At least they tried asbestos they can at the time.

The Wizard of Oz was one of the absolute most dangerous films ever made. OP is there a good essay about the history of this? It's a REALLY fascinating story and a lot of people who watch and enjoy movies would probably be absorbed into reading it.
If you don't know: It made them all gay
The Slow Demise of Asbestos, the Carcinogen that Gave ‘The Wizard of Oz’ Snow https://archive.vn/CCy5x
I think I looked this up at one point, and weirdly, none of them died from the asbestos. I seem to remember several of the actors died relatively young, so maybe something else got them first.
It was in 1939. Asbestos usually fucks you 20 years later, so around 1950. While Asbestos related diseases were acknowledged in the 40s, the widespread understanding of a health hazard was only coming up in the 60s to 80s.
So it is very well possible, that it simply wasn't checked.
Asbestos isn't that bad for you when compared to heavy amphetamine and barbiturate use. But I'm sure it did help with the emotional pain of being constantly molested and likely raped or being poisoned to death from toxic paint on your face.
Just posting this all over the place? I've seen it on three different meme subs
Op doesn't know how to cross post
Don't they join together if the title is the same?
They come out as crossposts or used to...
They used to be joined as crossposts if they have the same title (I have seen it happen before), will try to crosspost next time!
I saw a very long summary of all that went wrong at the making of this film on Reddit once.
