Bonus interview:The Coroner’s Hat from The Wizard of Oz

 

In March of 2010, I interviewed Joe Maddalena, CEO of premier auction house, Profiles in History, concerning some very early commisions Profiles had received for their Hollywood Auction #40 being held this week, June 10th,11th, and 12th.

Here, Joe discusses the history of this screen used “Coroners Hat” from the classic film, The Wizard of Oz.

    If clothes make the Man, then this hat is well worth its weight. A classic piece from an iconic film and to think it will go to someone who I hope will honor the legacy of the film and take care of something so “small” yet part of a “big” and never ending history of a great film.
