Unless I am mistaken, the issue of age was never directly factored into the Wizard orf Oz plot. I don"t believe it was mentioned in the book. It was understood she was living on the farm of her relatives and was an orphanl. The incident that erupted into the Cyclone took place in the Summer, when she was off from school. Other than that, no real chronological references are made in this fantasy. The leading male characters sort of good-guy monsters, Bolger, Haley, and Lahr ( actors) do not have real names in the story or film. This should raise suspicions right off the bat.

How did Dorthy in The Wizard of Oz make herself believable?

Since Judy Garland was a teenager attempting to portray the 9-year-old Dorothy (from Baum's book) she had to have her breasts bound to flatten them, giving her the appearance of being much younger than she actually was. The pony-tails and Gingham dress helped make her look younger in years as well.

Was Wizard of Oz in color?

The very first film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz was actually a silent, black-and-white film released in 1925. However, the 1939 MGM movie is more famous. If you look closely at the credits, you can see that the movie was filmed using Technicolor film technology. Because this was more expensive than black and white film, color film was not used widely until a few decades later. It simply was not economical to produce every film in color.

Who plays the title character in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 - June 22, 1969) plays the title character in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the film's title character is Dorothy Gale. There is no information in original 1900 book edition as to Dorothy's age other than the illustrations. The illustrations make her look like she is elementary school age. Those involved in the filming opted for an age of 11-12 years old. Judy was the ultimate choice because of her clear complexion, petite appearance, and vast dramatic experience as actress, dancer and singer.


In the book 'The Wizard of Oz' how old is Dorothy?

Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] gave no information as to the age of Dorothy Gale in his original book. But the illustrations could be interpreted as giving her an age of no younger than 6. Frances Ethel Gumm ka Judy Garland [June 10, 1922-June 22, 1969], who played Dorothy in the 1939 film version, was 16 years old at the time of filming. But she was made to look like 12.


What happened to the jitterbug scene in the Wizard of Oz?

The deleted Jitterbug scene was originally part of a sub-plot in the Wizard of Oz involving two characters named the Grand Duke of Oz and Princess Betty. The song was composed by E. Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen to show off Judy Garland's jazzy style of singing. The sub-plot did not survive, but the song made it further, only to be cut in early previews of the film. Look for a rough film of the song & dance on YouTube.
