Late movie legend Marlon Brando's personal effects will be sold at New York auction house Christie's on June 30 in the most high-profile sale since Marilyn Monroe's estate
was auctioned in 1999.
Organizers expect to raise more than $1 million from the sale of the 250 items from Brando's former Los Angeles home, which include the script from his 1972 classic "The
Godfather" and the infamous black outfit he wore in the first Superman movie, reports the Internet Media Database.
"Marlon Brando was an extremely private and elusive individual and the sale offers a rare privilege - an intimate insight into the lifestyle and career of a famed screen
colossus," the auction house spokesperson said.
"He meticulously retained memorabilia from his acting career and these treasure troves help unravel the methods of his iconic and legendary characterizations, and offer an
unsurpassed window into the world of this enigmatic acting genius."
