Dorothy Gibson (born Dorothy Winifred Brown; May 17, 1889 – February 17, 1946) was an American actress, socialite and artist's model, active in the early 20th century. She survived the sinking of the Titanic and starred in the first motion picture based on the disaster.
Once Saved from the Titanic came out, Dorothy Gibson was truly on top of the world. She was already one of the very first stars on film before the sinking, and in May 1912, just as the movie premiered, she was the highest-paid actress in the world alongside Old Hollywood darling Mary Pickford.
