If you’re disturbed by the scene in the Wizard of Oz where a Munchkin reportedly hung himself as Dorothy and her pals skipped merrily down the Yellow Brick Road, relax.
That’s just an urban legend. What you’re really seeing in the distance is a large, exotic bird they borrowed from the Los Angeles Zoo. Another Wizard of Oz myth is the Pink Floyd connection. All members of Pink Floyd have repeatedly denied syncing the album to the movie. It was just a coincidence.
True in the Wizard of Oz: Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the West, really did receive 2nd and 3rd degree burns when disappearing in that cloud of smoke. She was out for six weeks. Several of those flying monkeys were also hospitalized for injuries.
