Among the few possessions he left to his heirs was a set of Encyclopedia Britannica in storage at the Lindbergh Palace Hotel under the names Ari and Uzi Tenenbaum.
In November, art and memorabilia from the collection of Gene Hackman (1930-2025) were auctioned by Bonhams in New York and Los Angeles.
Among the items auctioned were Hackman’s Best Performance Golden Globe award (sold for $51,200), his National Society of Film Critics and Chicago Film Critics awards for Best Actor (sold for $4,608), and material including a script, notes, contracts, marketing albums, and crew jackets (sold for $8,960) for The Royal Tenenbaums.
I hope that they somehow end up in the Wes Anderson archive.
