Collect this trio of large-format, multi cast-signed iconic film still 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 photograph has been hand-signed by multiple original cast-members. This fantastic trio of film still photos features:
(1) Ray Bolger, in his role of the Scarecrow; Jack Haley, as the Tin Woodman; Judy Garland, in her landmark role of Dorothy; and Bert Lahr, as the Cowardly Lion. (Signed by 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; Ruth Duccini, in her role as a villager; Mickey Carroll, who played a fiddler, a town crier, and a soldier; and Donna Stewart-Hardway, who, at only six years old, was the youngest Munchkin on the Hollywood set.)
(2) Billie Burke, as Glinda the Good Witch; Judy Garland as Dorothy; and part of the cast of Munchkins. (Signed by Mickey Carroll, Karl Slover and Donna Stewart-Hardway)
(3) Judy Garland as Dorothy, with Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow. (Signed by Jerry Maren, Karl Slover, Ruth Duccini, Mickey Carroll, and Donna Stewart-Hardway.)
The signatures on each photo have been examined and authenticated by James Spence Authenticaton (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.
