Film memorabilia, artwork and jewellery are among the “affordable” items belonging to the late Hollywood star Doris Day which are set to go under the hammer.
Day was one of the top box office draws of the 1950s and 60s owing to her girl-next-door image and distinctively sweet voice.
She is best remembered for starring opposite Rock Hudson in romantic comedies including 1959’s Pillow Talk, as well as for sitcom The Doris Day Show.
US-born actress Day died in May last year at the age of 97. Beverly Hills-based Julien’s Auctions is now overseeing a sale of property from her estate, with all of the proceeds going towards her eponymous animal foundation, to which she dedicated most of her later life.
