《绿野仙踪》百万美元红宝石鞋失窃

  A pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz" and insured for $1 million is missing from a Grand Rapids museum.

  Police Chief Leigh Serfling said the slippers were stolen late Saturday or early Sunday.

  Someone entered the museum through a window and broke into the small display case holding the slippers.

  "There's not a whole lot of evidence," Serfling said. "We're hoping that someone in the community has seen something."

  Children's Discovery Museum director John Kelsch said the slippers belong to a Los Angeles man who loaned them to the museum for several weeks this summer.

  The children's museum houses the Judy Garland museum, which displayed the same pair of slippers last year. Garland was born in Grand Rapids in 1922.

  "The slippers are a major attraction at our museum," Kelsch said in a news release Monday.

  "It is our hope that the slippers can be recovered immediately."

  Four pairs of ruby slippers worn by Garland in the movie are known to exist, including one pair on display at the Smithsonian Institution. Another pair sold at Christie's auction house in 2000 for $666,000.

《绿野仙踪》百万美元红宝石鞋失窃

  由童话故事《绿野仙踪》改编的同名电影堪称好莱坞经典影片之一 。除了女主角朱迪·加兰亲自演唱的歌曲“Over The Rainbow”深受人们的喜爱之外,她在片中穿过的红宝石舞鞋也弥足珍贵、价格昂贵。然而,其中1双红宝石舞鞋日前在美国的一家博物馆不翼而飞。

  据美联社日前报道,这双红宝石舞鞋原在美国明尼苏达州大湍流市的儿童探索博物馆进行展览。据警方透露,鞋子估计是在27日晚或28日凌晨丢失的。现场情况表明,窃贼从窗户进入博物馆,砸毁红宝石鞋展柜的小橱窗后将展品窃走。警方指出:“现成遗留的证据不多,我们希望有目击证人出现。”

  加兰于1922年出生在大湍流市,当地为她专门建立的博物馆就设在儿童探索博物馆内。据儿童探索博物馆馆长介绍,这双红宝石鞋的主人是洛杉矶的一名男子。今年夏天,该男子将鞋租借给博物馆进行为期数周的展览,并为它买下高达100万美元的保险金。

  儿童探索博物馆馆长说:“这双鞋是我们馆里最具有吸引力的展品之一,我们希望能将它尽快找回。”

  报道说,加兰在《绿野仙踪》中共穿过4双红宝石鞋,其中一双目前正在美国史密森尼亚研究院展出。2000年,另一双红宝石舞鞋在英国克里斯蒂拍卖行以66.6万美元的价格卖出。(文/蒋黎黎)
