Scripts for Citizen Kane, Orson Welles’s camera and a cigar ashtray were among the late director’s belongings sold at a New York auction.
Sixty-seven lots fetched $180,000 at Heritage Auctions.
Margaret Barrett, Heritage’s director of entertainment-linked auctions, called the items “a piece of cinema royalty”.
Two dozen pages of scripts for the 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane went for $15,000, far surpassing the $2,000 pre-sale estimate.
