An artists rendering of Mickey Carroll (or really any midget) in 1978

Today we mourn the loss of Mickey Carroll, he was 89.

Let’s see, why was he famous? I know I have it around here somewhere. . . . Oooooooh, wait a second. . . . Seriously. . . . Yahoo actually reported this???

He was the last remaining Munchkin from The Wizard Of Oz? Is there anyone other than the Wicked Witch of the West who gives a midget’s shit about this? OK, maybe Warwick Davis (Who you may better know as Willow, who is currently in preproduction for a movie called Short Fellas. No, I’m not making this up. Seriously, it’s called Short Fellas. I know, I know, he’s a midget, it’s a funny name).

Do you want to know what Mickey Carroll did AFTER The Wizard of Oz? I’m sure he has a long full body of work (pun intended) that warranted The Associated Press and Yahoo jumping at the chance to report this. NOPE, that’s it! Wizard of Oz: 1939, Long Life Being Mistaken as a Child Wondering If There Is Really A God: 1939-2009.
