Oz the Great and Powerful

It's one of the most recognizable outfits in American movie history, the blue-and-white checked gingham dress a young Judy Garland wore as Dorothy in the classic 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz."

The dress worn by Hollywood screen star Judy Garland when she played Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz” was auctioned at $1.56 million in New York. It was the chief highlight in a sale by Bonhams auction house where 400 pieces of Hollywood memorabilia were auctioned. Total sales by the auction house and Turner Classic Movies netted total sales worth more than $4 million.
