The Duke’s Hat Sold on ‘Antique Roadshow’ for Insane Price – My Blog

So what would a hat worn by John Wayne in one of his movies sell for today?

Antiques Roadshow provided the answer during season 15, episode 13 of the show. During the episode, a man came in with a hat, a framed photo signed by The Duke’s son Michael, and a framed cartoon drawing.
“This hat belonged to a friend of mine,” said the man. “And he furnished all the costumes for John Wayne.”

Collectibles expert Philip Weiss appraised the hat and gave it a pretty high price tag.
“The items we have here, the hat and the two framed pieces kind of tie this whole thing in together,” said Weiss. “The photo up here on this side says, ‘Bud, nice meeting you, Michael Wayne.’ So right there you have a great tie-in with Michael Wayne, John’s son. It puts you all together. Then you have a cartoon drawn here by a Walter Lantz artist Jon Voight, that says ‘I know a fella named Bud who stole a hat just like that from John Wayne.’ So again, now we’re tying the hat in, proving provenance.”

But that’s not all, Weiss also pointed out the markings inside the hat that proved it once belonged to Hollywood western superstar, John Wayne.
“To prove that it’s John Wayne’s hat when you open this up, we can see where it says ‘Wayne #1’ which shows that it was one of John Wayne’s hat from one of the movies. And furthermore, when you go to the side here you can see who made the hat. Which is made by Nudies, which is one of the foremost Hollywood costume makers of the time.”
So, what is it all worth?
“I wouldn’t hesitate to estimate the hat anywhere from $4,000-6,000,” said Weiss.
John Wayne Items Once Auctioned For a Total of $5.4 Million

In 2011, organizers hosted a two-day auction of more than 700 costumes, scripts, awards, and memorabilia from John Wayne’s estate. The auctioned items raised $5.4 million. All the items sold had been kept by Wayne’s family since his 1979 death from cancer. Additionally, part of the proceeds from the auction was donated to John Wayne Cancer Foundation. The foundation helps fund cancer research, treatment, and education.
So, what sold at the auction? The item that sold for the highest amount was Wayne’s green wool beret from The Green Berets. The beret sold for $179,250. Wayne’s Golden Globe award for True Grit was also auctioned and sold for $143,400. Additionally, organizers auctioned a cowboy hat that The Duke wore in three of his movies. The movies were Big Jake, The Cowboys, and The Train Robbers. The hat sold for $119,500. So, maybe that guy from Antiques Roadshow can hope for a little more for his John Wayne cowboy hat.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
