Items from the life and career of Whoopi Goldberg will be auctioned off next month, showcasing the versatile entertainer’s “exceptional taste and eye for detail,” Julien’s Auctions announced.
The auction, titled “Whoopi Goldberg: The Collection,” will take place over two days on March 10-11 live from Los Angeles and online.
“Over seven decades of a life well lived and more than 40 years of a fabulous career, it’s time to part with some of the many treasures that are filling more storage units than one person should have,” Goldberg said in a statement. “I’m honored to partner with the iconic Julien’s Auctions to find new homes for these special pieces, which I hope can now bring someone else as much joy as they have brought to me. I am equally thrilled that two such wonderful organizations, One Simple Wish and Donors Choose, will benefit from this special auction.”
