California Attorney General Jerry Brown, left, flanked by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, answers a question concerning the lawsuit the state has filed against the federal government to force a decision on whether the state can impose the nation's first greenhouse gas emission standards for cars and light trucks, at a Capitol news conference in this Nov. 8, 2007 file photo in Sacramento, Calif. Nearly four decades after entering California politics, Brown has reinvented himself yet again, this time as a carbon-fighting attorney general. In less than a year as California's top law enforcement official, the former governor, presidential candidate and Oakland mayor has emerged as a major player in the national debate on global warming.

CALABASAS — A cyborg skeleton from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" brought in nearly $500,000 on Friday in an auction of Hollywood memorabilia dominated by props and costumes from Arnold Schwarzenegger's shoot-em-up sci-fi franchise.

The T-800 Endoskeleton used in the 1991 film brought in $488,750, said Marc Kruskol, a spokesman for Profiles in History, which staged the auction.

An armored drone went for $109,250, and a full-body Terminator model went for $74,750. Both items were from "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."

A full-scale tyrannosaurus rex head from "Jurassic Park" was the second priciest item of the day, bringing in $126,500.

Gentle, kindly Mary Poppins could hardly compete. Julie Andrews' signature gabardine coat from the 1964 film brought in a comparatively modest $63,250.
