If you\’re headed to the wonderful Land of Oz sometime this summer, you might notice there\’s no one there to welcome you!  Jerry Maren, the last adult Munchkin in the movie, \”The Wizard of Oz\” has passed away.  (Now, when I say adult Munchkins, it\’s because there are some former child actors who portrayed Munchkins in the movie still alive.)

Maren played one of the members of \”The Lollipop Guild\”, and was the Munchkin who handed Dorothy the giant lollipop when she arrived to Oz.
