EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Premiere Props will be auctioning off over 750 pieces of movie memorabilia, props and costumes on Saturday, Dec. 12. The online auction will begin at 11 a.m.  PST / 2 p.m. Eastern. Bid absentee or live online through LiveAuctioneers.

The auction also marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration with the Debbie Reynolds Archives and her son Todd Fisher with a collection of props, costumes and photos from Reynolds’ career.

“My mother’s wish was to cater to her fans and give them the chance to own and cherish her costumes and props,” said Fisher. “We are excited to bring thousands of her items, at all price points, from her archive collection directly to her fans through Premiere Props’ Hollywood Live Auctions.”

Items from The Debbie Reynolds’ Archives include:

– Elaborate custom-made stage costumes designed by the legendary costumer Bob Mackie for her stage shows.

– Stage-worn gold-sequined rhinestone jumpsuit with ostrich feathers from the Debbie and Donald O’Connor live show from her “Ginger Rogers Tribute.”

– Red, white and blue spangled costume worn during the “Bicentennial” segment of her 1976 one-woman stage show.

– Stage-worn and autographed dance shoes from her Las Vegas show.

– A complete rare family preserved early photoshoot collection of Carrie Fisher in her preteen and teen years, never released or shown to the public. Plus, original photos of Carrie, Debbie and Todd Fisher.

– Actual pieces of flooring from the Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio together with autographed posters and photos that were on display at the studio. The dance floor was originally from MGM studios (1930s) and Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell and other major stars from the era danced on it. The floor was purchased by Reynolds and installed in 1976 at her studio where stars including Michael Jackson (rehearsing for his Thriller concert tour), Ann Miller and Michael Crawford used it.

– An original movie poster from Singing in the Rain, autographed by Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor.

– Autographed prints of Reynolds’ MGM friends including Jimmy Stewart, Bettie Davis, June Allyson, Ann Miller, Esther Williams, Jane Russell and Jack Lemmon, among others.

– A collection of rare, autographed Star Wars posters direct from Carrie Fisher’s personal collection.

– A rare collection of autographed Debbie Reynold’s original studio prints from her award-winning films.
