Is it possible that what you know about Molly Brown is incorrect and incomplete?
Susan Bugbee, Molly Brown House Docent, will share facts vs fiction of Molly Brown, aka Margaret Tobin Brown.
Thirty years after her death, Hollywood made her famous as The Unsinkable Molly Brown. However, their portrayal of her was mostly fiction including the fact that she was never called Molly. Actually, her life was much more impressive.
Susan (as Molly Brown) will share her life, her family, her travels and her philanthropy. She was very involved in improving Denver and was constantly in the news. She was definitely a woman ahead of her time.
