If you like me find your salivary glands working overtime when admiring vintage dresses, actress Debbie Reynolds is your girl.
She auctioned off a chunk of her collection of vintage Hollywood memorabilia last weekend, including iconic vintage gowns like the white pleated dress Marilyn Monroe wore in The Seven Year Itch, Audrey Hepburns cream lace Ascot sheath from My Fair Lady , and Dorothys blue cotton shift and ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz .
Other items sold at auction included:
A matador outfit worn by Rudolph Valentino for the 1922 film Blood and Sand sold for $258,000. The auction house predicted before the sale it would go for about $80,000.
One of Charlie Chaplins signature bowler hats, worn in several films, sold for $135,300.
The World War I military uniform worn by Gary Cooper in the 1941 movie Sergeant York was purchased for $67,650.
A bidder paid $73,800 for the velvet brown racing silks and riding pants worn by a young Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet.
Times like these remind me how nice it must be to have the means to spend $135k on a vintage hat, am I right?
