Bolger's studio contract stipulated that he would play any part the studio chose; however, he was unhappy when he was cast as the Tin Man. The Scarecrow part had already been assigned to another lean and limber dancing studio contract player, Buddy Ebsen

Ray Bolger was originally cast as the Tin Woodsman, but changed his mind to play the Scarecrow - in recognition of his childhood idol Fred Stone (who had originated the stage role in the early 1900s). He claimed a pre-existing verbal agreement.

Kitkatz - Buddy Ebsen had been cast as the Scarecrow, and now switched roles with Bolger. But the aluminum powder makeup for the Tin Woodsman was toxic and Ebsen apparently had an allergic reaction to it as well. He left the picture, but his voice can still be heard in "Off to see the Wizard".

Silence of the Lambs was only the 3rd movie to win all 5 major Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay).
What are the other two movies?

There is a bridge that links East Point, Florida to Apalachicola, Florida. Who is it named after, and what did he invent (makes him a hero to dialysis patients)?

John Gorrie Bridge.

In 1849, Apalachicola physician Dr. John Gorrie (1802-1855) discovered the cold-air process of refrigeration and patented an ice-machine in 1850, as the result of experiments to lower the temperatures of fever patients, laying the groundwork for modern refrigeration and air-conditioning. The city has a monument to him, and a replica of his ice machine is on display in the John Gorrie Museum.

You got it Wattle!

When we were driving over that bridge, Mom told me about Gorrie and the ice machine, I immediately thought of this thread!
