If this writer isn’t trolling, he has no heart, no brains, a little courage.
He wants to get to the bottom of the allegation that a Munchkin molested Judy Garland during the filming of The Wizard of Oz.
The last surviving Munchkin is 98. Writer Gary Nunn, from down under, is on the case.
I’ve spent the best part of the last fortnight urgently trying to track down a 98-year-old former actor to ask him if he molested Judy Garland.
Garland was 16 when she starred in 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz. The claim she was molested by the actors who played the munchkins comes from the actress’s late husband, Sid Luft, in a re-released book (due out in September), Judy and I: My Life with Judy Garland. He reportedly writes:
“They’d make Judy’s life miserable on set by putting their hands under her dress … The men were 40 or more years old. They thought they could get away with anything because they were so small.”
Even the staunchest #MeToo applauder would, surely, agree that anyone accused of such an act deserves, at the very least, a right of reply. Especially if trial by media is to be the justice they’re served. To either apologise and attempt to atone for their acts, or to refute the allegations.
Those allegations he refuted in the past were very different. They were in response to the actors, in Judy Garland’s words, being “little drunks”. These new allegations are more serious — the sexual molestation of a minor, in the workplace.
Assault is assault, no matter whether it’s 1939 or 2018.
ht/ fdr in hell
Asked how he molested Judy Garland, Jerry Maren said that his friend “put him up to it.”
(Sorry for that.)
LOLOL.
Gary was probably dressed like Dorothy when He wrote this piece.
So, he was on her knees?
Sounds like a gem to plant, in the rehash of an old book they didn’t sell that did not do so well the first time.
It’s nothing more then the search for the perfect guilded lollypop….
Not saying she was or wasn’t abused by little people, but the greatest abuse of Judy was by her mother, the studio and her husband who all forced her to have an abortion.
Hollywood is a pedophiliacs wonderland. Always has been. Bunch of sick twisted mentally ill
progressive liberals.
He just wanted a little piece…
One of the dwarves’ biggest complaints was that they were paid less money than Toto, who played Dorothy’s dog. They said that because of this, they were always a little short before payday.
These were all circus people – not exactly the elite. Judy always recounted how awful they were.
I don’t doubt for a minute that this went on. I would imagine that somebody told them to stop but, with a limited supply of little people, no one was fired and they made a sick game of it.
Different time, different place.
Snow White had seven little dents on her hymen when she went for her prenup physical. Thanks to HIPAA laws, the Prince never knew.
@Ann Thracts: I had heard the “seven little dents” joke before, but the HIPAA reference was a nice twist on your part.

Garland really hated it when they ran their fingers through her hair
They couldn’t measure up to what she needed.
