    Judy was the star of the movie, but Margaret gave that film LIFE. Gave more than a few kids nightmares with her performance. Such a great actress!

      Very well said, Sam - absolutely. And it wasn't just how she delivered her lines, which were a master class unto themselves, but how she carried herself, the hand gestures, her eye movements, the way she turned, how she moved with her costume - the full embodiment of that character, which she made a commanding presence in every scene she was in. The biggest crime of The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is that they never gave the great Margaret Hamilton an honorary Oscar, like they did Judy, but which she fully deserved. They could now, though, posthumously - if there was any year to do it, it would be this one with this being the 85th Anniversary of the film, as well as all the renewed interest in Oz, given WICKED - and her only child, her son Hamilton Meserve, is still alive at 88yo and he could accept it on her behalf (and if he's too weak to travel, he and his wife gave Margaret three grandchildren).

      @@broddybounce In the very few minutes of screen time that she had as Miss Gulch, she presented such a vibrant, complete character- a repressed Victorian era-ish spinster that you could (almost) feel sorry for, which segued seamlessly into the Witch characterization. A crime that the Academy didn't acknowledge it, but you know what? She doesn't need it. The legendary status can never be taken away.

    Judy Garland said she had a hard time being scared of The Wicked Witch of the West, because of how kindhearted Margaret Hamilton was outside of the character. ❤

      Very definitely, and she was a confidante for Judy who (like a good mom) looked out for her during the filming and production of the movie, helping her navigate and steer clear of people who tried to take advantage of her, to the extent she could. Great, great lady.

      Absolutely. One of the reasons I abhorred the stage play 'Wicked' back in the 2000's, and now again of course with the new film. A bad attempt to cash-in on the classic film. Even Hollywood isn't stupid enough to try to remake it. 'The Wiz' was terrible and I don't even count that at all. Still, it was an effort (in 1978) to do so as well.

    I'm doing a little bit of math and realizing that on this show, Margaret Hamilton was in her late 60s in 1968, nearly 30 years after the Wizard of Oz and STILL she could produce that iconic witch's laugh on the spot! Incredible.

    It's amazing to see them being so friendly when you remember The wizard of oz in which Judy Garland is the heroine and Margaret Hamilton the evil witch.
    But when you know that during the making of The wizard of oz, Margaret Hamilton was Judy Garland's only friend (Judy Garland said that Margaret Hamilton was like a mother for her), that's explain a lot of things.

    • @chgoboy69

      Yes, Maggie was a good friend to Judy. Maggie recalled that a very excited Judy showed her a dress that Judy was going to wear to her high school graduation, just like a normal teenager, something Judy had never been able to be. Later Maggie heard that Judy was sent by the Studio on a promotional tour for the film, so the graduation never happened for Judy which made Maggie sad since Judy was so looking forward to it.

    Miss Hamilton was a guest speaker at my alma mater (UConn) in 1979. Naturally, she talked about how she got the role of the Wicked Witch and mentioned her first line. When someone in the audiende yelled, "Do it!", she obliged with, "Who killed my sister?" Naturally, we all applauded. She was a very pleasant lady at 77.

    think about all the video that was lost due to "tape wiping" that was prevalent at the time in the 60s and 70s due to the high cost of videotape, and many were erased and reused. the cost of storing archival footage was also prohibitive, so there was less of a demand to preserve these broadcasts.
