The Wizard of Oz: Munchkin Suicide

Yeah it does sound depressing, but there is a myth around the film that one of the famous munchkins actually committed suicide whilst the cameras were rolling. AND even worse...no one had noticed, so it had been put into the final film edit. Apparently you can see the figure of a small person hang himself behind the trees, in the scene in the forest. Just before Dorothy and Co. go skipping away singing 'We're off to see the Wizard!..."



According to the urban legend, the munchkin resorted to suicide because he feel in love with a female munchkin, but she didn't feel the same way, (what a bitch). So he decided to end it all, right there, live on set. The film was made in 1939, wow, and in the first original print you can see the munchkin figure hang, but in the new edited edition they have shopped in a big bird. Ive seen the bird and its huge, and so out of place. They're definitely trying to hide something.
