“Grandmargie, tell me story,” said little Margaret.
Margaret smiled at her young namesake. “What would you like to hear, sweetheart?”
The child climbed onto her lap. “Tell me about when you were young. What was it like acting in the movies back in the olden days?”
“It was great fun, and I made some lovely friends.” Margaret grinned. “Imagine my excitement when my agent called to tell me they were considering me for an important role in The Wizard of Oz. ‘Oh I’ve always loved that book,’ I said. ‘What part?’ And he said, “The witch, of course. What else?’”
She terrified generations of children. However, in reality, she started out as a kindergarten teacher who adored children…and their little dogs, too. 😉





I’ll admit I don’t take much notice of film stars. I am sure Margaret Hamilton played many parts in her acting career and with all the friends she made enjoyed every moment.
Rochelle, you always find these stories of people that make up our wonder world. Thank you.
