Description

Elizabeth Taylor's screen-worn petticoat skirt from her role as professional gambler Alice Moffit in the 1987 made-for-television Western romance movie Poker Alice. The pink petticoat is decorated with lace along the bottom, clusters of pink ribbons, and colorful floral ribbons, and is marked inside the waist in black felt tip, "E. T. Poker Alice." As this was worn under her pink gown, it is not visible in the film. In very good to fine condition, with some tears and fraying to the lace.

Also includes:

A foam female head used as a wig stand during production, marked on the bottom in felt tip, "Elizabeth Taylor, Wig Stand, 'Poker Alice,' March 1987, Old Tucson."

An unsigned second draft script inside New World Television wrappers.

A third final draft script, signed and inscribed on the front cover in ink to Old Tucson Studios founder Bob Shelton by Elizabeth Taylor ("To Bob, Much love, Elizabeth"), Tom Skerritt ("Thanks, Shoot 'em up, Bob, Tom Skerritt"), George Hamilton ("As always—great! George Hamilton"), Richard Mulligan ("Thank you, Bob, Richard Mulligan"), Pat Corley ("Thanks for looking so well!…Pat Corley"), Arthur Allan Seidelman ("Thank you for the wonderful hospitality of Old Tucson, Art Seidelman"), Harvey Matofsky ("To Mr. Old Tucson, Thank you for all your help and cooperation and friendship, Harvey"), and Renée Valente ("To Bob—What would we have done without you—nothing! No picture! No fun! No great memories! Thanks for al—Renée Valente").

Three images of Taylor on the set of the film.

A souvenir modern antique-style biography of Alice Tubbs, alias 'Poker Alice,' framed to an overall size of 9.75 x 11.

A crew "Poker Alice, Transportation Department" trucker-style baseball cap (with broken snapback closure).

A print of the real-life "Deserted Home of Poker Alice," framed to an overall size of 18 x 14, and marked with a date of 1982 on the reverse. In overall very good to fine condition. Robert Shelton's Old Tucson Studios Collection
