Gustavo Egusquiza knew as soon as he opened the auction catalogue. “I saw them, and I knew I wanted them,” he says of Diane Keaton’s nail clippers. “It was something that she would have used every day, so it was a tiny piece of Diane’s life. It is objects like this that reveal the intimate parts of a person’s real life.”

Egusquiza, a travel journalist and consultant from Bilbao, Spain, admits to being a little celebrity obsessed and is building up a collection of memorabilia that includes Whoopi Goldberg’s teapot and statuette from Larry King’s office.
