There are only a few left I believe, and the ones that are I'm pretty sure charge for autographs as well as pictures. I'll see if I can find more info for you.

[musicfan]

YES THE LAST LIVING MUNCHKIN DIED LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO....SRY. BTW Thats My FAVORITE MOVIE. I ACTUALLY GOT A SIGNED OZ CARD FROM THE TRADING CARD COLLECTION... SO I WAS LUCKY!

[Selise]

Jerry Maren-lollipop kid
Margaret Pellegrini-sleepy head munchkin
Meinhardt Raabe-coroner
Karl Slover-Trumpeter

Jerry Maren (middle Lollipop Guild kid), Margaret Pellegrini (various Munchkin women), Clarence Swenson (soldier), and Meinhardt Raabe (the Coroner). Some of the young girls who played Munchkins are also still alive, as is Judy Garland double Caren Marsh-Doll.


clarence swenson died in febuary 25 2009

so Ruth Duccini, Jerry Maren, Olga C. Nardone, Margaret Pellegrini, Meinhardt Raabe and Karl Slover are the only surviving dwarf actors who portrayed Munchkins in the 1939 film
