On June 18,
thousands of the most iconic costumes and props in Hollywood history
will come to the auction block, a singular assemblage of art, fashion
and nostalgia. Steeped in historical and cultural significance, it is
perhaps one of the most emotion-laden collections of all time. Judy Garland's ruby-red slippers and cotton dress from "The Wizard of Oz," Charlie Chaplin's signature bowler, and the "drapery" hat Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) donned to woo Rhett Butler
are just a handful of the pieces selectively and methodically acquired
over four decades by Debbie Reynolds, who has finally given up trying to
find her vast collection a home.
