Debbie Reynolds auctions off Hollywood treasures
June 16, 2011
::snipping2::
On Saturday, Reynolds will demonstrate her flair with an auction of movie memorabilia she's gathered over four decades and which includes costumes evoking some of filmdom's greatest stars and roles.
Among them: The Marilyn Monroe dress that flirted with a subway gust in "The Seven Year Itch," Audrey Hepburn's stunning black-and-white Ascot race scene gown designed by Cecil Beaton for "My Fair Lady," and Elizabeth Taylor's pint-sized race togs from "National Velvet" and towering headdress from "Cleopatra."
::snipping2::
Profiles in History, the auction house, estimates the nearly 600 items could bring up to $10 million in the sale that will also be conducted online. More of Reynolds' treasure trove is to be sold in December
::snipping2::
Other pieces up for grabs include costumes worn by Yul Brynner in "The King and I," Greta Garbo in "Anna Karenina" and Marlon Brando in "Mutiny on the Bounty," along with props such as a guitar used by Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music."
Reynolds' latest acquisition was the "My Fair Lady" gown, which she bought for $100,000 at auction.
There are a number of Monroe costumes, which hold appeal for Reynolds because she knew the actress ("A sweet girl," Reynolds says) but also because they're beautifully designed and made.
::snipping2::
The auction represents the end of a dream. Reynolds' combined casino-hotel and museum in Las Vegas closed and Reynolds planned to relocate the museum to Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Last year, Reynolds' son, Todd Fisher, said the project had to file for bankruptcy protection and the collection would be sold to satisfy creditors.

Muffy I was just reading about this today. I am fascinated about this stuff. I would have loved to take a tour and see all these costumes.
Below is a Youtube video of an episode the antiques roadshow did about her collection.

WOW look how much Marilyn Monroe's dress sold for
Debbie Reynold's Hollywood Auction Brings in Big Numbers; $4.6 Mil for Marilyn Dress
Want to know the value of Hollywood iconography? Tens of millions.
I spent a good part of last night following on line the auction of Debbie Reynolds' great collection of Hollywood memorabilia. It was a terrific show.
Some of the results:
Bottom line: Marilyn still sells. Big.: Marilyn Monroe's billowy white subway dress from "Seven Year Itch" went for $4.6 million. A red sequined dress from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" went for $1.47 mil.; a dress from "There's No Business Like Show Business" went for $500,000, a dress from "River of No Return" went for $510,000.

How about the Rudolph Valentino Matador outfit? Woo-hoo! He was hot back in the day.
Ohh! And I see there was even Errol Flynn's “Don Juan de Marana” dark green two-piece. He was quite the swashbuckler too!
Thanks for the link, San. I'll be going back to look at it more as I get time.

Know what is sad about this is that someone had the opportunity to purchase most of this stuff to preserve it here in the USA. No one stepped in from the Motion Picture Academy and purchase one piece to keep it in Hollywood. The said a lot of pieces were purchase from Saudi Arabia and Japan. It doesn't have the same value to those people as it does here. JMO
