Marilyn Monroe dress auctions for $4.6M
Unreal she died 48 years ago and still worth millions....
Her estate still brings in over 5 million a year
and now 4.6 million for a dress....
Marilyn Monroe was definitely the star at tonight's auction of Hollywood memorabilia, with the iconic dress she wore in the 1955 film "The Seven Year Itch" sold for a blockbuster $4.6 million.
In a classic movie moment, the ivory pleated Travilla dress billowed up as air rose from the subway grate underneath, revealing Monroe's legs, in the glory of Technicolor and CinemaScope.
Monroe's red-sequin number from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" didn't do badly, either, for a "little girl from Little Rock": $1.2 million.
Monroe's saloon girl costume from "River of No Return" sold for $510,000. The gold charmeuse gown covered with bugle beading, red fringe accents, and gold velvet train with red netting benefitted from having been worn by TWO Hollywood goddesses: The Helen Rose dress was originally created for Betty Grable for the "Cuddle Up a Little Closer" number in 1953's film "Coney Island."
And there didn't even have to be much material there to sell: Monroe's skimpy outfit from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," which she wore during the "Heat Wave" number, went for a half-million.
