NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle's popular Stage & Screen auction March 18, 2026 attracted collectors around the world with an exciting and extensive diversity of memorabilia, props, autographs and photographs celebrating the performing arts of Theater, Hollywood, Music and Dance.

'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' Material from the Alan Schneider Collection
Following the success of the Samuel Beckett collection sold last, Doyle was honored to offer material from the collection of Alan Schneider (1917-1984), who directed the premiere of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in October 1962. Highlighting the collection were the director's annotated script for Virginia Woolf? that achieved $21,760, surpassing its $10,000-15,000 estimate, and Schneider's 1963 Best Director Tony Award for Virginia Woolf? that realized $7,680.

'Gone with the Wind' Material Relating to Jack Cosgrove and David O. Selznick
Long before the digital era, special effects pioneer Jack Cosgrove created the epic vistas of Gone with the Wind that still shape Hollywood’s visual memory. Featured in the sale were fascinating lots that highlight Cosgrove’s career and his collaboration with producer David O. Selznick. A rare David O. Selznick presentation screenplay of Gone with the Wind inscribed to Jack Cosgrove sold for $11,520 and a screen-used Empire console from the scene in Gone with the Wind when Scarlett O'Hara rips down the green velvet draperies, which achieved $14,080, surpassing its estimate.
