Buddy Ebsen was originally cast as the Tin Woodsman. The makeup for the Woodsman contained aluminum dust, which ended up coating Ebsen's lungs. He became so ill the role had to be recast and Jack Haley got the part.

In the scene when the Wicked Witch of the West leaves Munchkinland, On the second take, part of Margaret Hamilton's cape became caught in the platform when the burst of fire appeared. Her make-up heated up causing second and third degree burns on her hands and face. It was later discovered that one of the key components in her make-up was copper. The producers used the first take. Luckily she was able to continue in the role.
