Actor Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Munchkin coroner in The Wizard Of Oz, is best known for the following line:
As coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her. And she's not only merely dead. She's really most sincerely dead.
He was 94. There aren't many Munchkins left. In 2007 there were just seven. But they brought delight to viewers for decades now.
In later years, he toured fan conventions and released a book, Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road, in 2005.Rest well.
The actor lived a full life after Oz. He was a pilot and an instructor in the Civil Air Patrol during World War II; He worked as a spokesman for the Oscar Mayer hot dog company for 30 years; and he was also a horticulturalist and teacher.
