Published February 23rd, 2006
Two shirts seen in the hit movie Brokeback Mountain have been auctioned for more than €83,000.
A gay activist was the winning bidder in an online auction for the two used plaid shirts worn by the star-crossed lovers, played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, in this year’s Oscar front-runner.
The sale by the film’s distributor, Focus Features, on auction website eBay, raised nearly €85,000 for Variety, the Children’s Charity of Southern California.
Tom Gregory, 45, logged his winning bid just 28 seconds before the 10-day auction came to a close on Monday.
