That is cool. I read too that one of the richest persons to die on the ship was an heir to Downton Abbey. I thought that was awesome seeing as I friggin love that show.

Sure was. Just looked up the cast list. They do have the character you mentioned as Astor. Whether they mentioned him by name or not, that's who he was intended to be.
They did. Rose gives Jack a brief rundown of him and his mistress before she introduced him. "Quite the scandal"

Meh.
Aside from the love story, the most recent one was very visually impressive.

I think it was fairly accurate. James Cameron is a perfectionist. He wanted every thing the way it was, I saw an interview with him just a year or so ago about it.
At the time, the data was as accurate as it could be. The only think I thing that changed were the color of the flares, there was a crate of different colored flares found in the wreckage.
The other thing was how high the stern rose after the bow sank. Doesn't look like it would've gone as high as it did in the movie.
The rest seems pretty accurate.
Makes me sad honestly, seeing the stuff they found on the bottom of the ocean. Shoes, ceramic dolls, eye glasses, etc.

Molly Brown, played by Kathy Bates, was the inspiration for musical and movie, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." From Wiki:

Molly Brown
Margaret Brown (right) giving Captain Arthur Henry Rostron an award for his service in the rescue of Titanic's surviving passengers
Aboard the Titanic
Margaret was conveyed to the passenger liner RMS Titanic as a first class passenger aboard the tender SS Nomadic at Cherbourg, France. The Titanic sank early on April 15, 1912 at around 2:20 am after striking an iceberg at around 11:40. Margaret helped others board the lifeboats, but was finally convinced to leave the ship in Lifeboat No. 6.[1] She would later be regarded as a heroine for her efforts to get Lifeboat 6 to go back to search for survivors.[1] Molly Brown was later called "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" by authors because she helped in the ship's evacuation, taking an oar herself in her lifeboat and protesting for the lifeboat to go back to try to save more people.
Her urgings were met with opposition from Quartermaster Robert Hichens, the crewman in charge of Lifeboat 6, who was fearful that if they did go back, the lifeboat would either be pulled down due to suction, or the people in the water would swamp the boat in an effort to get inside.[1] Sources vary as to whether the boat did go back and if they found anyone alive when they did. The 1997 movie Titanic depicted a claim that one life boat returned and six people were saved from the water, but did not depict that Margaret Brown was the impetus for the return

Seriously? If so, I always love it when big name actors get bit parts just because they want to be in the movie. (Sandler being a big name can be debated, but you get my point.)
I found out on here Dan Aykroyd was the guy that set Indy, Willie, and Short Round up with the plane when they escaped Shanghai in Temple of Doom. Have seen that a million times and never noticed.
As for Cameron, he definitely has a passion for Titanic. It wouldn't surprise me if the details of this were as factually accurate as they could be. I remember watching a segment about when the stern section went down, the suction force of the water drowned many people. This was fairly accurately depicted in the movie.

The above photo has been debunked. It wasn't a question of room, it was a question of balance and weight. When Jack tried to get on with Rose, the piece of wood started to tip over and sink.

She could have schooted her fat arse all the way to the once side and had him climb onto the other.
