6Mrs. Molly

Do you remember Mrs. Molly in the movie? Actually, she was never called as Molly but was a name given to her in the movie. She was originally Mrs. Margaret Brown who was travelling in Titanic from Europe to New York to meet her sick grandson and hardly people knew that she was out there in that ship due to her quick decision of meeting her grandchild. Mrs. Margaret survived because she was put up in a boat while the ship crashed. Later she became the chairman of the survivor committee and did all she could do to raise up funds for the needy people. She died at the age of 65 due to a brain tumour.
