Betty White’s Estate to Auction Over 1,600 Personal Artifacts From Her Life and Career

More than 1,600 items from Hollywood legend Betty White’s estate are up for auction this weekend.

White’s copy of the first draft of the pilot episode script for “The Golden Girls,” along with an autographed production-used pilot script, are among the memorabilia from her iconic television series up for bid, along with her directors chair from the beloved show’s set, which is expected to sell for $1,000 to $2,000. A number of other scripts from that program, along with “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Hot In Cleveland” are also included in the lots.

Several awards, including her 2015 People’s Choice Award for “Favorite Icon” and her 1994 Television Academy Hall of Fame award and a Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement award are likely to garner interest, as well.

White’s Emmy Award nomination certificates for “The Golden Girls,” “Saturday Night Live” and “Hot in Cleveland” are also among the auction items, along with the black-and-gold Mignon gown she wore to the Emmy Awards in 1989. Several other vintage designer gowns from Hollywood awards shows are among the lots.

Julien’s Auctions has already received thousands of bids for the wide variety of items, many of which are animal themed, reflecting the star’s lifelong devotion to animal causes. Cat-themed jewelry, hand-embroidered wall hangings and a host of animal figurines are among the lots.
