* The true accounts of how actors recruited to portray the Munchkins - little people who, in many cases, had never even ''seen'' another little person before - found their experience of working with more than a hundred other little people to be a homecoming of sorts. Several performers first met their spouses-to-be on the Munchkinland set, and the feelings of community that developed among individuals with similar life challenges would give rise to the first advocacy group for persons with dwarfism.

* Meta example: Margaret Hamilton, the actress who played Mrs. Gulch[=\=]Wicked Witch of the West, was actually [[MeanCharacterNiceActor a very nice person in real life]] and loved children--she was worried about her character(s) in the movie being too frightening for children. Legend has it that when there was talk about possibly making a sequel, she turned down the offer to reprise her role because she didn't want children to be scared of her.

* This one takes a bit of thinking, but when Marvel finds out Dorothy is running away from home, he uses his so-called "crystal reading" abilities to tell her that Auntie Em is crying because she left, and that she's sick. Manipulative? Yes, but it's actually pretty sweet when you realize he's doing it to try and convince a young girl to go home.
