Judy Garland was 'groped' by Wizard of Oz Munchkins

Judy Garland was groped by actors playing Munchkins on the set of The Wizard of Oz, it's been claimed.
The actress, who was 16 when she played Dorothy in the classic film, said her life was made "miserable" by the short actors.
The claims have emerged in a memoir written by Garland's ex-husband Sid Luft. Luft died in 2005 and his unfinished memoir was never published, but excerpts have been obtained by The Sun.
"[The Munchkins] thought they could get away with anything because they were so small," he wrote.
" The alleged bad behaviour of the Munchkin actors in the 1939 film has become the stuff of legend. Garland, who died in 1969, once said they were "drunks".
The film's producer Mervyn LeRoy talked of having to call police to hotel orgies, and there was also a report one Munchkin had to be rescued from a toilet bowl after becoming drunk and falling in.
