His ashes were not found. They are believed to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. A gentleman in an overcoat with an upturned collar muttering death threats against Jerome Robbins under his breath and bearing a striking resemblance to the late Mr. Laurents was the last person seen with them.
I really, really wanted that Theoni Aldredge Cage Aux Folles costume sketch.

OK, I bought two things at this auction today. One was Lot 180, a Mahogony shaving mirror. I got it for a song. If anyone ever had a tryst with Mr. Laurents and can verify where this was in his house, I'd love the story.
Second, I bought an old Smith Carona typewriter (Lot 561) that used to belong to Mary Hemmingway. Laurents acquired it in 1986 when she died. I don't know if he bought it at auction or if they knew each other.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I bought Lot 666, a box holding the souls of chorus boys who traded them for parts in his shows.
Who got the toy that was inside Matt Cavanaugh?
I did but I can't figure out how to shut it off.
