Fred, I see your point about Kids...

Jerry, I hear Harvey Keitel is actually a VERY nice man and has helped a lot of beginning writers and filmmakers get a big break...

Kim, his butt appears naked in Taxi Driver, The Piano and Holy Smoke, as far as I know...

re: The Wizard of Oz, Buddy was not allergic to make-up; that was the first actor hired to play The Tin Man; who nearly died I believe from asphyxiation because of that silver-paint based make-up...Bert Lahr took over and presumably they found safer alternative. I cannot recall what happened with Ebsen but I think it was a last minute injury of some kind...
