    I know folks like sharing her “Who Goes Nazi?” piece, which is truly good, but it’s kinda wild that Dorothy Thompson, just a year prior to that piece, absolutely crashed out over a popular film you all have seen, and love, and compared it to Nazism.

    In 1928, a newly divorced Evelyn was having a live-in affair with newspaper columnist Dorothy Herzog but the relationship was outed. It’s speculation that the affair hurt Evelyn’s film career but after a string of vampy roles in hit films she had trouble finding good parts.

    October 15, 1938:  The initial scenes on the "Witch's Castle" sets were filmed for "The Wizard of Oz." At this point, Dorothy was still blonde, Buddy Ebsen was still the Tin Man, and the costume/makeup styles of all the principals were vastly different from what they would be in the finished film.
