Joe Maddalena, born into a family of antique dealers, is now the world's foremost authenticator of Hollywood memorabilia. From his first baseball card show at 12 to his first big buy, a handwritten letter of Abraham Lincoln dated January 8, 1863 regarding his issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation for $749,000, Profiles in History has become the world's leading dealer in guaranteed authentic original Hollywood memorabilia, historical autographs, letters, documents, vintage signed photographs and manuscripts. Upon graduation from Pepperdine, Joe pursued his passion to become a full-time dealer of historical documents, and opened his first office in 1985. Profiles in History has held some of the most prestigious and successful auctions of Hollywood memorabilia and owns virtually every Guinness Book record for prices of original screen-used memorabilia.  Highlights from their previous auctions include the "Cowardly Lion" costume from The Wizard of Oz ($805,000) and Steve McQueen's "Michael Delaney" racing suit from Le Mans  ($960,000.) From the recording breaking sale of the Debbie Reynolds Collection, the Marilyn Monroe "Subway" dress from The Seven Year Itch went for $5.52M, the Marilyn Monroe signature red-sequined showgirl gown from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes went for $1.44M and the Audrey Hepburn Ascot Dress from My Fair Lady went for $4.44M. He also auctioned off the screen used Captain America suit from Captain America: The First Avenger for $ 2228,000. In February 2012, Profiles in History arranged the sale of a pair of Judy Garland screen-used Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz  to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. In addition, Joe Maddalena is the star of Hollywood Treasure, which takes viewers into the fascinating world of showbiz and pop culture memorabilia.
