Margaret Hamilton was memorable as the Wicked Witch of the West.
But the iconic role proved a painful one in this scene.
During her disappearance through a trap door in the floor...
...a burst of flame was ignited too soon.
She received 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her face and hand.
Hamilton returned to work after recuperating for six weeks...
...but staunchly refused to do any more fire-related scenes.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
