Karl ka Charlie Becker [ November 24, 1887-December 28, 1968] played the Mayor of the Munchkins in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. He started out in life as a butcher in Germany. But at the age of 19, he made a career move into participating in traveling midget shows in his native Germany. He ended up as a member of the midget agency that Leopold von Singer [May 3, 1877-March 5, 1951] formed for European audiences. Subsequently, the Singer Midgets moved with their owner to the United States of America. Once there, they performed in vaudeville and in movies.
