The former husband of screen legend Judy Garland claims that the actress was molested by some of the 'munchkins' on the set of her classic film The Wizard of Oz.'
Sid Luft, who died in 2005, wrote in a recently uncovered memoir that Garland was groped by the grown men despite that fact that she was only 16 at the time.
'They thought they could get away with anything because they were so small,' wrote Luft according to The Sun.
'They would make Judy’s life miserable on set by putting their hands under her dress. The men were 40 or more years old.'
This is not the first time that mention has been made of inappropriate behavior by the munchkins on the set of Oz.
There were rumors at the time of 'dwarf sex parties' being held in the famous Culver Hotel (subsequently owned by John Wayne) where the actors who played the munchkins all lived during filming.
And there were also reports of wild evenings with rooms ransacked and drunken little people swinging from the rafters.
One horrified observer described the group as 'an unholy assembly of pimps, hookers and gamblers.'
Garland later described some of the munchkin actors by saying: 'They were drunks. They got smashed every night and the police used to scoop them up in butterfly nets.'

Never get in a knife fight with a midget. He’s got all the good cuts, and all you can do it try to stab him in the head.

Few can possibly imagine how sketchy, gritty, and non-glamorous life was the movie making business in LA in the 1930s and '40s. Not that the 50s and 60s were any better.
Can you imagine being groped by a munchkin? - gross.

This is apparently “real”, but it literally reads like one of the greatest cockeyed pieces of humor I’ve ever read.

I believe she had a long standing affair with Mickey Rooney (not a big man, he) from age 13 or so until she died.
