Margaret "Molly" Brown (née Tobin) (b.7/18/1867-d.10/26/1932) was a first class passenger aboard the RMS Titanic on Ticket 17610 at a price of £27 14s 5d, boarding at Cherbourg. She survived the disaster in Lifeboat 6. When the leader of Lifeboat 6, Robert Hichens, didn't want to turn around and help survivors in the water, she eventually took control of the boat to try and save some of the survivors. The press called her the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown.
Portrayals
She was portrayed by Kathy Bates in James Cameron's Titanic. In that movie, Brown is portrayed as scared for the authority of Hichens, and when she wanted to go back, Hichens threatened to throw her overboard. This is a major error, it was the other way.
The 1996 TV Miniseries gave a more accurate portrayal of Brown's behavior. She said to Hichens in episode 2: "One more word and I'll throw you overboard. Come on, girls!"
