Collect this trio of large-format, multi cast-signed iconic film still and publicity photographs, from the legendary film The Wizard of Oz!
Widely considered one of the greatest films of all time, MGM's classic 1939 extravaganza The Wizard of Oz is, according to the Library of Congress, the most seen film in movie history.
Each black & white and tonal photograph has been hand-signed by multiple original cast-members. This fantastic trio of film still photos features:
(1) Billie Burke as Glinda the Good Witch, and Judy Garland, in her landmark role as Dorothy Gale, in Munchkinland among many of the key Munchkins and amidst a large number of the Munchkinland inhabitants. (Signed by Mickey Carroll, who played a fiddler, a town crier, and a soldier; Jerry Maren, who played the green-garbed member of the “Lollipop Guild”, handing a lollipop to Dorothy Gale; Karl Slover, whose roles in the film included the lead trumpeter, a soldier, a "sleepyhead", and a villager; and Donna Stewart-Hardway, who, at only six years old, was the youngest Munchkin on the Hollywood set.)
(2) A Wizard of Oz publicity photo, with cast members (left to right), Bert Lahr, as the Cowardly Lion; Jack Haley, as the Tin Woodman; Judy Garland, in her landmark role of Dorothy; Frank Morgan as the eponymous Wizard of Oz; and Ray Bolger, in his role of the Scarecrow. (Signed by Mickey Carroll, who has inscribed “Munchkin” below his signature; Karl Slover, who has added “1st Trumpeter”; Jerry Maren, adding “Lollipop kid”; and Donna Stewart-Hardway.)
(3) Billie Burke, as Glinda the Good Witch; Judy Garland as Dorothy; and part of the cast of Munchkins. (Signed by Donna Stewart-Hardway; Karl Slover, who has included “1st Trumpeter” below his signature; Jerry Maren, adding “Lollipop kid”; Ruth Duccini, who played the role of a villager; and Mickey Carroll.)
The signatures on each photo have been examined and authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA), and the trio of signed photographs comes with three Certificates of Authenticity from JSA, one for each photograph.
Filmed in Technicolor, The Wizard of Oz was an adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's fantasy novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The film was primarily directed by Victor Fleming (who left the production to take over the troubled Gone with the Wind), and was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, winning in two categories: Best Original Song for "Over the Rainbow" and Best Original Score by Stothart.
The Wizard of Oz was selected by the U.S. Library of Congress as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". It is also one of the few films on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. It was among the top ten in the 2005 British Film Institute’s list of "50 films to be seen by the age of 14", and is on the BFI's updated list of "50 films to be seen by the age of 15" released in May 2020.
