When she died, she left him an estate of apx. $50 million.

He also won a large lawsuit from PBS, who tried to rip him off. He invented the short clip and turned it into his show "Elephant Parts", snippets of original comedy, starring comedians before they were famous. He won another $50m from PBS, as PBS tried to steal his work.

The paint used on the Tin Man contained aluminum powder landing Buddy Edson in the Hospital and replaced, the Cowardly Lion’s costume was made from a real Lion’s Hide, the witch was severely burned from a failed pyrotechnic trick; Toto’s foot was broken when stepped on and can be seen limping.

Weren’t there also suicides on the set?

No, that is a myth.

Actually, I think in one scene you can see where a stage hand accidentally hung himself on set?

No, still a myth/urban legend.

You can hear that stagehand's scream in the background on the single for "Love Rollercoaster".

Yeah she is a very private person. Alexis is her stage name (her middle name), not her first name she uses in real life (Kim). That probably helps with privacy too. Keeping her son out of the public eye for 5 years is a feat. Her and her husband could give lessons on how to be famous and maintain a private life.

Never heard of her....so good job

My friend had a one night stand with Jennifer Grey after her botched nose job changed her looks.

In morning she said as a joke how does it feel to sleep with a celebrity? He said I never slept with one. He has no clue. She threw him out.

People forget a few years after nose job she was out of work and most people no clue who she was.

Not really. Alexis and her now ex husband are not that famous.

But it does highlight how lower level stars like Bledel are full of it when they say they can't have a private life. They can they just don't want to
