Judy Garland's Wizard of Oz dress on the auction block
Wizard of Oz fanatics hoping to own the dress worn by Judy Garland in the iconic film might need to appeal to the "Great and Powerful Oz" for financial support. The blue-and-white gingham dress worn by Garland when she played Dorothy Gale in 1939 is on display at Bonhams & Butterfields in San Francisco and is set to be auctioned April 26 in London. Bonhams said the dress could fetch from $50,000 to $70,000. "This dress represents the quintessential magic of childhood in the most beloved film of the 20th century," said Jon Baddeley, group head of Bonhams collector's department. "It has become a cherished memory for millions of fans worldwide and was worn by one of the most talented and respected stars in Hollywood." The dress was custom-made for Garland, who was 17 in 1939. It has a 27-inch waist and Garland's name on an inside hem label. The dress will also be displayed in Los Angeles in mid April. The auction house didn't identify the previous owner. John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for "Revolution" and a Mick Jagger jacket are also on display at Bonhams in San Francisco in advance of the auction of rock, pop, and film memorabilia.
