Karl Slover was 21 years old when he auditioned for the "Wizard Of Oz" movie and met the other 123 little people with whom he worked through a grueling two-month production schedule. "Standing four feet four inches tall, I was the smallest Munchkin," recalls Karl. "I couldn't even reach the doorknob." He is best known for being the first trumpeter in the film, but that was only one of his four roles in it: he was also one of the Munchkin soldiers, the only sleepyhead boy in the nest of Munchkin eggs, and one of the singers who led Dorothy down the Yellow Brick Road. After completing the "Wizard of Oz" he joined the "Original World Famous Singers Midget Show" and sang and danced across America. He also appeared in several films. His advice for having a long life: "Just do the best you can. Enjoy what you have. Enjoy where you live. Most of all, remember what Judy Garland said in the movie: 'There's no place like home.'"
