*During the filming of Munchkn Land Margaret Hamilton's Hat,Broom & Cloak caught fire & she suffered seviere 2nd & 3rd degree burns on her hands & lower face.
*Ray Bolger was oringinaly cast as the Tin Man but asked to play the Scarecrow because his childhood heroe was Fred A. Stone who played the Scarecrow in the 1902 play.
*After slapping the Lion, you can see Judy use Terri(Toto) to cover her face so you couldn't see her giggling.
*After only a few weeks of production Buddy Ebsen(Tin Man) became very ill from his "allumineum dust" make-up & was replaced by Jack Haley.

*Gale Sondergaard was hired to play a "Slinky & Seductive" Wicked Witch, the sequinced gown did not pass as a Witch & she was given "The Ugly Treatment" at that time she happily left Oz behind & later quoted, "I was not about to make myself look ugly. I have no regrets, absolutley no Regrets."
*Over the Rainbow(Reprise)-Dorothy was to sing another verse of Over the Rainbow while prisoner of the Witch, but was so sad it was scrapped. It is unknown if clips exist.
