Margaret Hamilton: December 9th, 1902 - May 16th, 1985
Margaret Hamilton, who flew a broomstick to fearsome fame as the Wicked Witch of the West in the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” died today in a Connecticut nursing home.
Miss Hamilton, 82, apparently succumbed to heart failure, according to Joan Luning, nursing supervisor at Noble Horizons in Salisbury, where the retired actress had been under care for nearly a year.
“She was a very pleasant, very happy woman who never put on any airs,” Luning said.
And in Beverly Hills, Ray Bolger, last survivor among the featured players in the 1939 film, commented: “She was a terrifying villain in the picture, but an angel in life.”
A Serious Actress
Although admired as a serious actress and an accomplished comedienne for years before and after “Oz,” it was her role as the green-faced, consummately evil witch with features as pointy as her conical witch’s hat, that made her a movie immortal. Future generations would remember her cackling screech as she pursued poor little Judy Garland (Dorothy) and her eccentric friends along the Yellow Brick Road.
Oddly, although she was a nightmare figure in the movie--goading her ghastly flying hench-monkeys to commit the most dastardly deeds--she also was able to stir sympathy in her audience. Even Dorothy herself seemed horrified when she dashed water on the Wicked One and the witch slowly dissolved into a puddle of nothingness, moaning “What a world . . . what a world. . . . “
“I didn’t mean to kill her!” Dorothy cried.
Appeared at ‘Oz’ Festivals
In later years, Miss Hamilton became the center of an admiring cult, often appearing at “Wizard of Oz” festivals across the country. “Somebody in Chillicothe would want to put on something about Oz, and she would just jump on her broom and get there,” Bolger said this morning.
In a 1977 interview, Miss Hamilton said that she received--and faithfully answered--as many as 2,000 letters a year from children who knew her from television reruns of the famous film.
This condition could have made the witch feel as though she was melting when in fact if the water was removed the rash should fade within thirty to sixty minutes, nevertheless by this point Dorothy had clicked her heels and was home in Kansas!
With her demise, a sense of tranquility and harmony can be restored in the land. It is worth noting that the wicked witch of the west's demise not only brings relief but also serves as a source of inspiration. It reminds us that evil can be conquered and that justice will prevail. This serves as a valuable lesson, encouraging us to stand up against evil and fight for what is right. In conclusion, the wicked witch of the west's death signifies the end of an era dominated by darkness and malevolence. Her demise brings relief and peace to the people, while also serving as a reminder of the power of good triumphing over evil. The wicked witch of the west may be deceased, but her legacy will forever remain in the annals of folklore and popular culture..
