Fox auctions rare papers for charity

Cary Grant, Lana Turner, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe: What would they have been without… documents? 20th Century Fox will rid itself of about 200 rare contracts, memos, and other mundane bits of paper signed by famous people, in a charity auction next month, says Variety. Obsessive details abound within, dead-star stalkers!


Grant was given an extraordinary star perk when the studio offered to give him a dressing-room phone, and Elvis Presley was given permission to violate strict grooming codes and wear his hair however he saw fit in 1958 as part of a contract signed by Presley and Col. Tom Parker for
Love Me Tender.
