| | Frank Morgan |
 | | Frank Morgan, best known to all of us as The Wizard Of Oz, was in fact stage actor Francis ("Frank") Wuppermann, born in New York City in 1890 to a rich family famous for distributing bitters for cocktails (their product is still on the market to this day). |
 | | Frank Morgan trivia: One of Frank Morgan's most unusual roles was in the 1946 Nat Perrin comedy, The Great Morgan, where Frank actually played himself -- Frank Morgan, the bumbling character actor who decides MGM isn't treating him well enough, and so he takes movie-making into his own hands, with predictably disastrous results. |
 | | Morgan stars in three festival movies; TORTILLA FLAT on Saturday, July 19th, THE WIZARD OF OZ on July 31st and THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER on Saturday, September 4th. |
