The auction of the late Betty White's personal property, estimated to be worth around $2 million, is set to take place this weekend at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills. The collection includes a wide range of items, such as jewelry, gowns, home furnishings, artwork, awards, scripts, and other memorabilia from White's homes in Brentwood and Carmel.

Fans of the iconic show "Golden Girls" will have the opportunity to bid on Betty's original director chair and the series finale scripts signed by her and the other cast members. For fans of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," there is a framed picture of the entire cast with a plaque engraved with Betty's name, along with a handwritten note from Mary Tyler Moore and Grant Tinker.

The auction will also feature some of White's most prestigious awards, including her Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement award, her 1994 Television Academy Hall of Fame award, and her 2015 People's Choice Award for "Favorite Icon." There are also personal items from her 18-year marriage to third husband Allen Lunden, such as their gold leaf design wedding bands.

Among the many gowns up for auction are Betty's black-and-gold Mignon dress, worn to the Emmy Awards in 1989, and her taupe lace-and-satin dress, worn to the Emmy Awards in 1990.

The auction even includes White's own baby grand piano, which she famously mimed playing as her character Rose Nylund on "Golden Girls."

Prior to the auction, fans in Los Angeles can view the entire exhibition for free at Julien's Auctions Beverly Hills. While this auction offers an opportunity to own a piece of Betty White's legacy, some of her belongings have also been sent to the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY, including five of her eight Emmy awards, a Rose Nylund sweater, and an Elka Ostrovsky tracksuit from "Hot in Cleveland."

Betty White, a passionate animal advocate, passed away at the age of 99 from a stroke. In honor of her 100th heavenly birthday, the #BettyWhiteChallenge raised $12.7 million for local animal shelters and organizations. Throughout her prolific career, she played memorable roles in shows like "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Golden Girls," and "Hot in Cleveland." While her acting career came to an end, White's legacy lives on as an entertainment legend.
