Behind The Scenes Secrets From The Wizard Of Oz

START SLIDESHOW

Did any of us go through childhood without watching and then obsessively re-watching The Wizard of Oz an embarrassing number of times? Come on, we know it wasn't just us - it's one of the best movies in Hollywood history! It truly has stood the test of time and continues to be watched all over the world.

Released all the way back in 1939, it's no surprise that the quality of the film is nowhere near the level of modern day cinema. However, this doesn't seem to bother most audiences and The Wizard of Oz is still a favorite in many households. Who can resist a young Judy Garland?

What most people don't realize is that some ridiculous stuff went down on this movie set. We're not kidding when we say your jaw will drop at some of the outrageous incidents that happened while filming. Sit back as we take you for a wild ride that is even more unbelievable than Oz.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
