LOS ANGELES (AP) — The brown felt fedora worn by actor
Harrison Ford in the second installment of the Indiana
Jones movies sold for $630,000 at auction, film and TV
memorabilia company Propstore announced Friday.

The hat featured in 1984’s "Indiana Jones and the Temple
of Doom" was expected to fetch between $250,000 and
$500,000, according to the item’s online description.

The fedora comes from the personal collection of the late
stunt performer Dean Ferrandini, who also wore it while
standing in for Ford as Jones, the dashing archaeologist
who really hates snakes.

 
Harrison Ford turned 82 July 13th.

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota hometown of Judy Garland, the actress who wore a pair of ruby slippers in "The
Wizard of Oz," is raising money to purchase the prized footwear
after it was stolen from a local museum and then later turned
over to an auction company.

Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where the late actress was born in
1922, is fundraising at its annual Judy Garland festival, which
kicks off Thursday. The north Minnesota town is soliciting
donations to bring the slippers back after an auction company
takes them on an international tour before offering them up to prospective buyers in December.

Shure model SM33 ribbon microphone.

The microphone was saved from a trash bin by "The Tonight
Show" chief boom operator Stan Sweeney.

An anonymous bidder in 2005 snatched a piece of TV history,
offering $50,787 for the microphone that sat prominently on
the desk of late-night king Johnny Carson until the 1980s.

The offer was about twice that expected at auction.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The costume Tonya Harding (53) wore
at the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships is up for auction.

The red sequin outfit was worn by Harding the day after that
infamous attack on Nancy Kerrigan, forcing her to withdraw
from the competition. Harding went on to win the gold.
 
Right now, bidding for Harding’s costume stands at $3,000.
