Quote O' Thee Day

“Although it is true that many of the Munchkins had crushes on Judy Garland, nothing actually happened, except for a few getting caught under her dress, and no Munchkin committed suicide or died during the production of the film (The Wizard of Oz), although one got stuck in a toilet.”

— Evan I. Schwartz, in his book Finding Oz
