A Month of Hollywood Legends: Five Auctions Bringing the Silver Screen to Life This June
Bid on nearly 1,500 Hollywood artifacts across five June 2026 auctions from Julien's Auctions & TCM — Ann-Margret, "Jaws" props, Steve McQueen motorcycles, and more.
This summer, Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) are turning June into another spectacular month in Hollywood memorabilia history. Across five landmark auctions — nearly 1,500 lots in total — icons of the golden age rub shoulders with blockbuster relics, personal wardrobes of music and film royalty, and jaw-dropping production artifacts that have never left the studio vaults. A seasoned collector or a lifelong movie fan, this is the month to pay attention.
"Julien's and TCM's A Month of Hollywood Legends arrives at an incredible moment in Hollywood history," said Catherine Williamson, Managing Director of Entertainment at Julien's Auctions. "One would be hard-pressed to find a more glamorous and jaw-dropping collection this season."
Below, a breakdown of every auction — zero in on what moves you.
100 Years of Marilyn
Kicking off A Month of Hollywood Legends is the previously announced centennial celebration of cinema's most enduring icon. One hundred years after her birth, Marilyn Monroe's presence is as luminous as ever — and this curated sale honors her legacy with extraordinary artifacts that span the full arc of her incomparable life and career.
The Peninsula Beverly Hills provides a suitably opulent backdrop for a day of Hollywood royalty.
