gone, only 2 Collapsible Lifeboat remained. She was seen waiting for the overturned Collapsible B along with some other Third Class women and Colonel Archibald Gracie.
She approached Captain Smith and asked "Capitaine, where should I go?, please". The captain, dazed and overwrought, did not answer her. Not being answered by Captain Smith, she retreated back towards Collapsible B.
In the extended Carpathia deleted scene sequence, it is proven that she survived the sinking, but her baby is not seen.
