What was the name of cowardly lion in Wizard of OZ?

Answer 1

In the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', the Cowardly Lion is a figment of Dorothy Gale's imagination. He occurs in the riotously colorful dream sequence of the movie. But his character is based on a character that Dorothy knows in her real life back in Kansas. And that character is the farmhand Zeke.

Answer 2

None of the three ( friendly Monster) characters ( i have coined the term for lack of a better word) has a given name, like say Brainiac or something like that. the actor involved in the Cowardly Lion role was, of course, Bert Lahr. one might argue there is something of a corny allegory like (Pilgrim"s Progress) or some allegorical yarns of the middle ages, where characters were in third-person quotation marks and really did not have distinct personalities- or for example, the fictional ( there is no proof it really occured except as a moral lesson)- Biblical Tale of the Good Samnaritan where there are three characters and their responses to the same problem, a man assaulted and beaten on the road, or as we would now say, a Mugging victim.

Answer 3

The Lion's tail was moved by my grandfather, Jack Ackerman, (uncredited) using a fishing line from above the sound stage.

Answer 4

He doesn't have a name per-say, his name is specifically 'Cowardly Lion', and has not been given another name it seems.

Answer 5

Because he was a lion and scared of everything.

Answer 6

Bert Lahr is it i believe.
