Charlie Kelly

I have no idea if anyone has ever brought this up before, but I just saw this and had to share it. I was just watching a documentary about movies with troubled productions and of course they went over the wizard of oz. Amongst all of the stuff that went wrong on set (people getting burned by the pyrotechnics, the makeup paint being toxic, using asbestos as snow, and everything else) apparently one of the rumors was that the little people who played the munchkins were all very poorly behaved and even had wild drunken sex parties at the hotel that all the munchkin actors stayed at together during production. This has been debunked or at least revised to “in reality there were maybe a few out of the 150 or so of them that were rambunctious or caused problems”.

One of those few was known as the biggest trouble maker of them all and apparently brought a gun to set one day because he was jealous that his wife (also a little person) left him for another little person.

The name of that actor: Charlie Kelly 😂

Just thought that was a very funny coincidence!
