‘Oz’ Munchkin dies; only two remain

PHOENIX

Margaret Pellegrini, one of the original Munchkins from the 1939 classic movie “The Wizard of Oz,” has died. She was 89.

Pellegrini suffered a stroke Monday at her Glendale home and died Wednesday at a Phoenix-area hospital, said Ted Bulthaup, a Woodbridge, Ill., resident who owns a Chicago theater where Pellegrini and other Munchkins have made special appearances. With her death, only two of the original 124 Munchkins in the movie are still alive.

Pellegrini has said she was 16 when “Oz” was filmed. She played one of the “sleepy head” kids and wore a flowerpot on her head in the movie.
