Although he had already established himself as a substantial vaudeville, Broadway and film star, congenial light comedian and singer Jack Haley will forever be remembered as the Tin Woodsman in 1939's The Wizard of Oz. Look for him opposite Shirley_Temple in The_Poor_Little_Rich_Girl (1936) and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938), Alice_Faye in Wake Up and Live (1937) and Alexander's_Ragtime_Band (1938) and Judy_Garland in an early role in Pigskin_Parade (1936). Retired from the screen in the '50s, he started a highly successful second career in real estate. His son, producer Jack_Haley,_Jr., not only became an important film-history documentarian but was also briefly married to Liza_Minnelli, daughter of his father's Oz co-star Judy_Garland. Rovi
