From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Meinhardt Raabe (born September 9, 1915, in Jefferson County, Wisconsin) is the oldest surviving Munchkin-actor from The Wizard of Oz. In addition to his role in the film—wherein he played the coroner who pronounced the death of the Wicked Witch of the East—Raabe worked for many decades as a spokesperson for Oscar Meyer.

Raabe graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1937, and appeared in The Wizard of Oz in 1939. His only lines in the film were:

As coroner, I must aver
I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merely dead
She's really, most sincerely dead!

He recently published an autobiography titled Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road. (ISBN 0823091937)
