Why didn't anybody buy this entire collection that Ms. Reynolds collected for the world to see, dosent anybody care anymore? I admired Ms. Reynolds for everything she did...
She asked for help from the Academy of Motin pictures to set up a museum in Hollwood she was turnd down a total of 5 times....now she has passed in 2021 they actualy opend a museum and came crawlig and begging to her son Todd to borrow stuff that was left in the collection to exibit! they were not interested when Debbie was still with us! makes me so angry as she spent a lot of cash and time over all those yrs to save all the porps , costumes etc and I like Debbie would have loved to see it all stay toghther as a collection in museum! Sadly with the failure of her vegas hotel and debts she had no choice but to auction stuff off as no one else in hollywood gave a care in the world back then as to how culturaly significant the collection was to the history of film and hollywood!
I was so sad to see that Debbie ended up having to auction stuff off after spending so much money saving A LOT of the MGM costumes , props etc when MGM sold it all off in the 70s! its a shame that NO ONE in Hollywood would help fund a Museum for the collection including the Academy ( she was tuned down 5 times over the years) BUT now she has passed and what is left in the collection owned by her son Todd they have come crawling back when they built a museum in 2021 begging for stuff to be loaned to them from the collection! Todd has laond some stuff but not much , DEBBIE would be Angry (after being turned down 5 times) BUT also equaly happy that they have finaly decided to have a museum! As Todd said his mother was a forgiving person! 😉
