Shirley Temple was considered for the role but the studio she was under contract to would not release her.

I also heard that before Judy got the role Deanna Durbin was considered for the role of Dorothy but she didn’t want to do it because Judy wanted it

@jessicahoward4929

She was a very good actor. I don’t know why she accepted that amount. I wouldn’t have. She deserved way more money than that, but that goes to show. She’s a down-to-earth woman and money doesn’t matter to her.

Ok so for a 16 year old you usually gain up to $3000 for a movie but back then $500 was worth  about $8,000

I've seen like so many of these with the same facts like when is there something I didn't know about the Wizard of Oz?

@GoingCoconuts

Judy apparently begged vety much for that role. Obviously Shirley Temple was the better choice.

I cannot talk to yall anymore. I'm not suppose to be talking to yall anymore.

@beth-ny2th

A diet of cigarettes to slim her down?😂

@EmersonPaul-nk6xd

She was 16?! She looked at least 21

@stevet8121

Toto was treated better than her.

@helRAEzzzer

They paid the more well-known actors more money!? How horrible! sarcasm
