PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) - Actress Debbie Reynolds will open the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum in this Great Smoky Mountains resort community to display her extensive collection of movie memorabilia, the film star announced Tuesday.

"The Hollywood I remember from my early years in the business - the real 'Golden Era' - is now gone," said Reynolds, who began her film career in 1948. "What is left of it in this collection should be preserved and protected for future generations."

Valued at more than $50 million, the collection contains more than 3,500 costumes and tens of thousands of props, movie posters, still photos, lobby cards and other items, she said.

The sleeveless white dress blown upward as Marilyn Monroe stood on a subway grate in "The Seven Year Itch" is included, as are the ruby red slippers Judy Garland wore in "The Wizard of Oz."

The collection has items from almost every Academy Award-winning film, from the silent movie era through the present, Reynolds said.
