The auction house featured in the show is the one, I believe, who liquidated Debbie's collection. In an episode several weeks ago, they visited the warehouse at her ranch in up-state California. OMG! BIG fangirl squeeee! The costumes and props were AMAZING! She's always been a favorite: How The West Was Won, Tammy, Singing in the Rain, The Unsinkable Molly Brown....Too many to name. <br /><br />I loved the two Hepburns as well, though Katharine was probably my favorite of the two.<br /><br />When a costume becomes iconoclastic, it says a lot, don't you think? I'm hoping HT will devote a couple of shows to the auction so we get a glimpse of even more of her treasures. Thanks for the trip down memory lane today!Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-49402830676085619882011-06-25T08:37:12.850-04:002011-06-25T08:37:12.850-04:001.
