The Singer Midgets played the Munchkins in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, Viennese businessman and entertainer Leopold von Singer (May 3, 1877 - March 5, 1951) formed a troupe of diminutive performers whom he recruited throughout Europe and then the United States of America. He gave them all eminently employable skills as acrobats, dancers, singers and wrestlers. He therefore had no problems getting them jobs playing the diminutive Munchkins of the land of Oz.
