Best Answer

It is unknown as to the origins of the character of Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the consensus tends to be that the character is modeled on Dorothy Louise Gage (June 11, 1898 - November 11, 1898). The little girl was the niece of Maud Gage Baum (March 27, 1861 - March 6, 1953). She therefore was the niece by marriage of author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). The Gage and Baum families were grieved by the tragic end to the beautiful infant's brave struggle to survive.
