Our guest is Jamie Melissa Wilms, Director of Education at the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, Colorado.

The Molly Brown House Museum begins its hour-long Victorian Halloween every 15 minutes, drawing visitors back to that time. In her later years, Margaret Brown continued to travel, and escaped disaster a second time when the hotel she was staying at in Palm Beach, Florida, caught on fire.

Debbie Reynolds was nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of Molly Brown in the film version of The Unsinkable Molly Brown. It's a focused look at Brown and her ascension from modest beginnings before her mining husband struck it big in Leadville in the 1890s and then moved into the turn-of-the-century mansion.

Focusing specifically on the influence of Hollywood films, I focused on The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Titanic, which both utilize her story. The Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, CO, enables visitors to see the beauty of this elegant home. The Molly Brown Unsinkable Molly Brown House House Museum is located at 1340 Pennsylvania Street in Denver's Capitol Hill district.

In 1938 the journalist Gene Fowler wrote an extraordinarily fantastical account of her life in his column Timber Line In his tale Maggie runs away from home as an illiterate 15 year old and married a 37 year old Leadville Johnny” three weeks after arriving in the mining camp”.

Brown worked to improve Leadville's schools and helped the mining families in the community in any way she could. If you have never heard of Molly Brown, you may know her better as The Unsinkable Molly Brown or even her birth name, Margaret Tobin Brown. A trained tour guide leads each group throughout the house, stopping at each room to point out important or interesting facts and share more information about Margaret's life.

But the Molly Brown House, the fashionable home of one of the sunken ship's most famous survivors, isn't new. Brown was played by Kathy Bates in James Cameron's "Titanic." In this scene, she tries to get the other women in her lifeboat to go back and rescue people from the water.
