England's Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the Titanic, opposed all attempts to raise the wreck of the ship in which her father died in 1912. She said it would be horrible.

Yet, not long before her death (May 31), she was forced to auction off some of her mementos to pay her nursing home bills. Some "Titanic" actors came to her aid. Which ones?

The sinking: Dean was 2 months old when she was bundled aboard a lifeboat with her mother and brother after the ship hit an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland. They were among the more than 700 people rescued out of the 2,000-plus passengers and crew who had sailed.
