$4.6 MILLION FOR SEVEN YEAR ITCH SUBWAY DRESS

I just watched the Debbie Reynolds auction live online. Marilyn Monroe's memorabilia were the highest auctioned items, with the Seven Year Itch white "Subway Dress" selling at $4.6 million ($1 million starting price).

I'm not sure who the winning bidder is, but I hope the dress is put into a museum for fans to adore for years to come.

Other high-selling Marilyn items include:
"Little Rock" dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: $1.2 million
River of No Return saloon dress: $510,000
"Heat Wave" dress from There's No Business Like Show Business: $500,00

Check out the screen captures and other items that hit the auction on my Marilyn Monroe fan page.
