Fans came out for Betty White this weekend, stunning Julien's Auctions, which had expected to make maybe $600,000 on the late actress' memorabilia.
"You would be hard-pressed to find an individual as iconic and well-loved as Betty White, whose impact is absolutely multi-generational," Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's Auctions, said in a statement.
A director's chair used by White during the production of"Golden Girls" sold for $76,800, far exceeding its original estimate of $1,000. Scripts from the show's pilot and final episodes, which were signed by the cast, sold for $57,600 and $51,000, respectively. A sapphire and diamond ring worn on"The Mary Tyler Moore show" sold for $32,000, 35 times its original estimate, Julien's Auctions said.
And it wasn't just show business items that fetched a high price. A 1950s oil painting of White sold for $43,700.
