I also find it fascinating (and disappointing) that Debbie Reynolds
NEVER was able to find solid investors, especially in the Hollywood
community, to help keep this amazing collection under one roof, in a
museum-like setting. It has to be devastating, in a sense, for her,
that, after the decades of being the rescuer, gatherer and caretaker
of these pieces of Hollywood history (and with a good number being
iconic), the collection is going to be auctioned and sold, piecemeal.
Once in the hands of private collectors, some of these props or
costumes may not see the light of day or be in the public eye, for
years, if not decades.
I know many other pieces have been auctioned in the past. It is more
the idea that she is/was the sole owner of all of these Hollywood
treasures.

the Debbie Reynolds sale is fascinating for what it doesn't
include. the singular tragedy in the conservation of movie history
is Reynolds being willing but unable to save the destruction of the
MGM backlot by corporate raider Kirk Kerkorian. despite the numbers
making sense.
