HALLIE: This week, the incredible collection of iconic movie costumes that Debbie Reynolds had collected over a lifetime went on the auction block. Marilyn Monroe's white dress--the one from Seven Year Itch with the pleated skirt, billowing in a gust of air from a subway grating--went for a record $5.6 million."Oh do you feel the breeze from the subway? Isn't it delicious," MM said in the movie. Supposedly her then husband (Joe DiMaggio?) looked on, seething in stony silence.
I love this photo of Debbie (I still think of her as Tammy) with a poster and two costumes from her collection. So sad that the collection had to be liquidated to pay creditors.
Reading abut the auction got me thinking about my favorite costumes from stage and screen. Here are some I'd love to have collected.
Do you know them ? Did I pick ones you remember? What other costumes you covet??
(Could you identify them all? I posted a Who's Who in the first comment!)
