deadline.comFor a cool million-dollars-plus, a pair of the famed and rare Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz can take a hallowed place on your very own shoe rack.
The slippers, worn on-screen by Judy Garland in the 1939 classic MGM musical, are up for auction at Heritage Auctions, with the current bid at $812,500.
Add in the buyer’s premium – a fee paid by the winning bidder to the auction house – and the price is currently at $1,015,625.
The auction continues through December 7. With four pairs of Ruby Slippers known to exist – including a pair in the Smithsonian – the shoes up for auction are visible in the most iconic scenes of the film, including the “We’re Off to See the Wizard” dances, the Poppy Field scene, the Tap Your Heels scene and the shot in which the Wicked Witch nearly electrocutes herself by trying to remove the slippers from Dorothy’s feet prematurely.
