Talk:Margaret Hamilton's Broomstick/@comment-5782071-20181008045052

Doing some witch-related research during witch she came up, I found out that during the filming of the "SURRENDER DOROTHY" scene (during which her first stunt double, Betty Danko, rode a large smoking pipe designed to look like the Witch's broomstick), the broom-pipe exploded during the third take and resulted in an 11 day hospital stay and permanent leg scarring.

I know neither Hamilton nor the actual broom were involved, but perhaps something like that could be incorporated into the effects?

(I wrote this comment first thinking it was Hamilton, not Danko, and now I've gone too far to recant my idea)
