The story of Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the East is told in the book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. The book was published in 1995. The stage script was published in 2003.
Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton played the witches in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Billie Burke (August 7, 1884 - May 14, 1970) played Glinda the Good Witch. Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 - May 16, 1985) played the Wicked Witch of the West. No one played the Wicked Witch of the East, of whom only the feet were shown sticking out from under Dorothy Gale's house.
Yes. Not too far from the beginning is the death of the Wicked Witch of the East by Dorothy's house landing on her. More towards the halfway point is the Shakespearean climax of the Wicked Witch of the West dying from Dorothy throwing a bucket of water on her.
Answer #1 There are only two witches in the movie, and their names are the Wicked Witch of the West and the Wicked Witch of the East. Answer #2 In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, there are four witches who actively influence the course of events. One is the Wicked Witch of the East. The Witch remains nameless in the book, and in the beloved 1939 film version. But decades later, readers find out the Witch's name. For Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] reveals the Witch's name as Nessarose Thropp. The Wicked Witch of the West is Dorothy's main enemy. Likewise, she remains nameless in the book, and the film. But, once again, thanks to Maguire, readers are able to give a name to the face. For the Witch's name is Elphaba Thropp.In the book, there are two Good Witches, of the North and of the South. The Good Witch of the North remains nameless in the book. But, in the 1902/1903 stage version, she has the name Locasta. Since there are inconsistencies between the book and the stage version, it's unknown whether the name is carved in stone. Also, in the book, the tale is told of Gayelette, the beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Is Gayelette the Good Witch in her youth? Or is this someone completely different? Also in the book, the Good Witch of the South is Glinda. But in the 1939 film version, and in Maguire's later contributions to the Royal Histories of Oz, Glinda is given the title of Good Witch of the North. And the position of Good Witch of the South is left vacant.
According to the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz', the nameless Wicked Witch of the East was flattened fatally by Dorothy Gale's farmhouse settling into the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. That also was the limit of the information that was provided to audiences by the beloved 1939 film version. But decades later, with the publication in 1995 of 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West', readers and viewers learned that the victim had a name as well as a title. For author Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] gave the Witch the name of Nessarose Thropp. The Wicked Witch of the East.
Böse is a literal German translation of the musical title 'Wicked'.
There well may be a film about the Wicked Witch of the East if the success of the musical 'Wicked' continues. Within the next couple of years, there may be a film version of the popular musical based on the popular book of the same title. Any film version will concentrate on the interaction between Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West; and on Glinda the Good. But just as in the play and the book, there's room for Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East.
Elphaba Thropp is the main character in 'Wicked'. The original story by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] so identifies her, by the action in the novel and by the very title of the book: 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. That importance is continued in the musical by lyricist/composer Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948] and screenwriter/poet/dramatist Winnie Holzman [b. 1954].

The Grimmerie
No, in the book; yes, in the film. Dorothy and her pet dog Toto - and her friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion - all have requests for the services of the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard says that he will fulfill the requests, in exchange for a service rendered by them on his behalf. That service is the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, in the book version by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919]. The service is the securing for the Wizard of the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West, in the posthumous 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz.
