# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Margaret Brown was born Margaret Tobin on July 18, 1867, and became an American socialite and philanthropist. She survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912, and while in Lifeboat No. 6 she unsuccessfully urged the crew to return to the debris field to look for survivors. Her friends called her "Maggie" during her lifetime, but by her death on October 26, 1932, obituaries referred to her as the "Unsinkable Mrs. Brown". Gene Fowler called her "Molly Brown" in his 1933 book Timber Line, and the following year newspapers used both "Unsinkable Mrs. Brown" and "Molly Brown". The 1960 Broadway musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown, with music and lyrics by Meredith Willson and book by Richard Morris, fictionalized her life and was made into a 1964 film starring Debbie Reynolds. She has been portrayed on screen by Thelma Ritter, Cloris Leachman, Marilu Henner, and Kathy Bates.
