2007-05-30
A pink cocktail dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" sold for 192,000 dollars in New York on Wednesday, more than six times its highest pre-sale estimate. The dress went to a private European buyer, Christie's auction house said in a statement. The more famous little black dress Hepburn wore in the film sold for more than 800,000 dollars in London last year. Among other lots in Wednesday's memorabilia auction was a costume worn by Barbra Streisand in the 1968 film "Funny Girl," which went for 33,600 dollars. A bowler hat worn by comedian Stan Laurel, half of the 1930s slapstick double act Laurel and Hardy, meanwhile fetched 26,400 dollars.
