So why didn't she just sell a couple of the costumes and use the money to fund the museum? Sharon C.

From what I have read the sell bought 18 million. I didn't hear about the sale until it was on the TV news Saturday. But I didn't see TV or internet from June 1-12 because of my son's wedding. I did some backtracking to find out the info that I shared with you all. I have joined Profiles in History Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/ProfilesInHistory to receive updates. That is where I found out that the next sale is in Dec. Maybe we can order the next catalog's sale when they announce its publication. I'll make sure to let you know when it is available. People are begging for another issue to be published of the first catalog. Maybe because of Debbie's age that she decided to sell the collection. She is 77 years old. There are supposed to have been a museum for her collection near Dollywood. I guess it fell through. >From reading their FB page, there were several buyers. Some of Errol Flynn's costumes went to a small museum in Ohio. I was sad that I missed the auction being a live feed online. My daughter-in-law saw some of the auction on TVs in Vegas casinos. A couple of people on my business FB page had bought the catalogs. I don't know how they heard about the auction. I would have flown in to see the collection if I had known about it beforehand. There were three preview dates and people were allowed to photograph the costumes. The V&A is going to exhibit a select few of the costumes. There is a page in the beginning of the book.
