TIL the first movie about the sinking of the Titanic premiered only 31 days after she sank, and was written by an actress who survived the sinking, who also starred in it. She later had a nervous breakdown and never acted again.

    The film has now been completely lost, there's no surviving copies. It's pretty crazy that something that important was just allowed to vanish from history.
