The Golden Closet Newsletter Blog May 2009
May has proven to be another busy month here at The Golden Closet. Exciting new entertainment memorabilia items are constantly being added to our collection of screen used celebrity wardrobe and props. We also had several items that were sold in the recent Profiles in History Auction that took place on March 1st. Auction results will be posted soon and more info can be found at www.profilesinhistory.com.
We were saddened to hear about the recent passing of Mr. Dom Deluise, a true comedy legend that brought laughter to millions of film fans over the years and whose collaboration with Burt Reynolds produced some of the finest comedies of the 1970’s era. We are proud to offer collectors the chance to own memorabilia from two of Mr. Deluise’s funniest films, “Cannonball Run” and the film adaptation of “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas”, both of which featured the actor’s long time friend and collaborator Burt Reynolds. These items are currently featured on Ebay and can be viewed by clicking on this link:
