'Oz' Gets Long-Awaited Munchkin Star on Walk of Fame
Jun 21st, 2007 · The munchkins from The Wizard of Oz are getting a star on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame. Ted Bulthaup, a theater owner in Woodridge, Ill., who led a campaign for the star, and 88-year-old Mickey Carroll, one of the munchkins, talk with Melissa Block. Bulthaup says he thought the munchkins had a "slam dunk" case for a Hollywood star, but it took longer than he thought to make it happen.
