Production 1060: the Munchkins by ric Gustafson
In Baum's novel, the Munchkins were described as tall as Dorothy, many years older and oddly dressed. To play these little people, MGM hired the Singer Midgets. Under Leo Singer, they played at carnivals, vaudeville and circuses. They were brought to MGM in 1938 and housed in hotels near the studio. Key Munchkins were the Mayor, the Coroner and the Lollipop Guild. Jerry Maren was the last Munchkin to pass away.
