Ruby Slippers From 'The Wizard Of Oz' Go Up For Sale

Posted by Ally Reid at Tuesday, November 5, 2024 at 9:41 PM

A pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz are going up for auction. The famous shoes have quite a story - they were stolen from a museum display in 2005 by a man who believed they contained real rubies.  The FBI eventually recovered the slippers in 2018. The shoes are expected to fetch up to $3.5 million as part of a movie memorabilia auction that also includes the hat Margaret Hamilton wore as The Wicked Witch of the West. Source: CBS
