A federal judge in New York blocked Tuesday's scheduled auction of a dress worn by Judy Garland in 'The Wizard of Oz' that had been expected to fetch up to $1 million or more for The Catholic University of America
Hartke received the"Oz" dress in 1973 as a gift from Academy Award-winning actress Mercedes McCambridge while serving as head of Catholic University's drama school, which he founded. It is not known how MacCambridge obtained the costume from the classic 1939 film.
The dress had been missing for decades before it was found in a trash bag in a room at the drama school last year. Catholic University then moved to put it up for auction, generating widespread media coverage last month. The school also submitted affidavits from a grandnephew of Hartke who remembered that"my grand uncle Father Gilbert Hartke said to me that I could not have it as the dress belonged to Catholic University."
