Reply to comment by ThrowDirtonMe in TIL that Titanic crewman Herbert Pitman made an attempt to row his lifeboat over to rescue people in the water, but was overruled by the other occupants of the boat, who were worried about people swarming them and duly complied. Pitman said that this haunted him throughout his life. by ChadExtra

She was 44.

In the movie? I don’t recall her saying that. I guess I could’ve said older or middle-aged or something.

Either of those would be much better, thanks.

Molly Brown was 44 in real life. Kathy Bates, who played her in the movie, was 49 when the movie was released (so probably 48 during filming).
