I had met Margaret Hamilton and knew her fairly well. Once, when she was in my apartment in New York for dinner, she disclosed some trivia facts regarding her role in "The Wizard of Oz." For one, she said she was absolutely terrified of having to disappear in a sulfur-based cloud of smoke. With split-second timing she had to find a very small square in the floor of the set and stand on it as the smoke issued around her while she was quickly lowered out of the scene. She had a terrible fear of missing the square and falling into the area below. To make matters worse, several takes were required and she was greatly relieved when it was over. A most gracious lady, she loved to talk about the film.
