Learn History Through Fiction: The Wicked Witch’s Famous Cackle

Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 Hollywood classic The Wizard of Oz, said that whenever she appeared at children’s events they always asked her to laugh like the witch. Her line, “I’ll get you, my pretty . . . and your little dog, too!” was ranked 99th in the 2005 American Film Institute survey of the most memorable movie quotes. Her son said his mother enjoyed the line so much, she used it in her real life too. Read more about the movie and Margaret Hamilton in A Brain. A Heart. The Nerve. (see NOVELS).
