Fame and Fortune
Monday, March 8 at 8:00 pm on MPBN TV  

Antiques Roadshow celebrated 10 years of appraisals with this special spotlighting celebrities and their stuff. Tune in to find out what the first mask ever worn by television’s Lone Ranger is worth, among other famous artifacts.

“Fame and Fortune” features a stellar lineup of appraisals that give new meaning to the term “face value.” Highlights include a collection of photos and memorabilia documenting Marilyn Monroe’s progression from 14-year-old Norma Jean Baker to screen siren; an eye-popping collection of memorabilia from the Ramones punk band, preserved by a friend of DeeDee Ramone; James Dean’s 1948 high school junior yearbook, signed with his name and nickname, “Rack”; signed souvenir photos of Wild West legends Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill; a reproduction plaster cast of the 1860 life mask of Abraham Lincoln, found in an attic; and a rare, mint-condition vintage set of Beatles nodder dolls, in their original box.
