Missed an American Tragedy

Presumably because I'm in the midst of an "everything that leads up to WI because of Downton Abbey" mania the rest of the world is too; here's a list of seven famous people that were supposed to be on the Titanic but missed it. One is Theodore Dreiser, who wrote an Xmastime superslice of superslices, An American Tragedy.


Interestingly enough, there were thousands of fucking nobodies that also missed it.
