Week 3A - Snopes

Ever since I was a little kid, I loved watching The Wizard of Oz. There was just something about all the characters that made it special. But as I grew older I heard stories about the legendary movie. One being that the people who played the munchkins partied the entire time they were there. Another one was that a munchkin committed suicide while the Tin man, Dorothy, and the Scarecrow are dancing down the Yellow Brick Road. In the background, through the trees, you can see movement. At first, it looks like somebody who hanged themselves, but if you look closer it's a bird. On the set, they brought in birds to give it more of a jungle feel, and munchkins weren't even at the studio filming this part of the movie.
