Francis Phillip Wuppermann ka Frank Morgan [June 1, 1890-September 18, 1949] began his film career, in 1916, with the silent film The Suspect. He became known for playing good-hearted but confused older men. He became an Oscar nominee, with his leading role in The Affairs of Cellini, in 1934; and with his supporting role in Tortilla Flat, in 1942. Morgan became so popular with his role in The Wizard of Oz that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer gave him a lifetime contract. Other films in which he acted included Saratoga, in 1937; Sweethearts, in 1938; The Mortal Storm, and The Shop Around the Corner, in 1940; Honky Tonk, in 1941; The Human Comedy, in 1943; Kismet, and The White Cliffs of Dover, in 1944; The Courage of Lassie, in 1946; The Three Musketeers, in 1948; and The Stratton Story, in 1949. His last movie was Key to the City, which was released posthumously. He died, from a heart attack, while filming Annie Get Your Gun.

Irving Lahrheim ka Bert Lahr [August 13, 1895-December 4, 1967] was a respected actor of film and stage. On screen and on stage, he excelled at musicals, with his first stage success Hold Everything! in 1928-1929, and his first film Flying High in 1931. But other than The Wizard of Oz, his acting career tended more towards stage and theater, less towards films and TV. For example, he played Queen Victoria in Two on the Aisle. In 1956, he had the co-starring role in Waiting for Godot. And in 1964, he won the Tony Award, for his leading role in the musical Foxy. In fact, in terms of movies, his other impacting role was in 1944, with Meet the People. In that film, Lahr said the subsequently much quoted line, Heavens to Murgatroyd! In terms of TV, he appeared in Anything Goes, and Let's Face It; and on an episode of The Eleventh Hour medical drama. He was a mystery guest on What's My Line? And he became known for his performances in TV commercials, most especially for Lay's potato chips with his challenge, Betcha can't eat just one!
