Oz page 9 by ric Gustafson
According to an Oz legend, actor Frank Morgan wore an old coat worn by L Frank Baum. Morgan started his career in the silent film era. By the late 1930's, he was an MGM veteran with an Oscar nomination. Because he was willing to take on several roles in one film, he was a perfect fit for the Wizard of Oz, Professor Marvel, the Coachman and the Gatekeeper. After Oz, Morgan became one of the grand old men of MGM.
Morgan passed away in 1950 while he was filming ' Annie Get Your Gun'.
