where did the phrase' the unsikable molly brown' originate?

Question

was this phrased used previously to the filming of the movie titanic or not?

Answer 1

The woman who later became known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown was born Margaret Tobin in 1867. Her birthplace is at Denkler Alley and Butler Street in Hannibal, Missouri, U.S.

During the sinking of the Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland on April 14, 1912, Molly Brown was reputed to have rowed for seven and a half hours and delivered herself and her passengers to safety on Lifeboat No.6. She became known as the only woman to have done so and thus earned her nickname "Unsinkable".

Answer 2

Yes. Molly Brown got the nickname "Unsinkable" after surviving the Titanic's sinking. There was a broadway musical, and a movie version "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" prior to the James Cameron "Titanic."

Molly was quite a character and a treasure in Denver society. Check out some history on her.

Answer 3

Hello there:
"The Unsinkable Molly Brown" is not really a phrase, but a real person.
Molly Brown was a entertainer who travelled the world with her act. While coming back to her homeland of the United States she made one mistake in her plans.
The ship she was coming back on was the first and only voyage of the Titanic. Molly Brown was one of the lucky ones to make it back home to the United States and she actually became more of a hero because of the ill fated voyage.
I hope this solved the mystery
