A couple years before Jerry Marron died I wrote to him for an autograph request and sent a 5x7 of him from the film and $10 with a self-addressed stamped envelope. A couple weeks later I got it back and it was autographed and just a couple years later he passed away.

My great Aunt is Billie Burke "The Good Witch". My sister looks exactly like her beautiful & sweet just like her. As a child she dressed up as The Good Witch & everyone said how much she was just like her. We told them it's bc she is related to her so.. I'm proud of Billie Burke she did an amazing job acting & looking stunning at 54 years of age while filming, I couldn't believe that when I read it. She will be forever remembered in the film. 👠👑🎩🕊🌹

Buddy Ebsen was the Tin Man who got sick from the silver makeup. And he played Uncle Jed Clampet on the Beverly Hillbillies. Side note; there used to be a miniature metal mechanical / early animatronic Mach-up of him dancing in the Walt Disney Story that was at WDW on Main Street. You would have enjoyed that. I think I read where that attraction had been moved to Tokyo Disneyland. Sorry I missed the watch party, Saturday. Thank you for the videos and Happy Halloween 🎃

Judy had one of the saddest stories and there were so many people who loved her, who will always remember her. She gave so many of us beautiful childhood memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Judy

Ive LOVED the Wizard of Oz since I was about 10 years old. The movie is a classic and will never age. The cast will live on forever in this beautifully done film for generations, my kids love it just as much as me.

Still after watching Wizard of Oz for over 50 years the end when Dorothy tells Scarecrow she’ll miss him most of all with the violin playing no place like home softly it gets me teary eyed , thanks again

Hollywood has history and full of dark history that everyone forgets and doesn't want to mention but Grimm is the greatest to shine a light on that. One love, guys

they destroyed judy garland. from her parents to MGM to just everyone. She had no chance. R.I.P. Go read the story She was Doomed from the beginning and no one paid for anything they did to her

I'm 71--and the WIZARD OF OZ has always been my favorite movie. Thanks for your video--and for the respect you showed for the actors and the movie itself. Rick

I learned something new because I didn't realize that the actors who played Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were in the Great Mausoleum. Michael Jackson is in the Great Mausoleum and he was in the The Wiz. What a coincidence. I love this movie so much. I appreciate you making this video.

Ahh those joint custody memories. I have a few every other weekend memories of my own.

I first fell in love with special effects when I saw the Wizard of OZ at four years old and the Winkie staff blade was the inspiration that started my wicked art style, thank you L Frank Baum for changing my life and so many others.

I can't believe you haven't seen One of the Great Movies of all time. "Gone WIth the Wind" WOW Talk about a Classic.

My all time favorite movie. I always loved the fact Judy I were born on June 10. I also named my children Emily and Henry after the movie. Absolutely love your channel.

Just rewatched this movie with my kids, my youngest first time. One of my favorite movies!

Buddy Ebsen ( Jed Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies) was the Tin Man, but nearly died as a result of the silver paint. The role then went to Jack Haley. Great tour...as always.❤️

Wizard is my favourite film of all time and can't remember how many times I've watched it. Judy had an amazing voice and such a tragic life. Buddy Ebsen was the actor who was the original Tin man. Have a great 2022.

Wizard of Oz is my all-time favorite movie - Never get tired of watching it. Thank you so much for doing these videos... Maybe do one for Gone with the Wind

I'm glad you're familiar with the sequel Return To OZ. I love the original Wizard of OZ, but Return to OZ is my favorite. I first saw it on TV when I was little. I like how it has a much darker tone to it. Plus the Wheelers creeped me out. And you have Princess Mombi with her interchangeable heads, which was creepy as well. I recently got Return to OZ on DVD as a Christmas gift.

Thank you, Michael and Jessica for taking us to the sites of the actors of one of my favorite films! Keep up the great work, Happy Halloween! Edit-Holy smokes, just realized that the Baums are at the same site of one of my favorite musicians, Michael Jackson. Dang. RIP to all the great people who have entertained us.

You HAVE to see Gone With the Wind!! There’s also soooo much history made when making this moving. It would be a great video for u to make! Research Hattie McDaniel and the Academy awards ceremony. She accepted the award in a no blacks hotel. And read about how Clark Gable threatened to boycott the movie premiere so that McDaniel could attend. It’s a great movie for reflection and history of behind the scenes.

Thank you for the time, respect, and care you put into this video.

Thank-you for this I am 55 years old now and loved watching this movie As a child and love it still Rest in peace to all the actors who gave us this wonderful movie to enjoy throughout the rest of our lives❤

I watch this movie every time it comes on. If I remember correctly this was the first movie that I ever watch

I'm eternally thankful I was presented THE WIZARD OF OZ in 1983 I was 3 years old and immediately fell in love with the movie. It's so relaxing to watch on a rainy day. Lights dimmed. Awesome video Grimm 👍 Hello from Guadalajara Mexico 🇲🇽

Thanks you guys for doing this. Some people will never be able to see some of these things and places in person! Like me lol I appreciate you guys very much!! 💜

This movie is my childhood as well like many of us here and has a special place in our hearts. Thank you for this, brings back a lot of good memories.

Truly a classic film for all ages, for all the world, and should be mandatory viewing for all film makers... I loved your memorial GLA episode of this historic landmark film-- keep up the great work, Grimms.... :^)"""""""

Normally on Christmas period tv transmit the movie! Merry Christmas and happy holidays guys! ❄️🎄🎅🏼☃️

So wonderfully done. I lived in Southern California as a kid way before you were born, (and we met Lucy and Desi as well as Jay North who played Dennis the Menace at that time) and never got back there until a couple of years ago. I went to Westwood to see Marilyn and everyone else and made it to Hollywood Forever and saw Judy. I had an extremely abused childhood and young life and the old movies, especially the old black and whites, were my escape and those people became like God's to me. I was really touched by what you just said about this is what you and Jessica live for, because I am the same way, except I didn't follow my heart and move to Los Angeles years ago like I should have. After not having been there for so many years, when I went a couple of years ago I thought maybe I would be disappointed. Nope. On the contrary, it immediately felt like home to me ( there's no place like home...👠👠) and I get an energy and a spiritual feeling there that I get nowhere else. I've lived in South Florida now for over 30 years and while it's not terrible, I really wish I was in Los Angeles, with its problems and all. But I'm 66 now on a limited retirement and could never afford it. But it remains where my heart is and I was never happier than I was when I visited a couple of years ago. I'm happy you guys are able to live your dream.

Fantastic video, as always. One of my guilty pleasures from childhood is Grease 2. It wasnt until a few years ago that I found out Lorna Luft, who plays Pink Lady "Paulette", was Judy Garland's daughter. Talented family!

I had a cairn terrier as a child, from age 4-12, and I loved that I had my very own Toto lookalike!

I never knew that the film was so old

Wow. Incredible. I’ve always regarded The Wizard of Oz as the greatest horror movie of all time. I say that based on the fact that the first time I ever became aware of my own mortality was when I was a small child and saw the hour glass that was presented to Dorothy by the witch. I began to cry hysterically and when my mother asked me what was wrong I could not articulate that at that moment I realized one day I would die. Years later in my early twenties I began to dabble in the occult and when I just happened to watch it again the Wizard behind the curtain who was nothing but an old man took on a very deep meaning in that moment of my life and I immediately abandoned my practices. The message was clear. I regard this movie personally as the most Magickal, greatest films of my life. All Hail Dorothy!!!

I’ve always been curious about the resting places for celebs of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Many unique people like you have traveled the country to find these celebrities’ final resting place, so Wizard of Oz cast members and writers forever left their mark in a timeless film. Thanks for showing this. It influenced me to travel to these places to learn more of what made them so significant in film history.

My husbands grandmother is buried at Holy Cross and her funeral was in that mausoleum that the scarecrow is in ❤️ I never knew that at the time I wish I would have so I could have looked for him! So cool! I’m a new viewer from Ohio and have been watching your videos for the past two nights ☺️ keep them coming!

That was buddy ebsen. Who was supposed to play the tin man. The metal made him sick.

RIP All actors and actresses from The Wizard of Oz.

Probably watched this movie 5 times over the last week been watching since a kid in the 60s it never gets old , it’s funny though it wasn’t until recently that I noticed Toto had a little bed that looks like a covered wagon with his name across the front it’s really noticeable when Dorothy gets bonked in the head by the window in her room during the twister , thanks again hope you two are having a wonderful Christmas holiday season

Bela Lugosi deserves a Dracula statue. Make it happen Hollywood.

You are so great at what you do! Thanks for the awesome videos!! Oh, and the first tin man was Buddy Ebsen who played Jed Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies.

The 2nd actor to play the Tin Man was Buddy Ebsen, who also played Jed Clampett in the Beverly Hillbillies.

I'm not gonna lie, The Toto memorial broke my heart. I'm very sad to hear Totos final resting place was destroyed.

Wow the production value on this video was top tier. Very impressive. The music, the innovative camera angles, the mood, haunting music, creeping camera and overall aesthetic was seamlessly interwoven and perfectly complimented one another. You guys have grown so much. Keep it up. Love you both. PS: I would love to know the music that was used as the recurring theme played throughout the video.

You should do an episode on the locations of the classic Spielberg movie from 71 "Duel"

Jerry lived a long life! 🌈🍭 Judy Garland so young, so sad, with the overdoses ...I don’t know how I missed this video, I love that you guys love what you do. Thank you for doing this for us! As usual! HAPPY HALLOWEEN from Orlando on a Friday night, I’m binging your videos I’ve missed!🎃🎃

Thanks to L. Frank Baum and all who were casted as the Wizard of OZ characters made a movie that will last a lifetime. If the actors & actresses were still around today, I would say "Thank you to making memories for all generations to see. Great video, I love anything evolving the Wizard of OZ.

My fav film i watch this film every week since age 6 ..im 49 now and never get bored with the wizard of Oz im gunna count up how Many Times i seen IT i watch IT on boxing day easter and every week too xx thanks for this i might have to visit here for vaction xx

this was my favorite video of yours by far!.. ive been a big fan or " ozmapolitan" for life.. first color movie i think... jerry maren lives to almost 100 and poor judy garland dies young at 47....good job sir and i for one appreciate this 🤟🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You are so good at what you do.You should have your own show on tv.I'm glad to have discovered you,such professionalism! Thank you for all your hard work and I loved The Wizard of Oz.!!

Why would you miss out on Gone With the Wind? It’s a classic yes it’s a bit long but you could watch it in multiple sittings. I love it.

The architecture and the statues of these graveyards are so beautiful and the edited music makes it so ethereal I don’t think I’d ever leave

I just saw it to show it to my daughter that is 17 and she was blown away by the special effects in the movie especially for the time, ofcourse it's been masterized but still it's a work of art👌🤩

Without this video, I would have never have been able to visit all those places. Thank you so much.

The Awesomeness that Is Grimmlife Collective Continues! ✊😎👊🍁♈🍁

I loved the “Cowardly Lion” , he was so funny when they were outside the Wizard’s castle, he put a broken flower pot on his head, put the red carpet on him and he sang “and if I.. were king … of the forrreest !” The quiver in his voice kills me every time 😂😂😂

It is so sad that this movie was what would eventually take judy garlands life during this movie is where she was put on to all kinds of drugs what a shame she was so loved and is missed every day and was so talented

Good way to start this day! 😎🤘

Your background music gives me a “Flowers in the Attic” type of creepy vibe. I love it!

Popcorn on the stove is the BEST. I saw Fiddler On The Roof at the theater with my father. I think of him when I watch it.

Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing with us all! The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies all time!! It is such a timeless classic.

What a wonderful video (as usual) but this one was so heartfelt, it was quite a emotional one & the hauntingly beautiful music just added to it all! Thank you my dear friend!!! 🤗 (as others have noted, Buddy Ebsen was supposed to be the Tin Man but was allergic to the makeup)

Wizard of Oz is my. favorite. As a child I would have dreams of living in oz. Thank You💗

What a great memory with your dad and sis ... cherish

A couple of facts for both people is that my other favorite movie with Judy Garland is Meet Me In St. Louis. This fact is also important for them to know and that fact that the actress who played Dorothy Gale wasn't named Judy Garland. Instead her real name was Francis Gumm. It's on the DVD of the movie if you look at the making of the movie.

always a good evening when a new grimmvideo is posted :)

One of my all time favorite movies First saw it in a movie theater when I was a child I was I. Awe. I'm now sixty years old I've watched this movie many many times throughout my life

Toto was my favorite character in the Wizard of Oz .

Great video! It’s nice to see some of the “old Hollywood” as you say. This was my cousins favorite movie as a kid. She passed away from an accidental overdose as well and her favorite song was song was “somewhere over the rainbow”. So I can relate to this video! Thanks again!

Really love your show. Thanks so much appreciate your knowledge and all you share . Great memories

The Wizard of Oz will forever remain 1 of my all time favorite movies. My Mom has a huge collection of memorabilia from the movie and it’s one the first movies I ever watched as a kid.

your videos are my comfort food for my mind. i love these. wish i had your life!

"Allot of ground to cover " lol!! I see what you did there! 😂

Next time Jessica and you should go back to visit St. Louis and continue this with Mickey Carroll grave site!

The wife and I are big Wizard of Oz fans and we've made plans to see Judy Garland's grave sometime at Hollywood Forever. I remember hearing that Judy wanted to be buried on the West Coast, not the East, so she got her wish.

You should visit the birthplace of Judy Garland in Grand Rapids MN

I swear, your videos are getting better with every one you add. I love the research and locations. Keep Halloween-ing!

Buddy Ebsen was the one cast as the Tin Man who got sick. He went on to play Jed Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies and Barnaby Jones.

I luv Wizard of Oz never get bored of it I can watch it over and over, my daughter is a fan too - when she was little her first time watching it you shoulda seen the look on her face pure delight and sorta scared when the bad witch showed up, such good memories

Thank you for showcasing and remembering all these wonderful actors. My grandfather (now 94 years old) used to work in one of the old theaters in Baltimore when he was young. It was frequented by Jack Haley (the second actor for the tin man) as well as some of the other cast members. Jack and him became good pals over the years though. Every time he visited he'd ask "I wanna see Mr.Mac, is he here?" My pop always talks about him, and how it was some of his best memories. It's a bit saddening to see how plain his resting site is, but I'm glad to see his memory going on. Thank you so much for this video!

It’s crazy people want to be buried in a mail slot. Thank you for sharing this though it’s wonderful

Buddy Ebsen was supposed to be the Tin Man. The paint contained latex which is what caused his allergic reaction.

What a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing.

I am a Wizard of oz fan and I really love Judy Garland i have all her movies the Wizard of Oz was my first time to seeing Judy Garland

Thank you for your video. Loved it so much. My mom was 4 when it came out in theaters. You gave more information about the actors that were involved. Thank you. Love you both. 🎃❤️

This is gonna be a good one

Thank you for this video - AND for the fact it is in 4k! Much appreciated my friend!

My old elementary school Cerritos is located across the street from the entrance of Forest Lawn Glendale. While in Kindergarten 1964 our class walked across the street with our teacher to look at the pond, fountain, and birds there. Over the years, 1964-1970, while playing on the playground we would see very long funeral precessions driving by. Our teachers would tell us it was a famous actor or actress that passed away. This is one of the oldest cemeteries of the stars in Los Angeles county. Years later as an adult, I would go back and look and be in awe of the beautiful art located in and around there. As a teenager in the 70s, I went with my parents to a Little People's golf tournament hosted by Billy Barty and met many of the actors who played the Munchkins. Fun memories. My family played with one of the descendants of Terry AKA Toto. While in the back area of the Spokane Arena we had the Ice Capades of the Wizard of OZ in the late 1990s and the Shriners like myself would entertain the kids as they came in to be seated. Where I dressed to be in an animal costume, a little Carrien terrier comes running into our dressing room. We all said that sure looks like Toto. The owners come in and retrieve the dog. They told us he was a direct descendent of the dog who did play Toto. My kids were there at that time and got to pet him. A sweet dog who was looking for friendship and attention.

The wizard of oz Wow!! Must of seen this movie a kiltrillion time's It was a childhhood staple in our house each xmas love.. everything the grimes do they put so much into bringing us great content.. Happy new year Michael Jessica ❤
