Molly Brown

Molly Brown refers to Margaret Brown (1867–1932), an American socialite and philanthropist who survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.

She became known as "the Unsinkable Molly Brown" for her efforts helping other survivors and her forceful personality during the disaster.

The nickname was popularized by a 1960 Broadway musical and subsequent film: She has the determination of Molly Brown.
