Jack Haley was a movie and vaudeville actor who is always remembered as
the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz (1939). The Tin Man role was originally was going to
Buddy Ebsen, but due to allergic reaction from the aluminum powder makeup,
Ebsen was taken out of the casting and Haley replaced him. To avoid the
same problem arising, they used aluminum paste for Haley instead of the
powder. Haley starred in over thirty other movies.
