Streisand’s Knickers Up For Grabs

Didn’t get it together to buy your loved one a really special Christmas present? Got a court order keeping you away from your neighbours’ washing line? Or you just want to give someone the shock of their lives? How about buying a pair of celebrity pants? The bloomers in question are green, made out of silk and were worn by Barbara Streisand in the 1968 musical Funny Girl which she co-starred with Omar Sharif. Anyone wanting to get to grips with pre-worn film stars’ pants can place a bid at Interactive Collector’s latest online auction. The dress she wore (a tasteful little number in green and purple striped velvet) is also under the virtual hammer as well as a whole host of other movie memorabilia. Avid collectors with less hunger for kitch will also find there's Faye Dunaway's 1940 style suit from Mommy Dearest, Peter Ustinov's suit from Death on the Nile, Susan Sarandon's pink silk dress worn in The Other Side of Midnight,Ava Gardner's costume robes and Chita Rivera's black chiffon Tango dress, worn in the stage production of Kiss of the Spiderwoman.
