Shirley Temple: A Collection

Worn By: Shirley Temple
Year: 1934-1938
Value: $250,000*

Actress Shirley Temple remains one of the most famous child stars of all time, and she was a top box-office draw in Hollywood in the 1930s. She starred in movies like Bright Eyes, The Little Princess, Heidi, and Curly Top.

The suit was previously owned by Gerry Sola, a memorabilia collector who scooped it up for just $10 in 1970, when he stopped by a sale of MGM props. Sola called the auction the “most exciting thing” that ever happened to him, and it appears that he got quite the return on his investment. Gene Kelly would be proud.
