Question: is anyone from the wizard of oz still alive 2017

Answer: Yes, Gerard Marenghi (born January 24, 1920), known as Jerry Maren, is an American actor and the last surviving Munchkin of the classic 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz, in which he portrayed a member of the Lollipop Guild. He became the last known survivor of the Munchkin cast (there may be some child actors who played Munchkins who also are still alive), following the death of fellow Munchkin Ruth Duccini on January 16, 2014.
