There are several errors relating to
Margaret Brown. She actually boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg, not Southampton. She was not known as "Molly" until after her death, and in contrast to her portrayal as a raving, oversexed hillbilly, she was in fact an intelligent, well-mannered, social and political activist. She was also much older and less attractive than actress
Marilu Henner. Furthermore, she is seen drinking and gambling in the smoking room. In reality, the smoking room was a male-only domain and Brown would not have been there.
