Eva Lee Kuney
Kuney in Penny Serenade, 1941
- ... that Eva Lee Kuney (pictured) was one of the children used to fill out the background of Munchkin scenes in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz? Source: "I often told her she was one of the forgotten Munchkins, because the studio hired a bunch of children whose efforts were ignored over the years to fill out 'Munchkinland' for 'The Wizard of Oz'."

New enough, long enough, QPQ provided, hook interesting and in article. No copyvio issues. Hook fact followed by inline citation to several sources with hook fact. One link to disambiguous link. Referenced. Image size and copyright passes. Always wondered where the munchkins came from. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:54, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory: thanks for the review! As our Munchkins article explains, about 120 of them were real midgets or dwarfs; only about a dozen were small children put in to fill up the back of the set. Yoninah (talk) 18:06, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
