Рет қаралды 428,866
10 жыл бұрынThe previous owner of Hollywood Palms Ted Bulthaup spearheaded the petition with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to get the much deserving munchkins from the Wizard of Oz their star on the walk of fame!
Here is the video featured on the rlu ray all about it!

Oh I can't tell you how happy I am to see this especially after I read the biography on the making of the Wizard of Oz and how neglected the munchkins were treated like no names and cattle and paid pennies on the set by MGM...good for them! It choked me up to see them finally being honored! This war generation is almost gone and I am honored that the last remaining munchkins who will soon be all gone-well we got the chance to say we lived in the time when they lived and got to hear their stories and got to see the last remaining survivors of such a classic movie that will go on into the next generation- !

YES! My grandfather from Argentina came to this country because California's Golden Age movies inspired him to come out here and work and of course... Wizard of Oz was one of those standout movies that secured him packing his bags to come out here. He made it a point to raise all three of his daughters and grandchildren on this movie but with me it was something so special. I am Dorothy and he is my Scarecrow, my TinMan, and my Lion. It has become a special bond for me and him and I am going to do the same with my kids, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren ❤

He was a very nice man, had nothing negative to say about anything. My Tv class interviewed him for one of our programs we put out every evening. I have a signed program from him.

It represents so many different things to me, friendship, fear, dreaming of a better world and most of all love. I love everything about this movie and have taken away so much from it. I am thankful for the wonderful memories the movie has given me throughout the years and it always makes me long for home. It never fails to make me cry and I'm not ashamed to admit it and I know it is true, there is no place like home and someday I too will fly over the rainbow.

Sophie Brown Toto the dog got paid more than them around $125 a week the munchkins got paid between $50 to $100 a week plus the dog( called terry( was in several other films at the time) hence the large pay cheque. Judy fell in love with terry and asked after filming she could keep the dog but the owner said no. Love this film makes me smile ever time(even thou Judy was all ready on prescription drugs)

+rossistanks Terry the dog was not paid. Her trainer, Carl Spitz, who put many animals through their paces in movies and also ran a kennel and a training school, was paid. Specialists always get more than extras. And the operative word there is "prescription." She wasn't given anything inherently dangerous if used properly.

There is a documentary called "we're off to see the munchkins" that is on here, and they speak about how a large portion of their check went to the agent and so they didn't end up with much money at all.
