@zeneade: It's that time of the year when I compile a list of classics that I watch every year as a tradition for myself, and The Wizard of Oz is on top of my list. #Repost @oldhollywoodmusicals The Cowardly Lion, played by Bert Lahr, sings “If I Were King of the Forest” in 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz”. This costume weighed 90 pounds and was very hot, especially under studio lights. Lahr would sweat so profusely that the costume would be soaked by the end of the day. There were two people whose only job was to spend the night drying it for the next day. #bertlahr #cowardlylion #thewizardofoz #ifiwerekingoftheforest
