The sequence where J.J. Brown accidentally burns his money after Molly has hidden it in the stove didn't really happen. It was made up by a Denver journalist, after Molly Brown became a hero on the Titanic. When her daughter asked why she didn't refute the false story, Molly Brown supposedly replied, "It's better that they write *something* about me than nothing." (Kathy Bates, as Molly Brown, repeats the story in James Cameron's Titanic (1997).) Molly Brown is also said to have reported the story with a slightly different ending. Molly did hide money in the potbelly stove in their Leadville cabin, and Johnny unknowingly started a fire on a particularly cold night. According to Molly, as reported in newspapers interviews during her lifetime, "Just think if it had been paper money!" The money was gold and silver coins, which melted and adhered to the stove. Miners didn't trust paper money in those years. The stove had to be broken apart and resmelted to separate the iron, gold and silver.
As with most Hollywood biopics, there are liberties taken with the real story, most notably in that Margaret (Molly) and J.J. never reconciled. They separated in 1909, although they remained good friends who cared deeply for each other until his passing. She was also not quite the social outcast depicted in the film. Other aspects of her life that were missing from the movie: they had two children, a son and daughter. Margaret Brown was a passionate social crusader and philanthropist; she was a champion of women's rights, including education and the vote. She championed workers' rights, historic preservation, education and literacy, and child welfare, including helping to found the modern juvenile court system. After the sinking of the Titanic, she was noted for her efforts to commemorate the heroism of the men aboard the ship. After WWI, she helped to rebuild France and to aid wounded soldiers, and received the French Legion of Honor. She also ran twice for the U.S. Senate. She died in 1932.
This is Debbie Reynolds' personal favorite of her movies.
Film debut of Harve Presnell, who had originated the role in the Broadway production.
MGM's original choice for the role of Molly Brown was Shirley MacLaine, but she was locked in contract with Hal B. Wallis at the time. The film's director even asked Reynolds to decline the role. When Reynolds asked why, he commented that she was too short. Reynolds replied, "Well, just how short is the part?" That was the end of his objections.
"Molly Brown: Nobody wants to see me down like I wants to see me up."
"Molly Brown: [reading the ring] "Always remember two things I love you and the name of the bank.""
