Death of a Munchkin
The man who uttered the infamous words, “Follow the yellow brick road” in the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz, has died in his hometown of St. Louis Missouri. Mickey Carroll was 89 years old and died of natural causes.
In the movie, Carroll played the part of the Munchkinland “Town Crier,” marched as a “Munchkin Soldier” and was the candy-striped “Fiddler” who escorted the movie’s wide-eyed orphan, Dorothy Gale, played by Judy Garland, down the yellow brick road toward Emerald City.
