Margaret Hamilton

She is but nobody pays attention to Paleo Gays...

For the same reason she was asked to leave the set of "the Facts of Life," I imagine.

My beautiful wickedness!

Love her.

She was mean to Toto. Otherwise, I liked everything else about her.

Loved her coffee.

An eensy weensy case of typecasting

No glamour, bravado,pizzazz,no books by overbearing brats, too much green paint, She was mean to gay icon Judy.

A gay icon has to have had at least some physical attractiveness at some point in their lives.

R9 Liberace was never beautiful honey....not even close. Camp yes beautiful no. So was Margaret Hamilton.

She was ugly enough to be a lesbian

Closeted despicable Liberace was never an icon except to old ladies.

To gay men he was a lying joke.

Gene Tierney

Judy

Joan...

OK I'll give you Bette Midler though there seems to be some evidence that she's a homophobic miserable person at least on DL and loves the money delusional gays throw at her.

And if you're going to insist on Liberace he was considered handsome in the 50s by many people though I'm not one of them.

I must admit that I was routing for the Wicked Witch of the West and felt bad that she was dissolved.

She deserves automatic icon status for dressing her troops like doormen at the Russian Tea Room and putting the flying monkeys into those little bellboy outfits with the pillbox hats.

r13 = Deanna Durbin

Miss Hamilton famously was one of the kindest, meekest people in Hollywood (and New York, where mostly lived. Her son is still alive.

Here she is in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

That's because most of the gays here are carboholics and the only rainbow they've gone over lately is the Skittles rainbow.

She wasn't dissolved. She was LIQUIDATED!

I've heard hat she was very well liked in Hollywood

R2 and that reason is?

He had lots of wavy hair

r21 was for r12.

If Van Johnson can be handsome so can Liberace.

She scared the shit out of me as a kid. Margaret Hamilton as the Witch is scarier than Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers combined.

r16, I saw her with Jean Simmons. She was delightful.

Margaret Hamilton was brilliant in her 'Oz' role; so many quotable, memorable lines, delivered superbly.

But what about Billie Burke?

She was an old bitch who to her credit paid off the debts of her late husband. She was marginal but at least had a sense of ethical responsibility about her.

r27

Margaret and Mary Wickes had a decades long relationship.

SHE WAS AND IS A GODDESS.

I was 5 the first time we watched "The Wizard of Oz" on TV, and when the Wicked Witch came on the screen I ran out of the room.

She played the best role in Wizard of Oz

She was an absolute gem!

Back in 1979, when I was a young gayling, I saw Miss Hamilton at a charity event at St. John's University. The audience got to see "The Wizard of Oz" (she sat two rows in front of me) and afterwards she spoke and answered questions. The entire audience fell in love with her. She was absolutely lovely, inside and out.

R15 Deanna Durbin had nothing to be jealous of. She was bigger box-office than Judy Garland, hadn't a drug problem and lived twice as long as she did. Judy was the one who was jealous of Deanna, making nasty jabs on Jack Paar. When frenemy Judy called Deanna when she was performing in Paris complaining about things, Deanna said "Are you still in that fucking business?"

That wasn’t Margaret, silly R16.

If Troy Donahue can be a movie star, I can be a movie star.

Margaret Hamilton not receiving an Academy Award nomination for her brilliant Wicked Witch of the West creation is one of the biggest injustices in Hollywood history.

Oh, but plenty of folks who have Oscars aren't as well remembered as Maggie Hamilton. Do people talk about Katina Paxinou that much?

I can't believe she wasn't nominated for a Supporting Actress Oscar. Her Wicked Witch was brilliant.

According to Bruce Vilanch, who worked with Hamilton in the 70s, she was a big ol' dyke.

She'll be remembered for that Lin-Manuel Miranda musical about her.

Her cameo on Mr.. Rogers’ Neighborhood (where they demonstrated how she dressed in costume to play the witch) was sweet, because it obviously was done as damage control for preschoolers who were traumatized by The Wizard of Oz, although her appearance on Sesame Street (where she played the witch in full character) was yanked because parents complained.

She seemed like a nice meemaw who liked to help her Hollywood friends and deserves a medal for appearing on that abominable Paul Lynde Halloween Special. (That must be where she met Vilanch.)

^^^ Meemaw, are you Sheldon Cooper, or is that really a thing in Texas?
