Margaret Pellegrini - Munchkin

Margaret Pellegrini parlayed a small movie bit into the roll of her life when she appeared in the 1939 classic, "The Wizard of Oz". She was one of the 124 Munchkins who appeared in the movie.

Ms. Pellegrini, 89, died on August 7, 2013 at a Phoenix area hospital after suffering a stroke two days earlier. Her passing leaves only two of the original Munchkins.

She was 16 when she appeared in the movie as a "sleepy head" youngster who wore a flower pot on her head. She spent the rest of her life doing guest appearances in her costume and telling stories about her time as a Munchkin.
