« ORIGINAL MUNCHKINS FROM WIZARD OF OZ | Main | Dean reviews "Stranger Than Fiction", "A Good year" and "Harsh Times." »

Munchkin TV

Who knew all these folks were still around? We sat down with 4 of the last living munchkins from the Wizard of Oz.
Meinhardt Raabe (The Coroner); Karl Slover (The Trumpeter); Margaret Pellegrini (The Sleepyhead) and Mickey Carroll (Parade Leader)
Check our website for the complete interview - what a trip! They say they don't get sick of talking about the Wizard of Oz, and still will read their lines from the movie, when asked.
The biggest trip? Mickey Carroll (on the right) went to school with Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, and in later years was a speechwriter for Franklin Roosevelt.

Wondering if any of the Oz munchkins saw Wicked and if so, what were their thoughts about that storyline?
