Auction of a lifetime

This evening the public got a chance to preview the auction items from two legendary estates at Julien's Auctions Gallery in Beverly Hills.  This landmark auction event marks the sale of the personal property, antiques and memorabilia from the estate of Bob and Dolores Hope and the first lady of comedy, Phyllis Diller.  The rooms contained items from Hope's more than 60 year career in entertainment.  The exhibition is open to the public through Thursday, September 19th.  The live auction begins Friday, September 20th, for two days.
Extraordinary costumes, wigs and jewelry from Phyllis stage and screen career.
Her signature blond wig, long cigarette holder and self-deprecating
humor made her a cultural icon.
