One of Titanic's most memorable characters is Molly Brown, played by Kathy Bates, but this character was almost played by a very different actress. https://screenrant.com/titanic-movie-molly-brown-reba-mcentire-almost-cast/

Better known to history as “the unsinkable Molly Brown,” Margaret Tobin Brown is arguably one of the most famous survivors of the RMS Titanic. On that fateful voyage, she helped others into lifeboats before boarding Lifeboat No. 6 herself, then encouraged fellow passengers on it to search for...

Holding the loving cup presented by survivors to Captain Rostron

Only 500 were produced in 1912. One was presented to Captain Arthur H Rostron. Once of the scarcest coins in the world. I am 60 years old and have only seen two in my lifetime. I produced 100 replicas and am offerring them to friends and collectors. If interested here is the link...

Hi y'all In my copy of "Titanic: An Illustrated History," it was said that Molly became more eccentric. In what ways was she becoming increasingly eccentric? Later in life her husband (second husband?) died, and her kids were at odds with her about his money. Who got the money, and what...

First of all, Hi from Argentina, and forgive English language messes and mixing American & British English. I saw both movies A Night To Remember and Titanic (1997), and it seems to be that Fleet indeed supported Hichens' position on refusing to go back and never defended e.g. Margaret Brown...

I've just watched the 1996 TV mini-series Titanic and in it, the character of Hazel Foley (Eva Marie Saint) points out Molly Brown (played by Marilu Henner in this film) to Isabella Paradine (Catherine Zeta-Jones) when the Titanic is docked at Southampton and she says this quote about her...

At the beginning of the 1964 film The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Molly Brown is seen surviving a flood in Colorado when she was six months old. Her cradle is seen floating down a rushing river and once it sinks, she walks on shore slowly and apparently unfazed, and she is eventually adopted by a...

Tammy Grimes originally played Molly Brown in the 1960 Broadway musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown, but when the film adaptation was released in 1964, she was replaced by Debbie Reynolds. Did Tammy Grimes not want to star in the film, or did the film studio want someone else to play Molly? The...

In most Titanic films, such as A Night to Remember and the 1996 TV mini-series, Molly Brown threatens to throw Quartermaster Hichens overboard after he threatened her with the same and takes command of the lifeboat. However, in James Cameron's 1997 film, after she tries to persuade Hichens to...

There is a short Titanic sequence in the 1964 Debbie Reynolds musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown. I saw it at a rerun in 1967 and that was what started my interest in the Titanic saga.

Molly Brown became world famous for his acts of courage in the midst of a tragedy! Molly survived the sinking of the Titanic in saving dinghy was lowered that number 6 with 0:55 larboard 28 people, Molly was practically in "command" of the boat after the Titanic sank, Molly asked the boat back...

Who in your opinion is the best looking Margaret Brown?

When Molly Brown (excuse me, Margaret) boards at Cherbourg, she's carrying two Louis Vuitton suitcases and a train case. On this train case is a sticker. What sticker is that? It doesn't look like a White Star Line label that I can see on the internet.

During the film there is a woman holding a baby in a blanket, she doesn't speak but can be clearly seen boarding the boat, and in various clips, especially the final plunge. Could this woman be a subtle nod the Alice Cleaver and baby Trevor? I know they didn't escape in the same boat, but just a...

This has got to be the only Titanic film that accurately shows Margaret Brown in bed in her cabin at the time of the collision instead of that awful clichéd stereotype of having her gamble the night away in the smoking room; cursing and smoking like a drunken sailor. ....This film has so...

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but does anyone know why the Molly Brown character was renamed Maude Young when other historical figures such as Smith, Lightoller, The Astors and The Strauss' kept their names? I still love the "Pay a thousand dollars to ride on the greatest ship...

A friend who has been to the USA has just presented me with a copy of a special edition of Colorado Prospector, devoted to Margaret Brown. This is in the form of a small newspaper consisting of articles from old papers, many of them quite minor. It's published by the Colorado Historical...
