Still, as Oscar season approaches, they deserve their due. Some made history with Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin. Some were themselves Academy Award-winners.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>True, most have spent the past several years in a vault in the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. But the 250 or so historic movie costumes\u2014owned, improbably, by Los Angeles County\u2014represent one of the most well preserved aggregations of stardom in Hollywood.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe bulk of people don\u2019t know about it, but it\u2019s a very important collection,\u201d says Glenn Brown, archivist at the MGM Corporate Archives. \u201cIts pieces are from some of the earliest days of film, things from the \u201820s and \u201930s, donated by the stars themselves. Things you hardly ever find anywhere.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Chaplin\u2019s \u201cTramp\u201d costume is there. So are Fred Astaire\u2019s tap shoes, Charlton Heston\u2019s \u201cBen Hur\u201d tunic and the green-sprigged dress (battered but unbowed) that Scarlett O\u2019Hara wore in \u201cGone With The Wind\u201d at the barbecue at Twelve Oaks. There\u2019s also the pink Howard Greer ball gown that Pickford wore in her first talkie, \u201cCoquette.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Natural History Museum has amassed not only many of the most important costumes from the earliest days of the movies, but also a trove of historic film props and other movie mementos, from Lon Chaney\u2019s makeup kit to preserved locks of Pickford\u2019s golden hair, lopped off when she famously bobbed it. Back in the day, such items were considered so insignificant that studios routinely burned, tossed or reused them.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Per the article, little from the collection is currently on display as a result of their &#8220;ongoing rebuilding and transformation project&#8221;, though they anticipate opening a new California history hall at the close of 2012, which will feature more of this material on display for the public.<\/p>\n<p>However, the museum does loan pieces to other exhibitions, the next being a &#8220;ChaplinFest&#8221; at William S. Hart Park in Santa Clarita, which will feature costumes from Charlie Chaplin&#8217;s movies.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about ChaplinFest at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scvchaplinfest.org\/\"
