(AP) — A silver oyster plate used by Marilyn Monroe during filming of The Misfits sold at auction for $1,000. Robert W. Otto, president and CEO of a Chicago human resources consulting company, made the highest bid for the plate from the former Mapes Hotel in Reno, where Monroe stayed in 1960 during shooting. The plate was among more than 600 items auctioned off Saturday at Lightning Auctions. "I flew in from Chicago just to bid on the oyster plate and I had no intent to lose," Otto said. "I had its worth pegged at $5,000 and I was prepared to go that high." The 55-year-old Otto owns about 500 pieces of Monroe memorabilia, including a ring with an "MM" monogram on the inside once worn by Monroe and the first dress she wore to studio interviews at age 18. Filmed almost exclusively in the Reno area from July to November 1960, The Misfits was the only movie Monroe and Clark Gable appeared in together and the last complete film for both. Many of the items auction! off belonged to the lateCla-j Mapes Jr., who built theta' town Reno hotel, which*: demolished in 2000. ;; Jackass surpasses bo office expectations LOS ANGELES (AP) - ^ Knoxville is thrilled his cioc prank movie Jackass debute- No. 1 at the box office.
