Voir Hollywood Treasure, Season 1 - Episode 2

At the Profiles in History archives, Joe Maddalena'’s team, Brian Chanes and Jon Mankuta, search for an unknown treasure that might be stored right under their own noses. They locate a box of costumes said to possess a priceless piece of wardrobe: what may be an original costume worn by Bella Lugosi in his second film, White Zombie. If the coat can be authenticated it will easily fetch upwards of six digits. Joe travels to the Midwest to personally visit the owner of the legendary Wicked Witch of the West’s hat from The Wizard of Oz and must convince the owner to let go of her 21-year love affair with the hat. The pressure is on for Special Events Coordinator Tracey McHall to deliver props from the personal collection of a star of 60’s television, Dawn Wells, better known as Mary Anne from Gilligan’'s Island, who shares her collection of iconic wardrobe and prop items from the series. Later at the Sony Pictures movie lot in Los Angeles, Joe gets a one-of-a-kind tour through their prestigious archives. Like a kid in a candy store, Joe peruses props from some of the most recognizable movies and television shows of all time. The head archivist rarely parts with the lot’s property... but Joe makes his best case for a not so small piece of film history.
