A little Piece of Movie History... Marilyn Monroe:

The infamous ivory dress that the screen icon wore in the famous subway scene for the movie The Seven Year Itch  was sold at an auction for a whopping $4.6 million! The iconic dress was auctioned off in Beverly Hills this weekend. The buyer had to pay $1 million in fees making the dress a grand total of $5.6 million! So who would sell off this piece of movie history?!?  The William Travilla  - designed pleated halter dress  was put up for sale by Hollywood legend,  Debbie Reynolds . The 79 year-old starlet is an avid collector of   actress and movie memorabilia. Other pieces sold at auction including Monroe's red  Gentlemen Prefer Blondes  dress, which sold for $1.2 million;  Audrey Hepburn 's  My Fair Lady  Ascot dress, which raked in $3.7 million; and  Judy Garland 's blue  Wizard of Oz  dress used in test shots sold for $910,000 .
