They are packing up Old Hollywood and moving it to Newbury Park.

That's where about 3 million film studio publicity stills, 50,000 original movie posters and 20,000 vintage fan magazines will be stored until they are auctioned off six months from now.

The huge cache of movie memorabilia, gathered over the last 43 years by film fan and collectibles dealer Malcolm Willits, includes original scripts and studio contracts signed by such actors as Boris Karloff, Frank Sinatra and Vincent Price, and one that was signed by Elizabeth Taylor -- and her parents.

The collection, housed in a storefront on Hollywood Boulevard near the Pantages Theater, is considered by some experts to be second in size only to that of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

I saw this last week, Tref. Mouth watering, but, for me the good stuff will go too high for my budget.

I loved going to their shop in the old days, I'd be sneezing from the dust, but it was fun!
