[quote=Anonymous]PP quoted. Great point. Something to be said about keeping your professional life just that.

Alright...since I’m here I’ll share another fact.

Margaret Hamilton, known forever as the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz was a former schoolteacher. She got into acting when she was (unusual for the time) a newly divorced mother with a very young son. [b]She was perhaps self-conscious of her “scary” image and appeared on Mr. Rogers to explain how she was NOT wicked  and was playing “ make believe.”[/b] As an older woman, she was cast in a long running Maxwell House commercials.[/quote]

Yes!  She also reprised her role as the wicked witch on a 1976 episode of Sesame Street.  It was highly controversial, as parents felt she was too scary for kids, and the episode never ran again.  It is apparently impossible to find and probably lost for good unless someone happened to record it the one time it aired.

I don’t know why this has always fascinated me![/quote]

Interesting about her background in education. Her granddaughter is a professor of Renaissance history.[/quote]
