Gerard Marenghi (January 24, 1920 – May 24, 2018),[1][2] known as Jerry Maren, was an American actor who was the last surviving Munchkin of the 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz, in which he portrayed a member of the Lollipop Guild. He became the last known survivor of the Munchkin cast, following the death of fellow Munchkin Ruth Duccini on January 16, 2014.[3][4] (A small number of anonymous female extras are also reported to survive; as they were technically dwarves and not midgets, they are not counted as Munchkins.[1] At least one non-Munchkin, stunt double Caren Marsh Doll, also survives.)
