4. The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Trending
This classic film’s production was riddled with health hazards. The original Tin Man actor, Buddy Ebsen, suffered a severe reaction to aluminium powder makeup, forcing him to drop out. Margaret Hamilton, playing the Wicked Witch, sustained burns during a pyrotechnics accident, and her green makeup was reportedly toxic, thus requiring extreme care to remove. Additionally, the heat from the studio lights caused the Cowardly Lion’s costume to smell unbearable, adding discomfort to the already taxing shoot. Despite the challenges, the film’s legacy endures as a timeless masterpiece.
