Headline: RAW VIDEO: The Dude's A Buy! Robe Jeff Bridges Wore In The Big Lebowski Up For Auction
Caption: Fans of The Big Lebowski can buy one of the film’s most sought-after pieces of memorabilia - the bathrobe Jeff Bridges wore while playing ‘The Dude’. Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) are set to honour the 25th anniversary of the cult classic with a very special auction. This event is an integral part of Julien’s Auctions and TCM Present: Hollywood Legends event scheduled for Thursday, December 14th, through Sunday, December 17th, in Beverly Hills and online at julienslive.com. Taking place on the third day of Julien’s Auctions' year-end event, the special auction will showcase over 250 items, including storyboards, costumes, and more, all dedicated to celebrating The Big Lebowski. A portion of the proceeds from each lot will contribute to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. Established in 2010, this national campaign by the nonprofit organization Share Our Strength strives to eliminate childhood hunger in the United States, providing schools and community organizations with the necessary support to ensure children have access to essential food resources. Among the highlights of the auction is the robe (estimate $30,000-$50,000), Jeff Bridges-signed film replica bowling pins, The Dude’s sunglasses, and even a ball returner from Lebowski and Walter Sobchak’s favourite bowling alley. Since its debut at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, The Big Lebowski, created by the Coen Brothers, has evolved into one of the world’s enduring cult classics. Over the past 25 years, the film has become a cultural touchstone, giving rise to a community of adherents to Dudeism, the laidback lifestyle and philosophy embodied by the film's protagonist, Jeffrey ‘The Dude’ Lebowski, portrayed by Jeff Bridges. Sadly there’s no news (yet!) on whether that rug that really tied the room together is up for auction.
