Edith Louise Rosenbaum Russell (June 12, 1879 – April 4, 1975) was an American fashion buyer, stylist and correspondent for Women's Wear Daily, best remembered for surviving the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic with a music box in the shape of a pig.
The paper mache toy, covered in pigskin and playing a tune known as "The Maxixe" when its tail was twisted, was used by Edith Russell to calm frightened children in the lifeboat in which she escaped.
Her story became widely known in the press at the time and was later included in the best-selling account of the disaster A Night to Remember by Walter Lord.
Russell was also portrayed in the award-winning British docudrama produced by William MacQuitty that was based on Lord's book.
