A Christie's auction on Thursday was full of celebrity memorabilia. Marilyn Monroe's black cocktail dress from the movie The Misfits, sold for $66,000, and an address book owned by the star sold for $31,200. A gold linked bracelet given to Carole Lombard by Clark Gable went for $7,800. The Andy Warhol lots, which were offered by the artist's nephew, attracted some of the most attention, though they were not the most expensive items there. A Polaroid of Mick Jagger, taken by Warhol, went for $15,600, while a photo of Muhammad Ali that Warhol had autographed fetched $19,200. And Andy's famous, silver wig sold for $10,800.
