Striped knit polyester short‑sleeve dress worn by Marilyn Eastman as Helen Cooper in Night of the Living Dead (1968). The dress has a zip‑back closure; the stitching and stripe pattern along both shoulder seams and the collar screen‑match the film. The lot is stated to have originated from Eastman’s personal collection. Eastman co‑founded Hardman/Eastman, Inc., partnered in Image Ten (producer of Night of the Living Dead) and contributed on‑screen and behind the scenes (script editing, makeup, props).
