Academy of Film managed to buy out a pair of 'ruby' Dorothy's shoes from the classic Hollywood movie The Wizard of Oz.

As reported on the official website, this was made possible thanks to a large donation made by Leonardo DiCaprio. Steven Spielberg also allocated funds for the purchase of the rarity.

A total of four pairs of such shoes were made for the movieing of the movie. It is believed that this particular pair was on the close-ups of actress Judy Garland, for example, in those scenes where her character knocked her heels to return home. The rarity purchased from the Profiles in History auction is described as perfect.

"Thanks to Leo's active involvement, the legendary piece of movie history is returning home.
