A sale of film memorabilia, artwork and jewellery owned by Doris Day has been sold for a total of £2,444,325. More than 1,100 items owned by the late Hollywood star went under the hammer during a two-day virtual sale hosted last weekend by Julien’s Auctions.
The total smashed a pre-sale estimate, set by the auction house, of between £244,325 and £488,650. The top-selling item was Day’s 1930 Ford Model A rumble seat roadster, named “Buttercup” and used on her show Best Friends, which sold for £78,145 – more than nine times its starting estimate.
Other highlights from the sale included Day’s 2002 Cadillac Escalade SUV (£23,446) and her director’s chair from The Doris Day Show (£13,026).
