Ray.... Day 2......


Didjaknow...
Ray Bolger was originally picked to be the Tin Man....
Buddy (Jed Clampett) Ebsen was picked to be the Scarecrow.....
Through Ray's badgering of the Studio bosses....
the roles were switched...and Ray got his dream role...
but...Buddy became allergic to the silver paint....
he had to drop out before it killed him....
which opened the door for Jack Haley to play the Tin Man.
Jack Haley's son (Jack Haley Jr.)
was married to Liza Minelli (Judy Garland's daughter)

Cool clip of Ray on "Whats My Line?"....
(check out a young Johnny Carson)


Worth the wait on this one.....
Judy (and Ray paired up) after Oz and before her drug/booze days...
in a great, humongous, musical sequence from "The Harvey Girls".
Heard of the song....not the movie....maybe on Netflix?


Ray with Bing and Marvin on Johnny....
