Gerald Marenghi Quotes

  • For me, it was meeting all the little people from all over the world. Not only the United States but from all over. A few of them came from Texas. You’d never believe that. I always thought only big tall men came from Texas and there they had about 10 little guys from Texas–I couldn’t believe it. I met other little people from Germany, France, Italy–they were from all over. There were over 120! — JM, describing the “Munchkins” experience while filming The Wizard of Oz.
  • We represent the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild and in the name of the Lollipop Guild we welcome you to Munchkin Land.
