‘Brokeback’ fan adds to trove
The Hollywood memorabilia collector who paid $100,000 for the overlapping shirts seen at the end of “Brokeback Mountain” said Wednesday he also had purchased the postcards that were on screen with them in the closet of the character played by Heath Ledger.
“The shirts and the postcards are together again,” Tom Gregory said in a news release. “They are more than simply props. They are symbolic of a great love and a remarkable film.”
Gregory plans to display the “Brokeback” items in Hollywood Saturday at the annual awards dinner of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios Home Entertainment reported Wednesday that “Brokeback Mountain,” which won three Oscars last month, sold about 1.4 million DVDs in its first day of release this week.
