Raabe Among Munchkins to Get Star

As they say in Hollywood, there are no small parts, only small actors.

Almost 70 years after "The Wizard of Oz" premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, a few of the film's Munchkins made a grand entrance there to receive the Hollywood Walk of Fame's 2,352nd star Tuesday. Seven of the surviving little people who played the inhabitants of Munchkinland in the classic 1939 movie attended the ceremony, arriving in a horse-drawn carriage and trailed by a marching band.

Among them was Meinhardt Raabe. Raabe is famous for uttering the line, "As coroner, I must aver, I thoroughly examined her. And she's not only merely dead, She's really most sincerely dead."
