Best Answer

Yes,

Nearly quit as the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz (1939) after a December 1938 accident in which she was severely burned during her dramatic exit from Munchkinland. The impressive special effect was achieved by her stepping onto a trap door (obscured by rising smoke) that dropped beneath her, and then a burst of real fire came up. On one take, the fire came too early, and her costume caught fire. She was off the film for more than a month. After she recuperated, she said "I won't sue, because I know how this business works, and I would never work again. I will return to work on one condition - no more fire work!".

this was from IMBD.

sorry but I think he had it even before this scene...when Dorothy, the TinMan and the Scarecrow are walking thru the forest singing Lions, Tigers and Bears, I believe the TinMan had his gun out also..this is right before they meet the Cowardly Lion...then they go to see the Wizard for the first time

Why did the wicked witch have to eat only liquids when filming the movie?

To keep from ingesting her make-up the actress who played the wicked witch had to take only liquids during the filming of "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 - May 16, 1985) had to beware of getting any of her green make-up and nose and chin extenders into her mouth. She dealt with the situation by sipping liquids through a straw. She therefore came out of filming unscathed by toxic make-up but seriously burned during the scene in which she lights a fire on the Scarecrow.
