The Young And The Restless' Eric Braeden Recalls A Titanic Moment From His Career

Publish date: 2024-05-06

"The Young and the Restless" fan favorite Eric Braeden posted a memory about his time making "Titanic" on Twitter, sharing, "I remember when JAMES CAMERON showed my family and me the first few minutes of 'Titanic' in his trailer on the set!!" The soap star continued, "I turned to him and said, 'You'll make a fortune!' That's when I first had heard her voice and it [gave] me goosebumps!" Braeden was, of course, referring to superstar singer Celine Dion who performed the film's iconic song "My Heart Will Go On," which we almost never heard, because some people involved didn't think it would fit with the movie's atmosphere.

When fans responded by asking why Braeden didn't have more screen time in the movie, he explained, "Well, sadly I couldn't be in a few scenes because I had to be back on [the] set of Y&R! It was the deal they made with BILL BELL ['Y&R' executive producer]!" The actor also complimented Cameron by describing him as, "a GENIUS!" 

Similarly, he also tweeted his love of Dion too, posting, "Listening to CELINE DION! Just love that woman's voice!!" Dion is currently dealing with the neurological disease, Stiff-Person Syndrome, and when a fan hoped that the living legend got well soon, Braeden lovingly replied, "Yes, so do MILLIONS! In my thoughts I'll put a white light around her!!"
