A man has been charged with stealing the iconic ruby slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz' from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids more than 15 years ago.
"My knees buckled when I was on the phone and they said the shoes were stolen and the only thing I could blurt out was, 'Get them back!'" Michael Shaw told CBS News.Four known pairs exist. The recovered slippers were sent to the Smithsonian, where conservators examined them and determined the ruby slippers were authentic.The slippers are far from the only props from"The Wizard of Oz" that have fetched up big prices in auctions.
"The Wizard of Oz," widely considered one of America's top classic films, was nominated for six Oscars at the 1940 Academy Awards -- including best picture -- winning for original score and original song for"Over the Rainbow." Garland herself also won a special Oscar"for her outstanding performance as a screen juvenile during the past year," which included her other 1939 performance in"Babes in Arms.
