Not that actor. The original choice was Buddy Ebsen.(Later, played Jed Clampett) He had an extreme reaction to the silver makeup, so was replace by Jack Haley.

@8jaime8 9 месяцев назад

@MaskedMan66 She was abused. Her mother and the studio saw to it that she was given highly addictive prescription drugs, even though she was a child. It was to control her weight and make her sleep and wake as required, so she could perform through the crushing hours she worked. This created the addiction that would eventually kill her aged just 47.

@MaskedMan66 9 месяцев назад

@@8jaime8 She took a prescription appetite suppressant which is still on the market today. That was it. Why would she have needed anything to "make her sleep" when she was going to need to be awake for doing her job? By the way, being a minor, and therefore subject to California child labor laws, she only worked for four hours of the eight-hour shooting day. She had two hours for school with her tutor, and the rest was free time. Judy's death was as a result of an accidental overdose of barbiturates, to which, ironically, she was not addicted.

@MaskedMan66 3 месяца назад

Judy was Mervyn LeRoy's only choice to play Dorothy. An MGM bigwig in New York said Shirley should have a singing test, so that was duly done, but nothing resulted from it. Toto was always going to be a real dog. Yes, the suit was made from lion pelts. How is that weird? The snow was gypsum, not asbestos. Nothing weird about using chocolate syrup for oil, especially since it was going to be going into Jack Haley's mouth. Terry wasn't paid, her trainer Carl Spitz was, while the Singer Midgets each got $100.00 a week, except for Mickey Carroll, who netted $500.00 a week thanks to Zeppo Marx. The horses were covered with a mixture of vegetable dye and make-up; they did not try to lick it off. Also, green was the one color that was not used. Nothing weird about the change of the shoes' color. Nothing weird about a blonde Dorothy; Dorothy Gale *is* blonde in the books. There was only one producer, and that was Mervyn LeRoy. True about "Over the Rainbow." It wasn't really weird that GWTW got Best Picture; it had been hotly anticipated. The cyclone was a tube, not a stocking. Who has legs that enormous? They only considered using Jackie as the Lion for about three seconds.
