Liza Minnelli:
Mama once told me MGM seemed obsessed with Shirley Temple. They even offered 20th Century Fox, Jean Harlow and Clark Gable just to get Temple for a certain picture Metro was preparing. But, the deal fell through. So, MGM finally went ahead with the picture and let Mama play the role of Dorothy - in "The Wizard of Oz".
