Actress Debbie Reynolds will auction off 300 movie costumes and props to raise money for a permanent museum for the rest of her Hollywood collection.

Reynolds, 71, who starred in the 1952 musical "Singin' in the Rain," said Friday she hopes to raise at least $2 million at the Dec. 6 auction to establish the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum.

Reynolds said she bought most of her collection in 1970 at an MGM Studio auction and has been passionate about preserving Hollywood memorabilia ever since.
