Hillary returned them - perhaps she gained so much weight they don't fit any more?

Josh Gates did a whole hour on this in his show ‘Expedition Unknown.’ He didn’t find ‘em.

I was unaware there was more than one pair. I’ve seen the pair in the Smithsonian. I thought they were the only pair.

OMG!

I am so glad they have been found!

The resources that were wasted on this search have been well worth the expenditure.

I would be glad to see my tax money wasted on such a thing, over and over, if need be, 'cause, after all, knowing where a pair of damned shoes that some bimbo actress wore in a stupid movie is so very important.

We have some real priorities in this country, do we not?

Makes me proud.

I worked for years at a very famous hospital.I was told by two people who were in a position to know that Judy Garland was secretly admitted to our hospital several times after a mental breakdown.Although I never saw it (it happened before I was hired there) it has the ring of truth to it 1) because it's well known that JFK was secretly treated there for Addison's disease and 2) Saudi royalty routinely came there for treatment (I actually *saw* them several times).

No evidence that she brought her ruby slippers with her,however.

“The Wizard of Oz” was Hollywood’s first “chick flick.” It’s the story of two women who fight to the death over a pair of designer shoes.

What good were they to Hillary? Especially after her broom up and quit on her for overwork...

All seriousness aside...

Glad to see the FBI is handling important criminal matters in the USA.

Judy Garland was abused by the Hollywood system over and over again.

Usually, a studio’s stars would make 2-3 pics then get lots of time off.

Judy was kept working round the clock ...... the reason?
A Garland movie guaranteed the studio a big payoff so they kept her working.

Seems to me her only recourse to get some rest was to fake a breakdown...... and spend time in a hospital

The studio also kept feeding her pills....to wake her up for the early hoots .....and pills to put her to sleep when they finally let her go home.

She was also on diet pills b/c the studios went nuts when she gained weight.

When she did personal appearances at luncheons and dinners, the studio watchdogs would not let her eat.

Those flying monkeys were so obviously fake even to a little tyke back in the 60s. Hated the movie and never understood why my parents insisted I watch it every year.
