Join scores of collectors and fans for a chance to purchase pieces worn by Hollywood royalty,a portion of the net profits will go to Childhelp USA and other children’s advocacy charities.
Legions of Hollywood insiders and fans will flood the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Saturday, October 10 through Monday, October 12 for The Hollywood Studio Collection’s movie studio clothing sample sale of the year. Thousands of wardrobe pieces from various movie sets will be sold during the three-day event that consists of both vintage and contemporary clothing, shoes, décor, accessories and props that have been used by some of today and yesteryear’s hottest and most influential movie stars and blockbuster films.
President of The Hollywood Studio Collection and Emmy-Award winning producer and filmmaker James Ronald Whitney is opening this extensive collection to the public for a one-time offering during the three-day sale. Many of the spectacular collectible items will be available at an incredible price. The Hollywood Studio Collection will donate a portion of the proceeds to Childhelp USA, one of the world’s largest organizations that aid victims of child abuse and neglect, as well as a number of other child advocacy charities that are in need of funding.
“Childhelp USA is a tremendous foundation,” said Whitney. “I have championed their efforts since they sponsored my first film ‘Just, Melvin’ at the Sundance Film Festival. I am thrilled to be working hand-in-hand with them once again.”
“We are very grateful for the continuing support of Mr. Whitney and The Hollywood Studio Collection,” according to John Reid, Executive Director of Childhelp USA. “Through wonderful organizations such as this, Childhelp USA can continue to help the many victims of child abuse and neglect.”
The sample sale will offer rare and one-of-a-kind items that would normally be sold for thousands of dollars, for as little as $10. The pieces included in the sample sale are considered to be “unidentified,” which means that neither the film nor the actor associated with the motion picture has yet been researched and identified.
“This is part of the excitement,” continued Whitney. “For the first time ever, both the fans and the general public can play researcher. Maybe they’ll find the dress shirt worn by Tom Cruise in the infamous scene in ‘Risky Business’ or the sneakers Kevin Bacon debuted in ‘Footloose.’ The thrill is to purchase an item at a great price, only to later discover that it’s worth significantly more!”
The Hollywood Studio Collection movie wardrobe sale takes place Saturday, October 10 through Monday, October 12 over the Columbus Day Weekend from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the appropriately chosen Oscar Room on the second level of the famed Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, located at 7000 Hollywood Blvd., across from the world-famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Admission to this once-in-a-lifetime event is only $5, which includes a red-carpet sneak peek at some of the prized possessions in Vault #4 of The Hollywood Studio Collection. Guests who purchase items that are $15 or more can present their receipt for validation and refund of entry fee.
