The Twisted History Of The Wizard Of Oz

[@GrungeHQ]

What shocked you the most about what went on behind the scenes?

[@pja546]

What shocked, saddened and angered me is the way that Judy Garland was treated. She did not deserve that ill treatment.

[@VincentScales]

Judy Garland was reportedly put on a diet consisting of cigarettes, chicken soup, and coffee during filming in a further attempt to minimize her curves. This may be erroneous, as historians Jay Scarfone and William Stillman clarify that at the time Garland was an anti-smoker and was allowed solid food. However, her diet was accompanied by swimming and hiking outings, plus games of tennis and badminton with her stunt double Bobbie Koshay.

Considering some of the things that happened behind the scenes, it's amazing they even completed the movie.

[@thefamouspeopleus]

Wow, I always loved The Wizard of Oz, but I had no idea there was so much darkness behind the scenes!

[@tobiojo6469]

I watched the Wizard of OZ as a kid, I’m never going to look at it the same way again.

[@derky76]

The fact that the producers called Judy a fat little pig, meanwhile many of those old time execs looked nothing but like fat farm pigs in suits😭😭

[@tobiojo6469]

Every movie has dark secrets

One of my favorite movies of all time. Lots of dark behind the scenes history too!!

[@Hollyucinogen]

In case you didn't know this, there's a sequel with Fairuza Balk called "Return To Oz". It was cool, I liked it. Highly recommend. 👌

[@violetbeauregarde4ever]

What about The Twisted History of Willy Wonka?

[@KissyAdair]

We're talking about Oz today.

[@asim8294]

There is so many bad and awful things which happened with this Movie behind the scenes including on the set actors Judy Garland and more?

[@forrestdupre87]

The Muppet version has more scenes from the book.

[@austinghost1458]

Why does the voice change partway through the video??

[@motherlove202]

Two different narrators? Could be different videos edited together

[@catmomof2261]

There’s a little known film that perpetuated the rumors of the partying Munchkins. A fictional film called Under the Rainbow, starring Chevy Chase.

[@SADFORIAN]

It's not terribly surprising that Garland made less money than the veteran actors she was surrounded by.

[@judyjetson686]

You said she was 16. Then you said she was 17

[@unclenelvis]

Yea I’m guessing at some point she was……18 too. But never 48.

[@leesashriber5097]

She was 16. I caught that too.

[@jangles1839]

Maybe even 11-teen too 😕

[@kallen868]

She was 16 Going On 17.... Oh crap....wrong musical. 😜

[@Mo-yg2uk]

Maybe make your own video and then everything will be correct......good lord

[@gavinknight8754]

They were jerks that call her fat and a little pig.

[@DaytonJoey]

Have the corners autograph

[@anthonyperno1348]

If there was a political satire, it was William McKinley, and later called, the Ohio Gang, whom Frank Baum was calling con men. Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of OZ in 1898 after the McKinley-Bryan election of 1896. P.S. In the original work, witches wore white (business), and Munckins wore blue (workers). This was removed from the 1939 film. P.S.S Alao, removed for the film, was an understanding of the poppy field curse. The Wicked Witch of the West had her own (wage) slaves. These people are referred to, in the book, as the "Winkies." I'll leave you to figure out the connection between poppies and the winkies, and why it was called a curse.

Every movie has skeletons in the closet

[@ricorofficial]

God this is disturbing I am not suprised

[@mikeTHEmanatee]

i share no sympathy for those who dream of being part of Hollywood and under the big lights. i bet if you ask each individually, they wouldn't change anything if they could. people are where they want to be

[@D-Fens_1632]

I dated a gal who went out there in the 90s and did some minor work for a couple years. It sounded terrible. We dated in the late 2000s, in the post-Weinstein world I now wish I'd have pressed her for more details. Though she didn't like talking about it.

[@carycoller3140]
