The Wizard of Oz is 70 years old...the surviving Munchkins are in their late 80s or 90.
Jerry Maren played the middle dude in The Lollipop Guild (and was a favorite of director Victor Fleming shown in photo holding Toto). Maren was also in The Terror of Tiny Town.
Trivia: The production people at M-G-M really needed more little people for the Munchkin scenes. They resorted to hiring approximately 12 children for the scenes.
I love the Munchkins.
