Did The Munchkins Grope Judy Garland?
When you watch “The Wizard of Oz,” everyone looks so happy – especially Judy Garland. But if the memoirs of her ex-husband are to be believed, it was only a look.
In case you missed it, Sid Luft, who was her tour manager and film producer, claims in his recent discovered memoir that she was groped by the Munchkins on the set of the iconic movie. He said, “They thought they could get away with anything because they were so small. They would make Judy’s life miserable on set by putting their hands under her dress. The men were 40 or more years old.”
Luft was married to Judy from 1952 to 1965. He started writing the story of their lives together after their divorce. He died without finishing it in 2005. The unfinished book was found among his archives and has now been published as, “Judy and I: My Life with Judy Garland.” The book hits stores on March 1st.
