About 85-and-a-half years have passed since The Wizard of Oz debuted in theaters. Today, it's one of the all-time masterpieces of cinema for being well ahead of its time, great characters, and a fantastic cast.

 

 

In the middle of the clip, The Lollipop Guild does its famous routine. Concentrate on the Munchkin in the green. That's Jerry Maren when he was somewhere between seventeen to eighteen years old.

 

At 95 years old, he's the last living cast member from the movie. Everyone from the movie has passed away except him.

Did you know the original actor to play the tin man had an allergic reaction to the silver makeup and had to be replaced?

Eeyup! Known it for years.

 

Also, Buddy Ebsen wasn't technically the original actor for the tin man. When casting was signed on, Ebsen was originally the Scarecrow. Ray Bolger was the Tin Man. But Bolger convinced the producer to play as the scarecrow, and their roles were later switched.
