Outfitting The Wizard

Wardrobe crew for the film version of the Wizard Of Oz decided that they would troll Los Angeles used clothing stores in order to find elegant coats to outfit Frank Morgan the actor who was playing the wizard.

During filming the actor reached into one of the coats pockets, and he found a note. The note had been written by of all people Frank L. Baum who was the author of the book for which the movie was being filmed.

The producers were naturally shocked by such a coincidence! The studio did some research, and found that the coat chosen to be used for the wizard character had actually belonged to author Baum!
