FILE - U.S. film actor and producer Harrison Ford arrives to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Zurich Film Festival in Zurich, Switzerland, Oct. 4, 2013. LOS ANGELES — The brown felt fedora worn by actor Harrison Ford in the second installment of the Indiana Jones movies sold for $630,000 at auction, film and TV memorabilia company Propstore announced Friday.
The hat featured in 1984’s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” was expected to fetch between $250,000 and $500,000, according to the item’s online description. The fedora comes from the personal collection of the late stunt performer Dean Ferrandini, who also wore it while standing in for Ford as Jones, the dashing archaeologist who really hates snakes.
Keeping the fedora in place during filming was an “ongoing challenge,” Propstore’s expert said in the online description, and foam pieces were inserted to make it fit more snugly.
“Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” also featured Kate Capshaw as nightclub singer Willie Scott and Ke Huy Quan as Short Round.
