Embarassing confession

Newsweek Video | Return to Oz: The Munchkins 70 Years Later

When I was in the fourth grade, I discovered a copy of "The Wizard of Oz" in the neighborhood library. I was spellbound. It was the first book I ever read, and it was the one thing that turned me on to a life of reading and writing. Years later, I found out that it was also this amazing movie.

Embarrassing confession: When I was in college, I was cast as one of the Lollipop Kids (even though I was six feet tall.) I think there might have been other resemblances.

Anyway, it was magical stuff. And that movie endures, 70 years later. Priceless.
