"As coroner I must aver I thoroughly examined her, And
she's not only merely dead, She's really, most sincerely dead. ... " (sung by Munchkin in Wizard of OZ)
The Munchkin Coroner in "Wizard" was played by a man named Meinhardt Raabe, a Milwaukee native who was 18 at the time of the filming. I had the pleasure of privately meeting Meinhardt in Kingsford, Michigan about 20 or so years ago. He was a great guy; took the time to talk to a friend and myself for over two hours, showed us his scrapbook (I held an autographed picture of Judy Garland in my own two hands), and generally thrilled two huge fans of the movie immensely. It is one of the top ten of my life experiences to date.
The kicker is I had made a first date with my future wife on this day and showed up at her parent's home a couple of hours behind schedule.
When asked why I was late for our date, I told my future wife that I had been with the Munchkin Coroner from the Wizard of Oz. That got a few weird looks, lemme tell ya'.......
True story.
