Elizabeth Taylor is sometimes better known for her many marriages than her talents as an actress. This auction contains memorabilia from both aspects of her life. In 1959 Eddie Fisher and Taylor married in Las Vegas 3½ hours after Fisher’s divorce from Debbie Reynolds had been finalized. The resulting controversy and gossip plagued the newlyweds. Offered for sale is the marriage certificate of Taylor and Fisher from the estate of Lawerence Kammet, Public Relations Director to Eddie Fisher in the 1950s to the 1970s (Est. $4,000-$6,000). Also from the estate of Mr. Kammet is Taylor’s Golden Globe statuette from the provocative film Suddenly, Last Summer (Est. $30,000-$50,000). In 1951, Edith Head and Elizabeth Taylor created a fashion phenomenon with a bouffant gown worn in A Place in the Sun. The screen worn gown with its layers of tulle and delicate velvet flowers is offered for sale only at Julien’s Auctions (Est. $20,000-$30,000).
