I read that the museum fell through and she had to sell the collection to pay off some debts associated with the project.

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