Disambiguated questions and answers:
context: In the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy was played by Judy Garland, who received an Academy Juvenile Award for her performance. Since she was sixteen years old at the time of filming, Garland's maturing figure was bound into a figure-hiding corset. Since fantasy films generally were unsuccessful at that time, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer portrayed Oz as a head-trauma-induced delirium, instead of a real place. It is implied that Oz is merely Dorothy's dream since she awakens in bed at the end, though Dorothy is convinced that her journey was all in fact real.

context: Dorothy Dwan portrayed Dorothy in the 1925 film "Wizard of Oz". In this film, Aunt Em (Mary Carr) informs her on her eighteenth birthday that she was left on their doorstep and is really a princess of Oz destined to marry Prince Kynd (Bryant Washburn), who has currently lost the throne to Prime Minister Kruel (Josef Swickard), in a storyline similar to that of "His Majesty the Scarecrow of Oz", only with Dorothy as the love interest. In the end, the story proves to be the dream of a little girl who has fallen asleep listening to the story of Kynd and Kruel, said to be the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". The film also introduced the idea of the farmhands also being the Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman and Cowardly Lion, albeit as costumes they don in order to conceal themselves in Oz.

context: In Baum's 1902 stage musical adaptation, Dorothy was played by Anna Laughlin. In 1908 L. Frank Baum adapted his early Oz novels as "The Fairylogue and Radio-Plays", with Romola Remus as Dorothy. This was followed by "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", a motion picture short that Otis Turner, one of the directors of "Fairylogue", made without Baum as part of a contract fulfillment. In this 1910 film, Dorothy was played by Bebe Daniels. It was followed by two sequels (the same year), "Dorothy and the Scarecrow in Oz" and "The Land of Oz", both of which included Dorothy, but whether Daniels participated is unknown. Baum subsequently loosely adapted "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" into a 1914 motion picture directed by J. Farrell MacDonald titled "His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz" with Violet MacMillan as Dorothy.
