Betty White Memorabilia Auction: How To Buy And What To Bid On

Betty White fans now have the chance to own a piece of memorabilia from the late actress as some of her personal belongings are going up for auction.

A collection of more than 1,500 items will be for sale at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, California, in a live three-day event from Sept. 23 to 25, starting at 10 a.m. PT each day. The items will be able to be bid on at the auction house and online at juliensauctions.com.

The memorabilia collection will include items collected over the star’s career that spanned eight decades, including pieces from her time on the show “The Golden Girls.”

Noteworthy pieces going up on the auction block include her wedding band from her marriage to Allen Ludden as well as a series of awards, scripts, a number of wardrobe pieces, furnishings, artwork, and jewelry.

White’s original director chair from “The Golden Girls” set ($1,000 to $2,000) will be auctioned off as well as the pilot first draft script ($1,000 to $2,000), read by White when considering taking the part of Rose, and the finale script of the show.

Other items in the collection include pieces from her time on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Betty White Show,” and “Hot in Cleveland,” as well as films such as “One Flew Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Those that want to view the White collection prior to the September auction can do so through an exhibition tour that will make a stop in Santiago, Chile, from May 12 to July 4 at the Museo de la Moda, and then in Kildare, Ireland, from Aug. 1 to Sept. 11, at The Museum of Style Icons at Newbridge Silverware Visitor Centre.

Luxury cruise line Cunard will also showcase White’s auction pieces in a seven-night transatlantic crossing from Aug. 5 to Aug. 12, departing from New York and arriving in Southampton, U.K.

“Betty White was a beloved national treasure and a cross generational icon who made us laugh for eighty years with her illustrious work on film, radio and television classics,” Darren Julien, president and CEO of Julien’s Auctions, said in a statement.

“We are honored to work with her Estate in this exclusive presentation of these precious artifacts and personal mementos from her storied life and career which will be offered for the first time at auction to the public, museum curators and her legions of fans worldwide.”

White died at the age of 99 on Dec. 31.
