Article: Judy Garland was molested by Wizard of Oz munchkins when she was 16, ex-husband says.
"Iconic silver screen actress Judy Garland was molested by men as old as 40 on the set of her breakout film, The Wizard of Oz, her ex-husband has claimed.
Writing about Garland’s on-set experiences in an unfinished autobiography about their 13 years of marriage, Sid Luft claimed Garland was repeatedly harassed by the actors playing the munchkins of Munchkinland, saying, “They thought they could get away with anything because they were so small.”
"Released in 1939, Garland was just 16 years old when she filmed The Wizard of Oz.
In Judy and I: My Life with Judy Garland Luft continued, "They would make Judy’s life miserable on set by putting their hands under her dress. The men were 40 or more years old.""
“She was married to the drugs before she met me, and she never really got divorced,” Luft write.
Garland and Luft had two children together and eventually divorced in 1965.
Tragically, Garland died from a barbiturates overdose just four years later aged 47. Luft died in 2005 aged 89.
