Titanic's last survivor Millvina Dean is ill

[crazyaddict52]

Well, as some of you are probably aware, Titanic's last living survivor Millvina Dean has recently become very ill. She was supposed to speak at the 96th reunion of Titanic's sinking in Southhamton this month, but her health had been forced her to cancel it. Hopefully she'll be alright, but she is 96 as it is now

I hope Ms.Dean recovers well, she's a lovely old lady. I think what would also help her, is if autograph collectors would show some respect and leave her alone! I could never send a request to someone of that age who is obviously poorly, Titanic survivor or not.

Agreed. Maybe she will stop signing so she can get some rest, she gets soooooooo many requests, and she does live in a nursing home under care now.

Oh that's really sad! I hope that she does get better. I agree, I don't like it when people send her requests. I thought about it once because I'm a huge Titanic fan, but I couldn't ask anything of her when she's that old, and I decided against it.

I wish she lived at my care home She's so sweet! I've seen her talking on documentaries and I love her spirit. I hope she gets well soon

Thats very sad about Miss Dean.

This may hopefully, at long last stop anyone writing to her. It can sometimes become anything for an autograph, this state of mind must stop.

It may be true (and is) that some celebs even the very old, dont mind fanmail, but Miss Dean has said publicly for some time, that she does next like to recieve any more fanmail, but even those who should know better, will still write.

Would any of us like to be, in her condition she's 96 not 56, and is ailing.

Sorry for being so upfront, I do respect user's of this site, but truth must be told.

Exactly, and when you're living out the last few years of your life, do you really want to be sitting around signing autographs for people who are just going to make money out of you? Because that's the sad truth, the majority that write to her are not interested in her or the titanic, they're interested in sticking the autograph online and making a profit.

I'm honestly a fan of the titanic, and i thought it would be neat to have her autograph. (I don't sell any of mine, i frame them). Isn't that the same reason Shirley temple stopped signing autographs? But anyways, I'm positive she'll outlive this illness!
