You know its very odd to read of the death of an actor who died long before I was born... ( Frank Morgan)... who I didn't get to know until I was watching the Wizard of Oz. in the 60' a s a child, and about 20 years after his death. It's hard to wrap my head around that...

Agreed. Also, when I saw the notification about Frank Morgan I was surprised that he was only 59 when he died. So When I was a kid I thought the wizard was an old man.

In fact, he was only 39 when The Wizard of Oz was released!
