Aside from being known as one of Hollywood’s greatest all-around talents, Debbie Reynolds is also known for her amazing collection of Hollywood memorabilia. She famously bid on the first auction of one of the pairs of Ruby Slippers in 1970, and was able to obtain the famous pair of test, aka “Arabian,” slippers plus an early Dorothy dress. These items, along with many others, will be auctioned off on June 18, 2011 by Profiles in History (known for their popular SyFy Channel cable show “Hollywood Treasures”) at The Paley Center for Media, 465 North Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, California.
