Oz page 3

Oz page 3 by ric Gustafson


By 1939, Judy Garland had been an MGM contract player for four years. Because of her musical comedies with Mickey Rooney, she was one of MGM's brightest stars. MGM studio chief Louis B Mayer wanted Shirley Temple for the role of Dorothy. Producers Mervyn Leroy and Arthur Freed wanted Garland for the role. Because Fox refused to release Temple, Garland won the role.
Born in 1933, Terry the Terrier played Toto. The lovable terrier became one of Hollywood's favorite animal stars.
