Your gingham gals have arrived in one of Oz's most famous technicolor scenes full of iconic lines, a pink and a green witch, over 100 Munchkins, and the first mention of the great and mysterious Wizard! Tara and EmKay have a LOT to discuss with their love for Billie Burke and her background, the special effect of transitioning from sepia to technicolor, Gowns by Adrian, and the beginnings of how the actors portraying the Munchkins found their way to the MGM lot! Stay tuned for LOTS more in Parts 2 and 3 dropping later this week!
