Indiana Jones' whip, the Rosebud sled and Culkin's Home Alone cap up for auction

The Summer Entertainment Auction, being held July 15-19 by Heritage Auctions, also includes sci-fi gems from the Star Wars galaxy like a filming miniature of Luke Skywalker's X-wing starfighter used in The Empire Strikes Back, and the lightsabers brandished by Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker in Revenge Of The Sith.
The Rosebud sled from the title character's childhood sits at the centre of Orson Welles' 1941 Citizen Kane.

It is the last word tycoon Charles Foster Kane speaks before his death at the opening of the film that is regarded by many critics groups as the greatest ever made.
Long thought lost, the sled is one of three of the prop known to have survived.
It is owned by Gremlins director Joe Dante, who stumbled on it when he was filming on the former RKO Pictures lot in 1984.
Dante was not a collector, but knew the value of the sled and quietly preserved it for decades, putting it as an Easter egg into four of his own films.

Ford gave the Indiana Jones whip going up for auction to then-Prince Charles at the 1989 UK premiere of The Last Crusade. It was given as a gift to Diana, Princess of Wales – who gave it to the current owner.
'These aren't just props. They're mythic objects,' Joe Maddalena, Heritage's executive vice president, said in a statement.
'They tell the story of Hollywood's greatest moments, one piece at a time.'
Also going up for sale are a blue velvet suit that Mike Myers wore as Austin Powers in Goldmember, and a Citroen 2CV driven by Roger Moore as James Bond in For Your Eyes Only, one of the films Myers was parodying.
The auction also includes essential artefacts from the collection of director Cecil B DeMille, including a promotional pair of the titular tablets from DeMille's The Ten Commandments, which the director had cut from stone from Mount Sinai.

I'd have won Ballon d'Or but football slipped through my fingers – I didn't want to earn so much while not performing

D'OR SLAMMED SHUT I'd have won Ballon d'Or but football slipped through my fingers – I didn't want to earn so much while not performing FORMER Brazil star Adriano has opened up over his startling fall from grace, admitting he could have won the Ballon d'Or if not for his hasty decline as a footballer.

Adriano, whose son plays in Portugal, also achieved stardom with Brazil's national team by forming an incredible attack alongside Ronaldinho, Kaka and Ronaldo Nazario. But following the 2006 World Cup, Adriano's form quickly declined and he began suffering numerous fitness problems due to his partying lifestyle. Adriano later admitted that the death of his father in 2004 saw him enter a cycle of depression and alcohol abuse.

Adriano, who retired in 2016, has since described himself as 'football's biggest waste.' And now, the icon believes he would have 'won the Ballon d'Or with the mind I had today.' He told Amazon Prime Video: 'I wasn't in a good place mentally. After my father died, football slipped through my fingers. Advertisement 'I went out to avoid thinking and the next day I was worse. I didn't do what I did because I wanted to party or let loose; I did it because I had a heavy heart.'

Photos of last season at Athens' Odeon of Herod Atticus theater before it closes for restoration

The Greek National Opera opened this season's festival with Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot as Athens' ancient theater hosts its final festival season before it shuts down for at least three years for restoration and maintenance. The Odeon of Herod Atticus, a must-see at the foot of the Acropolis, recently opened the 70th season of the annual Athens Epidaurus Festival, a cherished annual tradition for many Greeks. The closure of the theater, which is more than 18 centuries old, will be a profound loss for spectators who have long enjoyed first-class performances under the stars in one of the world's most iconic open-air theaters.
