My dad wasn't sure about you at first, but now he's totally obsessed! You've completely pulled him in and he is blown away by your storytelling abilities. He almost died on my birthday in November from heart failure, but he's massively come around. Your presence has been fantastic company during his healing journey. He loves you! Thank you for everything you do. ❤"
As a kid I would pause the vhs tape and try to find the hanging muchkin"
Please do a dark history on life on a Carnival cruise ship
When I was a CNA, I worked with a small person (like “The Little People” size, but idk how to correctly put that without offending), that was in Star Wars! She had a ton of photos of her on the set of Star Wars on her wall. She was the coolest lady.
I remember this!! I saw it on my friend's VHS!
I went to the MN state fair when I was little and got to meet several of the actors who did munchkin land. I met a gentleman who played the first trumpeter, one of the men who played in the lollipop gild, and a actress who was a child at the time that was one of the ones in the little “nest” waking up. I got a photo signed “follow the yellow brick road”. I know I was one of thousands they met but to 8 year old me , it was absolute magic!
I feel like the story where the poor munchkin that got stuck in the toilet is where we coined the phrase "did you fall in?" When someone is taking too long in the bathroom
You can totally see it, the older copies have it
Hi Bailey... Oz Expert and personal friend of many of the remaining living little people "midgets" back in the day since 1989. According to them only 2 drunken brothers caused trouble and partying, not the entire group. And no one bothered Judy Garland, in fact she signed an autograph photo for each and every one and gave them each 2 pieces of chocolate candy. The Wizard of Oz is not as horrific nor as bad as many people assume it was. Everyone enjoyed filming the movie for the most part. ***** ( On a different note, please consider doing a deep dive on the Legendary Lizzie Borden!! 😮 )
I need an episode about the traveling Human Body Exhibit. Just saw a post of a mom that is convinced her son was m*rdered with cyanide and his body was harvested to use in the traveling museum. And now that particular “model” has not been seen in the collection for several months. It’s a rabbit hole
