On a 1950 Lux (soap) Theatre radio episode, Judy Garland did a reprise of her wolrd famous 1939 Dorothy role form the MGM classic but years later, and in part due to that the Wizard, Frank Morgan, was replaced by someone else, and several kof the many cartoon/raido voices, Hans Conreid and Herb Vigran were featured. A few here also know about it..I've heard it..rather interesting.
