Munchkin actor

Monty dies at 95

Harry Monty, who was believed to be the last surviving Munchkin from the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, has died. He was 95. Monty, whose real name was Hymie Lichenstein, died Tuesday in Beverly Hills.

Also a stuntman, Monty was one of the flying monkeys in the landmark Oz, which starred Judy Garland. He considered his role as a Munchkin the most memorable of his half-century on stage and on camera.
