LA-based bidders can score a one-hour dog-walking session with Scott, while real-life best pals Odenkirk and David Cross will join you for dinner in either New York or LA.
Akin to Dunham’s mural offering, Lithgow and Philips are also going the artistic route. Lithgow will paint a watercolor portrait of one bidder’s pet; Philips will join you in for a pottery class in New York City. New Yorkers can also bid on lunch with Emmy-winning actress Ann Dowd of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
There are several virtual experiences as well. You can also video chat with the cast of “Manifest,” “Bones” or “New Girl,” or for a private zoom with either Maggie Gyllenhaal or Silverman, where you can ask them 20 questions.
The auction also includes collectible items, including an apron signed by “The Bear” cast members Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri and others; a fedora owned and signed by legendary musician and actor Tom Waits; a signed “Stranger Things” poster; keepsakes from Parker Posey’s personal collection of “Dazed and Confused” memorabilia; and a DC Harley Quinn poster signed by Kaley Cuoco.
The Union Solidarity Coalition was founded by Hollywood writers and directors in May when the WGA’s strike began, in an effort to help crew members who’ve lost their health care amid the ongoing shutdown. Proceeds from the Coalition’s auction will benefit those crew members.
The auction is currently open and will close on Friday, September 22.
