Mae West: Auction Tomorrow

Crisp hand-colored MAE WEST lobby cards are included in an astonishing collection of film and stage memorabilia that will be auctioned this Saturday — — in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
• • The one-day auction on 19 September 2009 will be organized by Leland Little Auction & Estate Sales [620 Cornerstone Court]. Cataloguer Rob Golan predicts the sale of Bill Morrison's lots to begin at approximately 4 PM. Absentee, phone, and online bidding options are available.
• • Staff writer Matt Ehlers interviewed the 69-year-old collector, who once cultivated and tended a growing garden of pop culture but who has admitted, "I don't go to movies anymore. I think Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies."
• • Ehlers paints a fascinating portrait of Bill Morrison, who has become less enchanted by about celebrity culture.
• • Ehlers whets the reader's appetite like this: Bill Morrison spent more than 33 years working as an entertainment editor and writer with The News & Observer, getting paid to review movies and plays, watching television and interviewing celebrities. He doesn't miss it.
• • For interesting details about Morrison's more unusual and most valuable keepsakes, please see the entire article (cited below).
