This clip is from an episode of \u201cThe Judy Garland Show\u201d that aired on March 1st, 1964 and featured Ray Bolger as a guest. Ray and Judy looked back on the film, and their memories of making it together. Everyone is always remembering the negative aspects about the production of Oz, but when I see clips like this, I remember how much love there was amongst the cast, despite the challenges on set. They loved the film and the story then, as much as we do today. I\u2019ll leave you with this quote from Ray Bolger to start your day, as it\u2019s one of my favorites\u2026<\/div>\n

\u201cI was brought up on the books of The Wizard of Oz and my mother told me that these were great philosophies. It was a very simple philosophy, that everybody had a heart, that everybody had a brain, that everybody had courage. These were the gifts that are given to you when you come on this earth, and if you use them properly, you reach the pot at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold was a home. And home isn\u2019t just a house or an abode, its people, people who love you and that you love. That\u2019s a home.\u201d – Ray Bolger, 1964<\/div>\n
