Deborah Netburn writes in the LA Times Nov. 21:

Of the original 124 little people who made up the town of Munchkinland in 1939's "The Wizard of Oz," only seven are still alive.

They are wrinkled and mostly hard of hearing. Some of them are slightly confused and they all move slowly. But they still have stories to tell -- in unexpectedly high-pitched voices -- and on Monday night at a special screening of the film at Grauman's Chinese Theater, they told them. Sort of.

Comedian and film archivist Stan Taffel was charged with the difficult duty of interviewing the actors before the screening began. Even though Taffel speaks in the smooth, loud tones of a radio host, some had trouble understanding him.

From Good Morning America Nov. 20:

The lovable little people who first captured Americans' hearts in the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

Some of the original Munchkins, who are now in their 80s and 90s, will be on hand this afternoon when the star is veiled. Only nine of the original cast of 124 actors who played Munchkins survive today.

The yellow brick road finally led them to the recognition they sought as part of one of the most famous musicals ever made.

"We finally deserved one. After 70 years, the best picture ever made, the whole world saw this movie, and now we got our star," said Mickey Carroll, who played a Munchkin in the movie.

The classic film about a teenage Kansas girl named Dorothy Gale who is swept away to the dangerous and dreamy land of Oz as a result of a dangerous twister earned several awards, including an Academy Award for its music.
