No! I meant MAGGIE Brown!
Margaret Brown of Denver Colorado (known as Maggie) was the heroine of the play and movie titled, “The Unsinkable Mollie Brown”. For some reason the producers of the play decided that Molly sounded better. In her lifetime Mrs Brown was never called “Mollie”.
This little fact is mentioned by the tour guide at the Brown's "House of Lions" in Denver. And this from the Wikipedia page on Margaret Brown; " She became known after her death as The Unsinkable Molly Brown, although she was not called Molly during her life. Her friends called her Maggie"
