So, this is disturbing on so many levels. Should have really taken heed of the title. I think the next time I hear some where over the rainbow I’m gonna cry even harder.
My parents let me c this movie so many times. I love now it’s just gross. I’ve heard so much about this movie it is just really disgusting.
I’m always gonna cry to that song first song I ever sang to my mother and it was the last song she ever heard when she died in my arms last year I hope she is waiting for me and someday I will go over the rainbow to join her in heaven
@@Horrorblonde that is so touching. Thank you for sharing this 😇
I knew that they had Problems yet I never imagined this. I am a burn Survivor so I understand they didn't care about anything except for the 💰💲💰💲💰💲💰💲💰💲💰
I will never watch it again out of respect for all those who suffered on that Movie 🎥
I stopped watching movies when Hollywood started showing how the movies were made. Because they only showed you the mechanical side of making the movie.
How many in Hollywood have signed a NDA❓
@@IamwhoIam333 I’m so sorry you had to suffer. Sending 🤗
Judy Garland died because of this movie. It messed her up being abused and taken advantage of. Judy Garland was so beautiful and innocent before all of this. I hate how Hollywood's evilness turns good people into broken addicts
they did the same thing to carrie fisher...and gave her all the drugs they could to make her loose weight for her last star wars movie
I believe the wizard of oz put a curse on all the actors who took part in it also the movie is an early drug related movie
Yes Hollywood is definitely evil but when it comes children/teens in this case to Judy Galand I believe that the parents are the ones that should be held accountable for any abuse or mistreatment that happens on set ...and these nasty criminal like producers directors ect.
Need to be punished how do these douchebags even have jobs I would do anything to protect my child so..... to me Judy Garland's parents are just as guilty!!
@@MaskedMan66 ignorance is not a way of life but stupidity is apparently you see all the evidence and still deny it that's why oj walked on the murder trial of his ex wife and her friend...gods you are stupid
@@MaskedMan66 he didn't make her do drugs on star wars but he did make her go without a bra while making starwars...if thats not sexist what is...she went along with it because she didn't want to be fired...
the scary thing is that movie studios and Hollywood haven't changed. they still care more about money then the people who make them rich.
Well, it is a business, not a charity.
@@chloedassler6156 ..... And #trafficking🤫
@@chloedassler6156 business isn't the extortive, bait and switching, child raping, trash that Hollywood is, they're a whole new level of private oligarchy
Why would they tho if they never face any consequences
Yes but they couldn't get away with this shit. U think Gweneth paltrow would wear that toxic makeup or be around absteos snow,?
I was born during black and white television times. I can still recall the first neighbor we had getting a color television on the block.
All of us kids were bundled up one evening and went to their house to see The wizard of Oz.
when Dorothy exits her home after it's landed in munchkinland and you're treated to all the Technicolor colors it was just amazing to me.
I hear ya sister
And it doesn't end there. Her daughter Liza suffered from alcoholism and was addicted to drugs. The struggles that you deal with are passed down to generations. So sad.
Not always.
Judy Garland was very pretty.
She also had a beautiful voice.
@@judybrannen I love it when she sings "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" ! Judy is wonderful!
? Weird comment
I agree!
I LOVED Judy Garland's Christmas Specials! Great guests, her daughter Liza would have a special part, usually with a friend, her younger siblings, or boyfriend. Then they'd all sing Christmas Carol's together around a Tree! I miss Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and the Carpenters Christmas Specials. Now, we get false news, riots, and hate.
Meyer had a lot of nerve calling Judy fat when he was a tub of lard himself.
Facts.
Amazing what was considered fat back then. Now, that's just normal, if not a little skinny.
My dead stepfather always weighed around 600#, and spent 15 years of my life insulting my looks & weight.
So stupid and gross she is beautiful
Where's the lie!?
“They refused to loan her out.” I hate how that sounds and really hate how true it was/is. They literally owned their actresses and honestly not much has changed. It’s like legal human trafficking where actresses like Judy Garland and Shirley Temple were bought and sold like objects. Ugh.
How the hell do you make that leap?
@@kennethmoaratty7893 it's about the same when you think about it. Back then they literally owned you. They told you who to be, where to go, what to say. You had no freedom. especially children actors. And A lot of them were sexually assaulted. When you think about it, it's quite similar
@@parisinthe30sx right?! Not to mention the fact they were given drugs to make sure they were “on” during filming and more to bring them down so they were resting while they weren’t on set. Judy Garland was 15 years old taking uppers and downers every single day for years and MGM monitored every single thing she ate too because they wanted to make sure she was “perfect” ... insane.
@@kennethmoaratty7893 I explained how. Read it again ma’am. 🙄
Cael I take it you have no idea how your birth contract/certificate works, we're all owned property. I highly suggest checking out Jordan Maxwell's videos on YT on this very subject.
This sounds like a season of American horror stories except this is real and a lot more of horror then the story
Can you imagine the creative intro AHS could do with elements from this?
Omg this is a great idea for a season of AHS.
@@laurafrank7768 Right? It would fit so well!
You know those series on AHS are based off of real events/stories and people... I can't imagine what they would do with this 😣
Yes, there might be parts that are found in AHS.
And I thought the flying monkeys were the most scary thing.....
DISGUSTING
Yes, the flying monkeys were scary and as someone commented below ⬇️ ,
they were also disgusting.
To me , the creepy part of the monkeys were that they looked part _Gargoyle_ .
edit::: Monkeys are sweet and loving creatures, it's just that their personality traits with violent tendencies are highly _unpredictable_ .
Seriously!!
So horrible and it happen w a lot of people that acted.
LOL🤣
MGM not only refused to hire Shirley for having a semi good singing voice, she explained in an interview, when she was invited to a meet up at the company, she was seperated from her mother (both where sexually harrassed in the offices) a producer showed his private parts to Shirley and she started laughing. The mens ego dropped immediately and they were kicked out the building. That's why they no longer considered her.
Terrible
I watched that video before this one
Just to throw it out there Shirley’s mother was an incredible piece of shit and does not deserve anyone’s sympathy
WOW, evil fu#$%@!
If I would watch this film, it's because of the actors and would do so illegally. This kind of film studios don't deserved such talents. Freaking despise anybody taking advantage of another person
I'm so saddened by this and will never look at The Wizard of Oz the same again. It's criminal how little Judy and her costars were cared for and just how much they suffered during the filming.
Other than Judy..they were full blown adults they chose to stay and they accepted this treatment in exchange for fame and money ..the only victim here is Judy yet once she became an adult she chose to stay in the industry
You can look back at Oz as you always did as most of these myths aren't true. Judy was in a very happy place during this movie.
@@ddajani45 that’s fucked up to say. They all had contracts they couldn’t break, and this was after the great depression(it’s release, but what about filming?) . Dont victim blame
@@karimparchment1391 which interviews were they? It's true that Judy had a difficult life in many parts but not all of that occurred during Oz, which is what is often stated. Myths like the munchkins abusing her are completely inaccurate. Please, however, send me a link to these exact interviews where she claims that she was miserable during Oz. Have you spoken to people who knew her or Judy herself?
We are honoured to be friends with preeminent Oz and Judy historian, John Fricke (who appeared on our recent Oz podcasts) and he has researched (that is researching and not reading) indepth everything about this movie and Judy. He has interviewed and been friends with many who knew her, including Judy's daughter, Lorna. They all know the truth and have perspective of the bad times. So of you are willing to share your research then we will happily share ours. I will also provide links to our 2 Oz podcasts (with a third on the way). (Sarah)

And it still happens today.
I can't imagine what Shirley Temple must've went through in Hollywood back then as a child.
she bailed out early...best thing she ever did.. RIP
Yep coming to oh
My great grandma was actually one of Shirley temple's doubles(a stand in, one of the main ones)
I thought it was pretty awesome to find out
You are linked to cinema history....awesome@@EristonHorror
@@myrnawashington9057 .mygod
This is more horrifying than most slasher films. Absolutely despicable. RIP, beautiful Judy. 💞
They should make a movie about the making of the Wizard of OZ that would be a great movie
@@bodhixxx1 Damn😳😳😳That would be a great movie👏🏼👏🏼I know I would go see it.
@@bodhixxx1 Yeah, I could see some great dialogue, Matt.
..................................................................................................................
"I need help. Quick, follow me!"
"What's wrong?"
"The Count is stuck in the toilet bowl and can't get out." 😀
Why do people instantly believe all this kak without once trying to find out the truth?
I am heartbroken to hear that they all were made to suffer so much by the greedy studio. That they were forced to wear toxic & flammable chemicals & costumes was unconscionable.
Like you warned us this movie was even more horrifying than we knew. On too many levels. I’ve heard it said that artists must suffer for their art but what they went through takes it to a whole new level.
This will be haunting me forever.
L x hi
Stop! Don't let it. You can't believe ever
You should go back in time and do something about it .
*smh* Nobody was forced to do anything. Nothing was toxic, and just about everything we encounter in everyday life is flammable. The cast and crew of this movie were justly proud of how it turned out, and loved it for the rest of their lives. They would be insulted by your words.
They all could have quit at anytime. Dont feel sorry for football players or mma fighters or boxers who get cte. Its their choice. Nobody is forcing them to do so.
RIP Judy Garland, deeply upsetting what she went through
It's deeply upsetting what all of the actors went through. This happened long before actors, even the star of the movie, had protection from this torture.
It was Judi's mother who first got her hooked on drugs. Not mgm
She "went through" the most exciting time in her career making _Wizard,_ that's what she "went through. You can forget all that B.S. about her being bullied, starved, beaten, forced to do this and that, assaulted, raped, and all the rest of it.
@@deborahallen3318 As Jack Haley said, it was just "a lot of hard work." Nobody was abused.
@@WonderfulEagle-mm1vj Her name was Judy (Frances, really), and she didn't get "hooked on" anything until she was an adult.
I heard somewhere that it wasn’t until Meet Me In Saint Louis that Judy Garland actually felt beautiful. She was absolutely gorgeous and truly a talented artist. The world was blessed by her spirit!
Very talented woman. But she was not a beauty. For a hollywood actress she was quite plain looking.
By whose standards? She was beautiful. Just because she was “plain looking” doesn’t mean she isn’t beautiful.
@@melaniemccoy8586 "Plain looking doesn't mean she isn't beautiful."
Ok God I won’t argue with you anymore.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Shirley Temple left MGM because someone reveal himself to her in an interview when she was twelve, and she and her mother decided not to work for them.
Well, she dodged a bullet there.
@@KathrynSrce3719 Not really. She still endured so much abuse and sexual harassment as a child
@@ryleebooth90 Thank you for clarifying this. I didn't realise that not only MGM were abusing their actors, especially their child actors.
@@KathrynSrce3719 Yes if you watch their video about shirley temple it explains it
I don't think they decided to not work for them anymore, I think they were fired because Shirley laughed when when he exposed himself to her and that bruised the producer's (I think) ego, so they let her go.
Margaret, AKA, the wicked witch actually had a home here in Maine on one of the islands in Casco Bay not far from where I live. Anyhow, she was actually very kind and gentle and gave back to the community. I never met her but she is looked upon fondly and with respect in our area. I never knew, however, what she had to suffer. It is so sad really.
Poor Margaret how terrible that she got so burned..she was amazing in the role of the witch..still gives me chills when I watch her performance.
They did her wrong she went through all of that for them to take her part out.smgh
That’s what I heard from friend who worked for her, which was my friends mother. She was perpetually asked to do her famous line, and loved/hated doing it. And I quote (third hand) ‘ I didn’t mind with the exception of say, coming out of a public restroom pulling up my panties and NOW you’re asking me?!?!’ She was a fabulous person and actress, from what I heard. ❤️🙏🏻
Well I don't think anyone actually thought she was a real witch...nice to hear though.
@@mickyjones8500 who said that
I don’t even wanna try to think about the shit Hollywood was doing back in those days 😭🤮
It's worse now.
@@abcisneros91 My thoughts too. Way worse.
@Arielle Cisneros it really isn't lol ...this was 1939 ...Dr's weren't monitored so they did whatever money bought,there was no cameras everywhere to record for proof, women in general in the 1930s were PUBLICLY treated like 2nd rate humans so imagine what was done behind doors? It's literally no where near as bad 🙄
@@stephanieearp1760 Exactly. They’re still at it.
And are still doing!!!!!!!!
Its criminal that MGM is still a thing
My friend worked there for a spell and they are as dysfunctional as you would think. You have to be willing to take abuse.
@@divine_cosmos I bet 'returning back the abuse' is not in the contract
The fbi is still a thing and they covered up for worse.
Far from being criminal, it's questionable whether it's even wrong.
Big organizations have a repertoire of both good and evil. That's why they say to 'Never stand in the way of a jerk and his cause.'
You really believe all this kak?
@@peterheimsoth159 and you don't? Why? Do you need hard proof's?
Her mother looked off. Not much of a mother. Some women don’t deserve this title!

Seems to me her mother was money hungry.
@@tangreatmusicyacriso323 ALL child actor parents are money hungry they put the child to work so they don't have to
Later in life Judy Garland referred to her mom as "the REAL wicked witch of the west". That tells you all you need to know.
Hence the term ‘stage mother!’ Horror stories front line!!!!🤔🧐
Hamilton was treated horribly - she was burnt horrifically. Not only wasn't she sent to the hospital but not even home. Then they demanded to know when she'd return to work. When she did they wanted to film with fire again - when refusing her stand in was burnt.
That's exactly what was said in the documentary lol
@@lindemann5936 ..... and ..... whats your point?
You’re right about the poor treatment they got. One thing is certain, they were tough as nails back then, now we’re soft.
@@__MjG__ very true
@@claire040776 Your comment has no significance.. Only repeated
Of all the horrible things to happen on the set, I can't even pick the worse. To think that there was worst things going on which won't ever be revealed.
Judy Garland was a beautiful lady. She had a beautiful voice. She should never have been second choice. What a shame , the actors went through such horrors to film this movie. Sad.
Her being second is all you noticed?
@@TyeArtisik no, the fact that Hollywood is a very dark and scary place, no place for children. She was also very short, first person, to be even shorter than me....lol.
I feel so bad for Judy garland. If you watch documentary about Judy you'd cry. Yes even if your a guy her life story is so sad. Even when you realize that that basically her weight issues where 1 of the reasons qhy she died especially with her drug issues
Sooo sad😥

I feel so sad for Judy Garland even all these years later. She was so beautiful, and the people who ran that studio should have been jailed for child abuse, and NO ONE IN THEIR FAMILY SHLYLD EVER SEE MONEY FROM PROCEDES from that film ever again.
That movie always creeped me out.
Me too. Always.
Me too. I later grew to love Judy Garland however i never really liked this movie. Just.. weird.
Me too
Its actually a very disturbing movie the faces of actors whenever they talk is like a kids worst nightmare the fact that the people who where in this movie are so old and thats really uncomfortable....the secrets behind it is way worse, the actors should have been younger and the facial expressions should have been more calm. But this movie was the worst when l first watched it l was so scared of everything l saw l dont even know how people like this movie.
It is no wonder I always felt these creepy vibes while I watched this movie.
I was genuinely sad until I pictured a hundred drunk Munchkins getting arrested with a butterfly net.😂😂😂
Why did I just picture that😭, but everything else is truly cruel😟
😂😂😂😂😂
Ik that sounds messed up but I can't help but imagine trying to catch them with a butterfly net😂😂😂😂😂😂

😭😭😭😭😭😭
How can the dog have been paid more than some of the actors? Disgraceful!
The dog belonged to one of the producers.her name was terri i think...I remember reading that one of the flying monkeys tripped over the dog and hurt it quite badly.judy took terri home with her on set, and nursed it back to health.she grew fond of the little dog and wanted to keep her,but her owner wouldn't allow it
@@jenniehudson5742 ..... if the dog belonged to one of producers then it shouldn't have been paid at all ..... let alone more than some of the actors!
How did Toto spend the money? 😂😂😂
Toto logged more screen time than most of the actors on that movie lol
Are you kidding? This dog worked harder than anyone.
I remember looking at pictures of the 1930s online and saying, "I wish I could take a time machine and live there." I always loved vintage lifestyle and glam. My dad would always say "no...you don't."
Now I see why. The 30s were a scary place between starving and slapping little girls, lobotomies, the way the mentally ill were treated, what these poor actors had to endure. Just everything...it seems like a horrible nightmare and I feel so sorry for all of those poor people. And you know what? I need to take back something I said on another unrelated video. I said actors get paid too much.
After seeing this, I can see why they're paid like that. It's literally a risk on their lives and comfort, for our entertainment
Nobody starved anybody, and Judy wasn't a little girl. The slap was a desperation move for which Fleming felt awful and Judy forgave him. Those "poor actors" (and they'd feel patronized by that expression) were just doing their jobs. They were paid according to the terms of their various contracts, and what they received was good money in those days.
Thought provoking. When you consider what “average” people we’re going through & putting up with at the height of the Great Depression, it’s a wonder anyone made it out alive.
Peadowood
You’re creepy. How many comments are you going to make??
I feel so bad for them all. They didn’t deserve all this abuse and everything. It’s depressing what this all actually happened. ☹️
They would not want your pity. They didn't consider it abuse because it wasn't. It was just, as Jack Haley said, "a lot of hard work." They would tell you to lighten up and enjoy the movie as much as they sis, which was a lot. 🙂
Pills didn't kill Judy, its was Hollywood. And along the way it continues to take many more lives😞.
I have the original vhs tape and it literally is a swinging body. Later versions of the film shows a bird
It's kind of funny how anything weird or unexplainable is always a "bird" lol
Yes! True! I knew I wasn't losing my mind! My kids are over 18 now and this Christmas when it was on TV I was going to point out and both said it's a bird. I was slack jawed! I said "they changed it! That only made me think that the sad story must be true if they went to the trouble of cgi. If they took it out completely people would notice. I used to rewind my VHS and point it out as a teen to my friends. It was SWINGING. Besides toto, and some horses and maybe a couple farm animals during those first scenes birds were not just tossed in to make the movie look REAL!
@@joedirt3970 tbh I don’t remember birds being in the movie at all until that one seen in later versions
Could you Put it on your channel?
Prove it then.
This whole video was really bringing me down, but Ive decided now that I know about this to just appreciate the gift of having known the work of the imcomperable, beautiful Judy Garland. RIP, you incredible lady.
A lot of what's in this video is rubbish.
Judy was a beautiful yet tortured soul and was never given the credit she deserved. 💔
Please please please continue the old Hollywood movie history... I'm a big fan of all those old movies and it's terrible what happened to all those stars. The Movie Production Line was horrible. The actors were just a warm body to those studios. There's soooo much hidden history in them. Thank you for all you do !!! I really love your channel ❤
I had a feeling there was a dark side to the movie but nothing in regards to what happened w/ the actors and actresses. 😳 This is wild!!
I WANTED TO WATCH A DOCUMENTARY ON THIS AND I CANT BELIEVE EWU DID ONE I LOVE IT!!
This is the kind of stuff that makes this world a cruel place... There's nothing good ever said about Hollywood...
I credit her mother and MGM studios for starting her on drugs and resulting in her death. A recipe for disaster...smh
And whenever she was on hiatus, they pushed her to perform again... She looked worn out at the end.
Yes. She looked completely exhausted. The kind of tired that takes months if not years to erase. Sadly, she'd never get that chance. So sad.
It is all extremely sad...will it stop me from watching it? The actors endured so much and still gave a phenomenal performance, it would a shame not to continue to marvel at their work...so I will continue to admire this piece of art, sharing it with my grandkids who also love.
I knew some of these facts but not all. Thank you for the revelation!
But it was considered a failure. That must have hurt them
All they did Julie Garland and she was a teenager. Can you imagine what they'd have done if Shirley Temple had gotten this role? She was only 10. and back then child labor laws without a strict as they are now specially when it comes to child actors. when I was growing up I always wondered why didn't you start everything great after The Wizard of Oz now I know why. I seriously think if she could do it over again you wouldn't have taken the role. and I felt sorry for the other actors to. I had heard this movie was a curse I just didn't realize how bad it was
Judy Garland later said she wished she never had been an actor, but a singer only. She loved singing for her audiences.
There is many videos/documentary about shirley temple and how she was abused! Look it up u will be in total shock! I know I was
Never really liked this movie I always thought it was disturbing
It was always boring to me.
YES I AGREE
"I have bad taste. Now I am vindicated. Everyone else with no taste or attention span leave me a like to validate me further."
Me too
I was 3 years old and I started crying when her house lifted up in the air. Got so frightened I thought I remembered throwing up. Scared me to DEATH.

@@fukutube7916 Again this imaginary Satan worship. No Lewis Caroll did not worship Satan. For one, Satan is an anachronistic modern concept and isn't part of the original bible and is arguably not even a part of the modern translations.

No abuse at all and no tragedy except the one which nobody ever talks about. Bert Lahr's stuntman, riding his motorcycle on his day off, was killed in a traffic accident.
This movie has always freaked me out my energy was never wrong lol
Yeah something was always just … off for me too couldn’t explain it
💯💯💯
So true, even when I was a kid watching it seemed like Judy appeared sad and almost emotionless during the movie, even her happy scenes felt forced
Agreed. As a kid watching this i felt the dark evilness of it.
I never really liked this movie as a child. Way too much evil in the theme itself.

@@jimredskye7858 why
Man this was depressing.
I blame Judy's Mom for everything for pushing her into showbiz.
How could she know the horrors faced. You're gonna blame EVERYTHING on her? Like the studios didn't take advantage of her too
Edit: Nevermind, I got to that part about her mother. Still not soley her fault but that woman sucked
so this is what they meant by suffering for one's art
I feel sorry that Judy Garland and the cast of the Wizard of Oz had to suffer awful abuse. That was disgusting the way that MGM Studios treated them. This incident had scarred Judy Garland all her life.
Facts! And since she was a minor at the time, it’s considered child abuse.
They wouldn't want your pity. They didn't think they'd been "abused"; as Jack Haley said, it was just "a lot of hard work." They were not treated badly, and Judy always looked back on it with fondness.
@@amylee8969 Not facts.
SOOOOO SAD.
MY DAD WAS A LAWYER, SHE WAS A CLIENT/FRIEND. My day had a picture of her & him, he was sitting behind his desk, & she was in front of his desk stopped over holding her stomach as if COMPLETE AGONY. I didn’t understand way back then, I was a kid. My dad just had this overwhelming compassion for her, while shaking his head back & forth. It now makes sense to me. SADLY! He knew what they did to her.
The scarecrow was my favorite b/c he was the first one to meet Dorothy and he proved all along he could figure things out and he had perhaps the best line in the entire movie - "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking."
I am devastated for her, for all of them. Unfortunately, this exploitation of children still goes on in Hollywood to this day. Overworked, sexual abuse, drugs, alcohol it's all still there. More and more former child stars are coming forward to tell their experiences of sexual abuse and threats to keep quiet. It's unreal to me that there are so many grown adults with a sick and perverted mind for children. What the hell is wrong with ppl. The fact that Judy's mother was the first to cram her full of drugs is sickening and infuriating to me. She should have been the one jumping up and snatching her child off that set before a single drug entered her body and without that child being deprived of proper food for even a single day. Your child is NOT your meal ticket and I find it heartbreaking they were used and abused and even the mothers refused to protect their little miracles. I wish I could protect them all if their own mothers wouldn't. As I'm sure every other decent mother out here feels the same. A child is a cherished blessing, they are not here for adult's amusement or bank accounts. I just will never be able to wrap my mind around this topic.
God is watching, do they not get that? One day they will regret their deplorable depraved actions because judgement befalls us all.
Why did they hate their actors and actresses so much? My god!
Jealousy, perhaps?
They hate/hated everyone.
Well Hollywood is being cleaned up now, hopefully when all the slime’s been removed some good little actors can get work with out being compromised by the evil movie produces and agents and parents
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's always been creeped out by this movie.
I remember when I was around 10, my mom and I stayed at a Wizard of Oz themed bed in breakfast in upstate New York. Couldn't even sleep, hated it lol.
I only liked the very beginning and the very end. All the middle of the movie had an evil and trippy vibe.

Judy Garland is one of the greatest talents of all time if not the greatest
So they would feed her sleeping pills, then wake her up after 4 hours to get back to filming?
Yeah u caught that to...the hour part is critical it's a wonder her body didn't go into a shock .. with that type of cocktail n take her out right then ....crazy
Tell me yall gonna do one on Willy Wonka next!! I sure hope so cause he was twisted....
OH YES pretty please!!
How was the behind the scenes for Willy Wonka?
Fu*k Yes
Yesss
I’ve seen that tape, that does not look like a bird. If you compare the tape to the one with the bird, you can not mistake the two unless you literally can’t see
If you watch the real movie, any format, any release year, it's a sarus crane. The "hanging object" video is a proven fake made in 2011.
Wow I’ll never watch this movie the same didn’t realize all this was going on
I remember seeing an interview a long time ago with Bert. He seemed so annoyed with the questions & admitted that filming the movie wasn’t fun. Now I understand why.
It's sad to learn that there are these disturbing facts behind one of the most iconic and timeless movie in history.
And Judy Garland will remain an icon and legend!
I always got a scary vibe from this movie
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Preach
Thank you! We appreciate the great coverage of Norwich's Memorial Day parade. Well done, Sir 🎉.
I know this supposed to be serious and everything but that munchkin story was funny as hell
Okay well I am not judging you.
It is awful
Which part
I'm sorry, but money or no money.. When someone slapped me, that would be the end for me. I would have walked off the set, and never returned.
If I was the parent of Judy I would have decked that man.
@@borrisbirdlegs you arent a hollyweird parent- Garland was just a fat check to her mom and her mom who had plenty of hollywood exp knew what was gonna happen to her daughter from the beginning
I would have kicked him in the balls if he slapped me then walked away and never returned.
@@boogaria554 me too. Go right for that beanbag
@@stanmarsh4566 imagine getting mad at a minor for giggling so you slap them. Now imagine someone on RUclips many years later saying it was justified in any way shape or form, but that a slap might have been a bit too much. Then also imagine that same person saying something completely unrelated to the topic at hand and blaming it on “kids these days don’t know nothing!” All while implying that because of how much money was spent filming the CHILD actress deserved to be continually treated that way.
I have never liked this movie. Always found it creepy.
Same!!!!! I guess now I know why
Thank you for telling us the horrendous suffering the actors had to endure.
I was not ready for this. 37yrs old and I never knew their pain. This wasn't to watch at work.
The movie's super weird.. Screw Hollyweird!!
9:39 burns are one of the most excruciating injuries to heal from, they take TIME and months and months of bandage changes and intense care. The fact they called her next day to see when she would be coming back makes me sick - that she was afraid to sue because of fear to never get hired again makes my heart break for her. That Hollywood was so disgusting back then doesn't surprise me because look at it today just as seedy and deplorable just as with any criminal they learned how to hide it better.
The Tin Man and Scarecrow were also seasoned actors, this wasn't their first roles by any means, and they probably knew how to get a better price for their talents.
*Absolutely enthralling. Believe It or Not, back in the day, the Movie was only played, once a year, at Thanksgiving. We'd all huddle around the TV set, it'd be the only time we'd be allowed to eat Popcorn in the LV, in front of the set and we'd be transported all over again! On another level, this Movie has a double meaning in every way!*
So sad to put the cast through hell like that. Just to make a great family film!! I saw the wiz with ms. Dianna Ross as Dorothy Was great as well !! I think I ‘m going to find the behind the scenes of the wiz. Right after I watch this video. God bless you all. 💜🫵🏾🙏🏾
Even as dark as this is, it does not have what it takes to ruin my childhood.
Right, it’s so sad and awful what happened to everyone but this was my favorite movie as a child. In fact, for 2 years my mom said I watched it every night before bed. I vividly remember it. I was Dorothy for Halloween as well. This movie is literally my whole childhood
@@skylarstarbird9864that's the influence of evil pedo hollywood. Kids should be outside playing rather than watching their evil stories
I loved this movie but I always felt like there was something weird or unsettling about it. I Loved judy Garland but this movie is what killed her
It’s always been one of my favorite. I mean, favorite movies of all time. Judy Garland and Toto her. terrible abuse from Hollywood.
I'm crying and very disturbed this is a true American horror
I love all the EWU speakers. You guys are so distinct. Mad respect
I would actually like a movie that shows all the behind the scenes incidents in this movie
After seeing this, the wizard of oz has lost its innocence and charm.
Mixed with the real lion hyde and it's association's with mk ultra, I'm glad I never cared for it!
Might as well not watch any hollywood movies if your goin to say that
@@edwardmccready9288 I'm sure there are stories behind every movie. The Wizard of Oz is a huge part of most people's childhood. To hear such awful things about this movie just taints another part of those people childhoods including myself!
You are now adults get over it the world is full of crap
Do you still let children watch it you can stop them thinking about it
Y'all need to watch the movie "Judy" came out earlier this year. Really pin points what happened. Really takes the joy out of anything judy garland Was in
Sounds like they had no respect for the actors, I find this very disturbing.
All they cared for was money
If you accept the blatant spin doctoring in this video.
That didn't look like a bird trying to fly to me.
No Bird,,,Sick Sick Sick EVIL PURE EVIL..
EVEN UNTILL THE PRESENT DAY....
I've zoomed in and it STILL didn't look like a bird.
@Kyle Larkins "For dramas sake" please! It doesn't look like a bird to me. Big deal. Move along. I'm not exactly sure why my opinion matters to you anyway.🤷♀️
@Kyle Larkins I replied because you threw that "yall" in there, meaning me. I could care less about your opinion. It still doesn't look like a bird. So stop trying to change our minds.
@Kyle Larkins Don't flatter yourself. When did I ever say it were a person? I said IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A BIRD TO ME. I could careless about what it actually is, and I'm not "doing research" on a movie I never liked to begin with. I'm here because I enjoy the content they upload. No more no less. Thank you.

This is just sad! I don't Blame her at all for dying on pills. She was addicted before she really knew what they were. I pray she's resting in Heaven. She went through alot!
The way they were treated was unbelievable.
Must say the headline for this story peaked my interest . Without a doubt, the truth behind this iconic movie reads like a horror movie and all of it could have been easily rectified even without today’s advancement. Next time this movie is on
I most certainly will see it in a different light. Great job EWU Crew ✨
But it’s too bad what you heard in this video was about 70% BALONEY and only 30% true.
I never knew any of this, I'm like wtaf????? I will never ever watch this film again. I'm so shocked and heartbroken by all this.
You really believe it all? Without the slightest skepticism? Listen, Judy Garland and the rest were *proud* of this movie and would be insulted by your words.
@@peterheimsoth159 I actually looked into it and it is mostly true. Everything gets exaggerated yeah, but they were treat horrendously. Before assuming anyone would be insulted by my words, I suggest you look into anything you doubt before throwing comments like this about.
@@crazycatmackem8967 Where did you look it up? The same exaggerations and lies are told all over the place. The biggest and most ridiculous lies are told about Judy's experience of making the film.
And I don't assume anything; from interviews given by the cast and crew in later years, they did love the film. Judy Garland recreated her Dorothy in 1950 for the Lux Radio Theater, Ray Bolger played the Scarecrow in many other projects, and Margaret Hamilton never lost an opportunity to sing the film's praises.
The only really reliable sources are the books "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz, with an introduction by Margaret Hamilton, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman with an introduction by Jack Haley, Jr., and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman.
Learning about Judy Garland & the casts treatment during the making of The Wizard of Oz was very disturbing. That disturbance turned into anger & the end result thereafter just before her death left me in overwhelming tears😭 The cast should've sued the ass off MGM whom I believe were just a bunch of cold hearted, tyrranic, self absorbed murderers. Just saying yet left convincingly so. God Bless them all as it was a fab movie well acted during their sufferance of it all🙏⚘⚘⚘ 🎶Somewhere, over the Rainbow 🌈 will always remind me of her & how well she sung it 💖 leaving her gifted voice through her daughter Liza Minnelli🎵
How awful.. never would have guessed or known how badly all the performers were treated and mismanaged.
My heart is broken.
Completely tarnished all the joy the film brought me as a child.
