On June 26th and 27th insanely rich fans of celebrities including Marilyn Monroe and Christopher Reeve will be able to pick up some collectibles at an auction just announced by Julien’s. Happening at Planet Hollywood in Vegas, eager bidders will be able to fight one another for some pretty insane ephemera. The more obvious stuff includes:

• Tony Soprano’s bottle of Xanax
• Christopher Reeve’s Superman costume (cape, bodysuit and tights)
• Mel Gibson’s shield, sword and costume from Braveheart
• The earrings Kate Winslet wore in Titanic
• Mia Farrow’s nightgown from Rosemary’s Baby

The auction also boasts some items of the creepy, more personal variety such as Marilyn Monroe’s own bottle of Channel #5, pieces of her clothing, an x-ray of her chest and her therapist’s couch. Many of these items come to auction by way of the estate of her late therapist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, which I’m guessing will earn a tidy penny from the proceeds. Apparently, Greenson didn’t earn enough from his long list of celebrity clients while he was alive, leaving his descendants feeling the need to pick the carcass clean (that’s sarcasm, by the way):

In 1960, Marilyn Monroe began seeing Los Angeles psychoanalyst Dr. Ralph R. Greenson at the recommendation of her New York therapist, Marianne Kris. Greenson had worked with many Hollywood celebrities including Vivien Leigh, Frank Sinatra and Tony Curtis. Dr. Greenson started working with her when she started her work on the movie “Misfits”. As life got more complicated and her relationship with Arthur Miller changed and things progressed Monroe saw Greenson up to five or six times a week at his Santa Monica home office. (Source)
