FOR SALE IS ONE (1) COLOR PICTURE FROM The Wizard of Oz AUTOGRAPHED BY KARL SLOVER. THIS AUTOGRAPH WAS GIFTED TO ME BY KARL SLOVER IN THE LATE 1990s WHILE STAYING IN A MYRTLE BEACH, SC HOTEL. WITH HIS FEMALE ASSISTANT, WE WOULD EXCHANGE PLEASANTRIES ON THE ELEVATOR 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK AS WE WERE DEPARTING THE HOTEL PROPERTY. HE WAS IN TOWN ON WORK AT AN AUTOGRAPH SHOW, MAYBE WIZARD OF OZ CELEBRITIES, A THEME OF THAT NATURE. KARL WAS A SUPER NICE GUY AND QUICK TO LET ME KNOW HE WAS A LITTLE PERSON, NOT A MIDGET. THIS KARL STOVER AUTOGRAPH IS ON A THICK STOCK PICTURE OF THE SLEEPYHEADS FROM THE WIZARD OF OZ MOVIE FROM 1939. KARL STOVER WAS ALSO IN A COUPLE OF OTHER SCENES TOO. I DID NOT WITNESS THE SIGNING OF THE AUTOGRAPH BUT REMAIN CONFIDENT IT IS LEGITIMATE AND APPEARS TO BE *ON* THE PICTURE IN BLUE SHARPIE PERMANENT MARKER, NOT A REPRODUCTION. IN OTHER WORDS THIS IS A REAL AUTOGRAPH BY KARL STOVER SCRIBED IN BLUE SHARPIE ON THE PICTURE. THAT'S MY STORY... KARL SLOVER WAS A SLOVAKIAN BORN ACTOR KNOWN FOR PORTRAYING SEVERAL MUNCHKIN ROLES IN THE 1939 FILM THE WIZARD OF OF. STANDING 4 FEET 4 INCHES, HE PLAYED THE LEAD TRUMPETER, A SOLDIER, A SLEEPYHEAD, AND ONE WHO ESCORTED DOROTHY ALONG THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, AND POSSIBLY OTHERS TOO. KARL SLOVER DIED IN 2011 AT AGE 93. YOU WILL RECEIVE ONE (1) NEW, AS PICTURED, SHIPPED BY USPS.... Born Karl Kosiczky on September 21, 1918, in what is now Slovakia, Slover faced a challenging childhood due to dwarfism. His father sold him to a circus troupe at age 9, leading to travels across Europe and eventual immigration to the U.S., where he performed with the Singer Midgets. He legally changed his surname to Slover from his stage manager and became a U.S. citizen. Slover joined The Wizard of Oz at 21 after MGM sought little people for the Munchkin roles, enduring a grueling two-month shoot with 124 others. He earned about $50 weekly, less than Judy Garland's dog Toto, and later appeared in films like The Terror of Tiny Town (1938). Post-Oz, he toured with midget shows until 1942. ?In retirement, Slover embraced his fame, attending Oz festivals, Hollywood events like the 2007 Munchkin Walk of Fame star unveiling, and giving interviews. One of the last surviving Munchkins, he outlived most of the 124 cast until his death from heart issues on November 15, 2011, in Georgia.
