I just Googled Margaret Hamilton, the WWW, and Karen, you are right! She was a kindergarten teacher, and loved kids. She even appeared on Mr. Rogers.

The first time Marjie and I watched the W of Oz, we sat rapt, all the way through, and then when it was over we both burst into tears. Do you remember that, Marj?

Marjie said...

Why did we cry? Did we cry because it was over or because we were scared or because we were hungry?

Karen, you got many of them right. I just got home and it's midnight, so will post the answers tomorrow.

Others: which of her answers are incorrect?

Mungo said...

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" was almost cut... they thought it slowed down the pace of the movie too much.

Mungo said...

And, by the way, the actor who originally played the tin man but got sick from the makeup was Buddy Ebsen...

Marjie said...

Karyn and Mungo, knew I could count on you theater people...

Angie, maybe I cried because somehow I knew that I would be spending hours on the story in my future life?

The only two left to go are what the horses were covered with and what the Tin Man was covered with.

As far as what Toto was paid: $125per week. The munchkins: $50 per week.

Marjie said...

Ok, no more guesses I guess.

The horses were covered with green jello crystals and the Tin Man's oil was chocolate sauce.

Mungo said...

I knew that.

Brian Bowker said...

Now I feel really bad for buddy Ebsen - Not only did he get sick but he also missed out on all the chocolate sauce. Is there some kind of charity fund for him or something?
