A sale of more than 1,600 items belonging to beloved actress Betty White brought in more than $4 million over the weekend, surpassing auctioneers’ expectations.
Julien’s Auctions, the Beverly Hills, Calif.-based auction house that organized the estate sale, anticipated it would garner between $400,000 to $600,000, based on conservative estimates. But some items—including Ms. White’s “The Golden Girls” director’s chair and some of her signed teleplays from the hit NBC sitcom—went for tens of thousands of dollars more than their original estimates.
