A reality TV star recently spent a couple of nights living like Ralphie in the house used for the movie "A Christmas Story."
Billy Jeffrey, a Lewiston, Idaho, businessman and reality TV star spent two nights this week living in the Tremont house used for exterior shots in the 1983 movie. The Christmas cult classic film stars Peter Billingsley as Ralphie Parker, a young boy determined to get a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas.
The experience is a "major award" for Jeffrey, who says he's obsessed with the 1983 film. He bid $4,200 in an online charity auction to benefit the Cleveland Scholarship Programs, which promotes educational awareness.
Jeffrey, his sister Rachel Pierce and brother-in-law Sennett Pierce shot BB guns in the back yard, set a leg lamp in the window and crawled under the sink just like the kids in the movie. Jeffrey even braved a taste of Lifebouy soap. How was it? Absolutely awful, Jeffrey reported.
About 50 bidders entered the auction, said A Christmas Story House executive director Steve Siedlecki. The house is located at 3159 West 11th St. in Cleveland, Ohio and is open year round to the public for tours.
