Wax figures of all four Beatles brought in nearly $13,000 at the first auction in the 44-year history of the Hollywood Wax Museum.
"The Last Supper" -- wax representations of Jesus and the 12 disciples -- commanded more than $15,000 in the weekend auction that sold close to a half million dollars worth of statues, costumes and other memorabilia.
Fans also bid on Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman from "Batman Returns," Charlton Heston's Moses from "The Ten Commandments" and figures from the cast of "M...A...S...H."
The auction was administered by Profiles in History and a portion of the profits will support efforts to preserve Hollywood's historic Walk of Fame.

Jesus and the disciples drew a bigger bid? John Lennon, may he rest in peace, but so much for his comment about who's more popular.
Why do they need to "preserve" the walk of fame? People put in enough money in each star to add their favorite entertainers to it, and people do need a sidewalk...I must be missing something, because you'd think the wax museum would see those rare works of art for public viewing as something more in need of preservation. Hm.
