Shirley Jane Temple [b. April 23, 1928]. But 20th Century Fox wouldn't release her to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. So MGM decided upon Judy Garland [June 10, 1922-June 22, 1969], whom they already had under contract.

Arguably Shirley Temple, who only acted in Juvenile roles- I believe she had the title role in Alice In Wonderland, which shows some similarities to Oz in starting out in reality and then transitioning to a fantasy world.
