Tin Man Jack Haley couldn't sit, so they had a Frankensteinian reclining board in his dressing room to set him on a horizontal position for the occasional nap. Munchkins were far less wild than the legends, but accommodating the needs of that many little people -- many in costly and inconvenient costumes -- must have been a bear. <br /><br />On a DVD extra there are silent shots of the stars showing off their makeups.

The first person who happened by was Boris Karloff (who was apparently having a bad day at the studio), and when he asked him where the toilet was, Karloff replied, "This whole place is a toilet!"James Van Hisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-36309349482431151442014-09-10T07:59:27.520-07:002014-09-10T07:59:27.520-07:00Ken Levine dressed as Princess Leia...unfortunatel...Ken Levine dressed as Princess Leia...unfortunately, a picture I may NEVER get out of my head! emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-2053700058863342572014-09-10T07:25:51.562-07:002014-09-10T07:25:51.562-07:00I worked as a Harley service manager for a few yea...I worked as a Harley service manager for a few years.
