With the recent death of Jerry Maren at age 98, there are no more munchkins alive.

I'm impressed that he lived so long. Most little people have a short life expectancy.
Anyway, 🍭 We welcome you from the Lollipop Guild!

I know, we lost a link to the movie. It's incredible that he lived so long. Margo said what I was thinking. Little people can sometimes have a lot of health problems.

And no sequel now either.

No more cast except for one of Judy Garland's body doubles.

Not all of the Munchkins were little people or midgets, some were little girls.

That's true. There are several Munchkins still alive as I recall, but I believe all the little people are gone now.
