    Kent Phillip Warner
    (March 8, 1943 – April 25, 1984, age: 41 years) was a costume designer, best known for acquiring the ruby slippers from the film
    The Wizard of Oz
    prior to the 1970 MGM Auction. He is known to have found four pairs used in the film, (of five pairs that have surfaced). One pair he sold to memorabilia collector Michael Shaw in 1970 for ,500. These ruby slippers were later stolen from the JG Museum near Garland's birthplace in Minnesoata. sometime between August 27–28, 2005. Speculation persists that it was an inside job as the alarms did not sound. They have been recovered
    since.
    Of the several pairs of ruby slippers Warner found on the MGM backlot while assisting to set up the wardrobe auction of May 1970, one pair became a centrepiece of the auction. He later sold all but one of the other pairs, keeping for himself the size 5B pair, believed to have been worn by JG for static and closeup shots, which were in the best condition of the known pairs. He later sold them through Christie's East in 1981 for ,000.
