Still Afloat

Seventy-plus years since her death, Molly Brown remains one of Denver's most famous citizens, and Molly Brown: Biography of a Changing Nation, a new documentary by filmmaker Jim Havey that bows today, helps explain why, by "putting her in the context of the time that she lived," says Molly Brown House Museum director Kerri Atter. As Atter notes, the most famous survivor of the Titanic disaster "was very theatrical, and the myth and legend that developed around her went along with her personality."
