Bunny Lebowski's (Tara Reid) screen-matched ransom letter with a production-made source letter from Joel and Ethan Coen's mystery comedy The Big Lebowski. Folds and markings on the photocopied letter screen-match to the scene when The Big Lebowski (David Huddleston) showed the ransom letter a group of Nihilists sent for his disappeared wife to The Dude (Jeff Bridges).

This lot consists of a black-and-white photocopied ransom letter as well as the hand-made source letter that production put together to create the photocopy from. The source letter is taped with multicolor paper cutouts reading "We Have Bunnie. Gather one million dollars in unmarked non-consecutive twenties! Await instructions. No stuff." Some cutouts have flaked off of the source letter from age, such as the word "funny," and the copy exhibits edge wear and liquid staining. Dimensions: (each) 8.5" x 11" (21.75 cm x 28 cm)

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
