IDK about this, but the Tin Man that’s in the movie was the second choice for actor. The first one almost died from the aluminum powder that was in the paint. The Wicked witch’s paint was copper based, so she was on a liquid diet the whole time. She also burned the shit out of herself during that first scene with the smoke and fire. Then of course Judy Garland was given all sorts of shit to fuck her up.
I also believe the Scarecrow’s costume was woven asbestos, as was the bristle part of the wicked witches broom.
Lead paint on Tin Man, too.

Thank you! This is what I was trying to remember!
