Original Munchkin Meinhardt Raabe 1915-2010

Normally, we don't do write ups for those that scare us. This guy deserves one.
He was 94 and was one of the few surviving Munchkins from the 1939 film, "Wizard of Oz."
Raabe portrayed the diminutive Munchkin official who solemnly pronounces the witch dead after Dorothy's farmhouse lands on her: "As coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her, and she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead."
Raabe was about 3½ feet tall when the movie was made. He eventually grew to about 4½ feet. He toured the country for 30 years in the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, promoting hot dogs as "Little Oscar, the World's Smallest Chef."
