Production 1060: Arthur Freed by ric Gustafson
MGM asked Arthur Freed to be the associate producer for the Wizard of Oz. Freed was 44 when he was asked to help Mervyn LeRoy on the film. Freed picked E Y Harburg to be the lyricist for the film. Freed helped with the script and made sure it had an emotional center. Freed was born in 1894 in South Carolina. After Oz, Freed produced many musicals for MGM in the 1940's and 1950's.
Arthur Freed died in 1973.
