The Julien’s Auctions sale will take place from September 23 at 10 a.m. PT through September 25. Its name is straightforward: “Property From the Life and Career of Betty White.”
The auction, which is already accepting reservations to bid, includes an astonishing 1,650 items, according to the auction house’s website. Some of the most notable items include her Screen Actors Guild Awards, signed scripts from Golden Girls, and her 1937 student ID card and a diploma from high school.
Some of the other high-priced items include her 2000 Cadillac Seville STS Touring Sedan, a Ruser vintage fortune cookie brooch, paintings, and jewelry.
Other items are flat-out amusing, like a nun doll, a Charlie McCarthy puppet, and Laurel and Hardy pins.
Also up for sale is a vintage 1973 14th edition of the game Password. Last month, Jimmy Fallon and Keke Palmer paid tribute to White, a frequent Password guest, on their reboot of the trivia show.
Betty White Parts Ways With Her Pet Toys
Meanwhile, White’s love of animals is also apparent thanks to the auction items. Some examples include a pastel portrait and Polaroid photo of her pet dog, owl figurines, and a calico cat handmade framed needlepoint with a matching ceramic cat figurine.
To be clear: There are a veritable ton of animal-related items for sale at the Betty White auction.
Fans of the comedic actress might recognize some of the items up for auction from when she charmingly gave a tour of her home in the suburbs of Los Angeles two years ago.
The Golden Girls star and her husband Allen Ludden purchased the colonial-style house in 1968 and lived together there until Ludden’s death in 1981. Following his passing, White remained at the property in Brentwood.
It continued to be her primary residence until her own death last New Year’s Eve. One of the most universally beloved celebrities of the past century, Betty White spent her final moments in her home.
Roughly three months ago, the home sold for $10.678 million.
Julien’s Auctions is located about an hour south of Brentwood, California, where White died on December 31. She would have turned 100 years old less than three weeks later.
