Jack Haley came from Boston. He started out singing in community and church events. At 17, he came to Philadelphia. He worked at a switchboard and as a bellhop. In his off hours, he practiced tap dancing. In vaudeville, he became part of a song and dance duo. In the early 1930's, he came to Hollywood. He made 20 pictures between 1932 and 1938. Then he caught the eye of the producers of the Wizard of Oz. Playing the Tin Man cemented him into film history. His son Jack Haley Jr married Liza Minnelli in 1974. Liza Minnelli was the daughter of Judy Garland.
Next, we will look at the Cowardly Lion.
