- Nov 11, 2007It was a celebrity circus Saturday for Dream Halloween's "Under the Big Top" party at Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar.The benefit for the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation lured stars such as Marlee Matlin, Doris Roberts and Jason Priestley.Holiday-appropriate supporter Elvira (aka Cassandra Peterson) wasn't thinking only of the foundation. She told USA TODAY that she had a devilish plan as well: "Generally on Halloween, I'm out raising money for my other favourite charity: Me!"
Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher, the event's chairwoman, auctioned off a one-of-a-kind Barbie modelled in her likeness and wearing the same Badgley Mischka gown in miniature.
The doll went to a Housewives fan for $20,000, while Hatcher's gown (along with a dinner date) sold for $25,000.
Hatcher was the high bidder on a $3,000 necklace, but her daughter, Emerson, 9, was disappointed that they were outbid on the Hatcher-styled Barbie.
