Natalie Wood’s screen-worn jacket from her role as Maggie Dubois in the 1965 award-winning Warner Bros. comedy The Great Race. The bright red military-style jacket features ornate yellow braided trim and brass fasteners. A Warner Bros. Pictures costume label is sewn inside the armpit area of the right sleeve, reading: “Natalie Wood, Dbl., 5-Uniform Coat.” In fine condition, with general expected wear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the 2003 sale of material from the collection of Debbie Reynolds and a framed vintage still of Wood wearing the jacket. This handsome jacket was created by renowned costume designers Donfeld and Edith Head as one of the nineteen wardrobe changes for Wood’s character during the film. In his review of The Great Race, noted critic Leonard Maltin wrote that Wood ‘never looked better,’ a sentiment shared by her sister, Lana Wood. A wonderful, attractive piece of cinematic history.
