If the song wasn't sexy enough, the dress made up for it--so tight
Marilyn Monroe had to be sewn into it.
LOCATOR: NEW YORK CITY
37 years later, the dress she only wore once to sing Happy Birthday
to JFK -- took peoples breath away again - selling for more than a
million dollars - the highest price every paid for a piece of Hollywood
memorabilia.
(NAT)
It was just one of a host of Marilyn Monroe collectibles auctioned
off at Christie's in New York--everything from a 33-thousand dollar
Bible, to a dress she wore to entertain troops in Korea - price tag:
more than a hundred grand.
Speaking of grand, how about her Grand Piano - that went for more
than $600 thousand dollars.
So did this: the eternity ring given to Monroe by baseball legend Joe
DiMaggio - price tag: 772 thousand dollars.
There were earrings and jeans, pictures and shoes - even her Golden
Globe Award - items that had been in storage for decades - left to
Monroes acting coach after her death in 1962.
A portion of the proceeds is expected to go to charity.
(NAT)
It was an event collectors had waited for for months. Even some of
her former stars showed up for the gala - Tony Curtis who appeared with
Monroe in the Hollywood classic, "Some Like it Hot" sat in the front row
as the bidding began.
He was one of the lucky ones who actually got a seat - It was
standing room only with 12-hundred people registered to bid, and more
than 100 telephone lines installed for collectors around the world.
(NAT)
In the end, even Christie's auction house was surprised by the
bidding - the last big auction of the millennium, for a woman many
described as the icon of the 20th century glamour. Lee Cowan, CBS News,
