Tinseltown on the Block

The holidays are fast approaching, and perhaps you have a someone in your life who is hard…well, aren’t you lucky!  But what if they’re hard to shop for?  Check out the renowned Julien’s Auctions, where a fistful of celebrity wares are going on the block.  Say you’ve got someone a bit long in the tooth who loves old movies.  What about something from the estate of Sir Laurence Olivier and Dame Joan Plowright?  Sure, Dame Joan is still with us – but what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.  Their belongings hit the market on December 10th at 10AM PT.  The next day, the legendary Bob Mackie is divesting himself of some choice creations made for the likes of Cher, Joan Collins, Diahann Carroll, Carol Burnett, Pink, and oodles of others.  That takes place on December 11th, also at 10AM PT.  Later that day (at 11AM), there’s a number of assorted items from even BIGGER movie stars.  How big?  How’s about Marilyn Monroe’s bathing suit from Some Like It Hot, Judy Garland’s test dress from The Wizard of Oz, some of Greta Garbo’s undergarments, one of Elizabeth Taylor’s gowns from the kinda thin years, and even the mink coat Liza Minnelli wore to her wedding to David Gest.  I’m told Gest called it his “lucky coat” – because he got lucky on it on numerous occasions.  If only Liza had been in town at the time!
