Auctioning "Succeed"

Daniel Radcliffe is winning applause for his Broadway musical debut as J. Pierrepont Finch in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," but he's already added another role to his resume: auctioneer. After Saturday night's rousing curtain call, Radcliffe put his business skills to work on the audience, seeking donations to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. To raise money, the "Harry Potter" star auctioned off an autographed copy of the "How to Succeed" book that he uses in the show. A bidding war broke out, which Radcliffe ended by offering two audience members each a book at $4,500 apiece. Radcliffe uses an American accent in the show, but during the auction he reverted to his English accent. His "How to Succeed" co-star John Larroquette joked, "You’re British? It's OK; I'm married to one!"
