LOS ANGELES — Organizers say a two-day auction of more than 700 costumes, scripts, awards and memorabilia from the estate of film star John Wayne brought in $5.4 million.
Heritage Auctions said Friday that the auction included items such as Wayne's last driver's license ($89,625), a holster and gun belt from the film "El Dorado" ($77,675), and an eye patch he wore as the iconic Rooster Cogburn in the 1969 movie, "True Grit" ($47,800).
Good to see as a portion of the proceeds go to the John Wayne Cancer Foundation. I can understand props bringing in big bucks, like the beret he wore in 'The Green Berets' netting nearly $180,000. People loved his movies. But, almost $90,000 for his driver's license...
