... "Beverly Hillbillies" star Buddy Ebsen was originally cast as the 'Tinman' in 1939's "The Wizard of Oz". The makeup was made with aluminum dust, which coated Ebsen's lungs and caused him to be hospitalized with respiratory issues. The role was recast with Jack Haley. Ebsen was furious with being ousted from production and MGM never offered a public reason for the change.
