In honor of the 100th anniversary of Warner Bros., costumes, props, behind-the-scenes production material, photographs, memorabilia, artifacts, ephemera and more from the legendary films produced by the storied Hollywood studio will be offered to the public, some for the first time in history.

Royal glamour and style have captured Hollywood and the public’s imagination for centuries and will be feted in a collection from one of the world’s most iconic and beloved public figures in history, Princess Diana.

The three exquisite garments, designed by two of the Princess of Wales’s favorite designers Bruce Oldfield and Catherine Walker, include:

• a stunning scarlet red silk Bruce Oldfield gown with a draped short sleeve bodice and ruching to the waist and hips with a lamé tartan motif worn by Princess Diana while attending the film premiere of Hot Shots! at the Odeon Leicester in November of 1991 with President Arpad Goncz of Hungary and his wife Szusza;

• a slender fitting white silk crepe with bold bands of black silk velvet strapless Catherine Walker gown worn by Princess Diana to a private function;
• and a head-turning, off the shoulder black faille bodice with a décolleté neckline with a draped jade silk skirt with fringed sash and side slit Catherine Walker evening gown worn by Princess Diana to a gala dinner at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada in 1991.

Also featured is Property from the Life and Career of Dennis Hopper, from the acclaimed actor of the iconic films, Easy Rider, Blue Velvet, Rebel Without a Cause, and Apocalypse Now. Hopper works continue to entertain and inform viewers today, and the director, photographer, artist, and sculptor, and revered collector, helped launch the careers of artists such as Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha, and Roy Lichtenstein. This collection was uncovered at Hopper’s beloved El Cortez Theatre in Taos, New Mexico — a serene small town which served as his refuge from Hollywood and his final resting place. Hopper purchased the theater and converted it as his home, art studio and screening room in in the 1960s, where Hopper would find camaraderie and inspiration among a colony of next-level artistic behemoths such as Martha Graham, Bob Dylan, and Jack Nicholson, who visited him at the famed Mabel Dodge Luhan house he'd later purchase, and created a counterculture bohemia where he would complete his most experimental artistic works, including his infamous directorial feature film, The Last Movie.

• a Polaroid photograph of Hopper wearing a white shirt, brown vest, and a cowboy hat taken by and signed by Andy Warhol with the word "HELP!" written in the white margin most likely by Hopper.
• Hopper’s personally-owned Super 8 camera;
• a limited-edition copy of Ruscha’s Some Los Angeles Apartments, inscribed by the photographer and with a handwritten note by Hopper;
• his vintage portable Remington Quiet-Riter typewriter and more.
