Viewers must remember that actors don’t have to jump out of a plane to do something dangerous. Sometimes, especially in the days of Old Hollywood, even the costumes they wore could be life-threatening.
The production of the classic Wizard of Oz was full of cruel and unsafe practices. Buddy Epsen’s Tin Man costume was made with aluminum paint. He had such a violent reaction to the material that he had to be hospitalized for days after his lungs began to fail. He continued to feel the effects afterward.
His replacement Jack Haley faired only slightly better. He got an eye infection that lasted for days from the next attempt at the Tin Man costume.
Margaret Hamilton, a likable character actress, was brought on to play the Wicked Witch of the West. Bett Danko was one of her stunt doubles. They put their bodies on the line as well. Playing with fire in many of the film’s most memorable scenes left them with major burns.
It isn’t always the way scenes were filmed that left actors with lasting physical effects. It’s also where they were filmed.
69 people died on the set of The Conqueror and many more got cancer. It may have even contributed to the death of Johnny Cash. They filmed too close to a nuclear testing site.
The same thing happened during Litte House on the Prairie. It’s not definite if the radiation caused the death of Michael Landon, but it couldn’t have helped.
