Short and Sweet: The Life and Times of the Lollipop Munchkin

Jerry Maren is perhaps the most famous little person alive. When he moved from Boston to California and MGM Studios to work as the Lollipop Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz, he was still in his teens yet only 3-feet tall."Short and Sweet" is a richly illustrated, tell-all memoir of an amazing career that has spanned more than 60 years. With a candid narrative and engaging manner, Maren tells of: how he ended up in Hollywood; life on the set of The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland and up to 120 other little people; what it was like to work with the Marx Brothers; touring with the USO show during WWII; the truth behind the rumours of wild parties and drunken orgies; working in television with the likes of Jimmy Durante, Lucille Ball and Andy Williams; performing at the White House dressed as Freddy the Frog; and, much, much more.
