LOS ANGELES — Child movie star Shirley Temple’s costumes, scripts and a dress she wore to the Oscars are up for grabs at an auction on Thursday, preserved by the actress turned U.S. diplomat for nearly 80 years before her death in 2014.

Temple, one of the most popular child actors in Hollywood, won legions of fans as a bouncy, curly-haired young star in 1930s movies such as “Bright Eyes”, “Heidi” and “Curly Top.”

The child actress went on to forge a second career as ambassador Shirley Temple Black and died at the age of 85 last year. Her family are now selling her belongings.

The items up for grabs on auctioneer Nate D. Sanders’ website include 57 costumes from films such as “Now and Forever”, “The Little Colonel”, “Dimples” and “Poor Little Rich Girl.”

“These costumes are extremely important because they are the actual costumes that were in the movies. Shirley Temple kept these actual costumes for almost 80 years,” auction house owner Nate Sanders said.

“The most important piece we have … is part of the lot of 57 dresses … the dream sequence from ‘Heidi’ where she did a dance number and wore wooden clogs. We have the dress and the wooden clogs. It’s one of Shirley Temple’s most remembered scenes.”

Temple’s personal movie scripts are also for sale as is the peach silk pleated dress she wore to receive the Juvenile Award at the 1935 Oscars.

“She was the number one box office star back then for four years in a row,” Sanders said. “No one has outshined her with that success.”

Mark Hamill’s Screen-Worn Hero Pants in the Original 1977 ”Star Wars” as Luke Skywalker

Screen-worn ”hero” costume pants worn by Mark Hamill in his career-defining role as Luke Skywalker in the 1977 epic film ”Star Wars”, the first in the groundbreaking trilogy. As one of the top-grossing films of all time, George Lucas’ first film in the successful series won six Oscars, among many other awards. In a galaxy far, far away, Hamill donned these iconic pants as the Jedi Knight of all Jedi Knights, wearing the costume pants throughout much of the film. Sand-colored ”cotton drill” Levi’s pants are purposely distressed to display wear, with dirt to back right pocket and in spots to front of pant legs. In fact, in an accompanying article, Mark Hamill said of the pants, ”By the way, those pants I wore were just bleached Levi’s with the tag still in them.” Pants measure 29” waist x 37” in length with two 6” slits up each side. Customized by the famous London costumier, Bermans & Nathans, original tag sewn to inseam reads: ”Bermans & Nathans / 40 Camden St., / London N.W. 1” tag with a ”Mark Hamill / 10490 Luke / Star Wars” printed in type beneath it. Very good condition overall. Also with tags attached from both Christie’s, where the pants were originally auctioned, and Sotheby’s, from its 1998 auction.  Sold for $60,000.
