Latest Profiles in History bidder is real costume party
Some rare movie memorabilia has gone to lucky bidders during an auction Friday by Profiles in History. The late actor Christopher Reeve's "Superman" costume worn in the first film of the same name brought in 115-thousand-dollars. That was well past its $50,000 to $70,000 price estimate. A "winkie" costume from the beloved classic "The Wizard of Oz" also earned 115-thousand-dollars at auction, but that was well within its estimated price. The costume was worn by one of the actors portraying a guard who protected the Wicked Witch of the West.
Other items that were sold by the Southern California-based auctioneer included a Batsuit from the film "Batman Forever" and an alien creature costume from the 1979 movie "Alien."
