#Frank Morgan

[hotvintagepoll]

Mary Wickes (Now Voyager, White Christmas, The Man Who Came to Dinner, The Music Man)—Mary Wickes was 6 feet of Raccoon energy- actually 5'10", but she delivered comic lines like she had just washed them in the creek for you. It's too bad the cutoff for propoganda is 1970 because as she continued working she leaned further and further into crabby and cantankerous comedy. (M*A*S*H IN 72 was a real turning point for her scrungle capacity)

Frank Morgan (The Wizard of Oz)—Frank Morgan is known for his illustrious career as grand older men who are also a little funny, including his five different parts in the Wizard of Oz. All five parts are weirdos. This explains him better than I can. [link to blogspot post]

This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

Mary Wickes:

If you need a woman who is "ordinary yet weird," Mary Wickes was the go-to for Hollywood from about the 30s on. with a crackling wit, a bony stature she made the most of, and just a fun presence for classic movies.

Frank Morgan:

I really enjoy this photo of Frank Morgan and George Gershwin mixing drinks behind the bar at the Biltmore Hotel, Havana, Cuba, 1935.

love when Dracula Daily is going on and people realize that Dracula is all of his own servants because then I get to remind everyone that Dracula is basically Frank Morgan as the Wizard.
