The family of Bela Lugosi has given the cape worn in the 1931
Dracula to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The actor retained ownership of the cape and used it in personal appearances.
Meanwhile the Museum has announced purchases of a number of other well-known costumes, including Gene Kelly's sweater and slacks from
An American in Paris (1951); Jack Nicholson's crimson jacket from
The Shining (1980); Susan Sarandon's waitress uniform from
Thelma and Louise (1991); and Jeff Bridges' robe and shorts from
The Big Lebowski (1998).
