Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood… the Munchkins? Believe it or not, they will all be enshrined together in immortality when the little guys from The Wizard of Oz receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 20, 2007. The event will be the culmination of a long campaign begun by independent theater owner Ted Bulthaup of Woodridge, IL, with the assistance of Warner Bros., Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and other major players. The ceremony will take place at 11:30 am in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, with a spectacular entrance promised when the Munchkins ride up in a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by the Hollywood HIgh School Marching Band. Dorothy would be proud. To find out more about the event, or attend a special screening of The Wizard of Oz on Monday, November 19, visit http://www.hollywoodheritage.org.
