Souvenirs of stardom

- Las Vegas Review-journal

An auction of more than 800 items collected by Debbie Reynolds and daughter Carrie Fisher drew a packed house Sunday at Mcmanus Auctions in Las Vegas.

Money raised will be donated to the new Debbie Reynolds Performing Arts Scholarshi­p at UNLV.

Reynolds’ son Todd Fisher presided over the sale.

Among the items were movie costumes, props and personal belongings, including Reynolds’ vintage wall phone, as well as “Star Wars” memorabili­a collected by Carrie Fisher, who portrayed Princess Leia in five of the films.

Judy Plaster bid on a framed picture of Reynolds.

“I fell in love with Debbie when I was 11,” Plaster said. “I even named my daughter Tammy after her movie.”
