There are much more bold ones, but I think it's bs.
Margaret Hamilton played the part of a witch, in the Wizard of Oz, but she lived the life of an angel, and her angelic demeanor suited her better. So much for stereotypes!
Almost always they want me to laugh like the Witch. And sometimes when I go to schools, if we're in an auditorium, I'll do it. And there's always a funny reaction, like 'Ye gods, they wish they hadn't asked.' They're scared. They're really scared for a second. Even adolescents. I guess for a minute they get the feeling they got when they watched the picture. They like to hear it but they 'don't' like to hear it. And then they go, 'Ohhhhhhhhhh ... !' The picture made a terrible impression of some kind on them, sometimes a ghastly impression, but most of them got over it, I guess ... because when I talk like the Witch, and when I laugh, there is a hesitation and then they clap. They're clapping at hearing the sound again.
... Quoted from Margaret Hamilton.
When asked about her experiences on the set of The Wizard of Oz, Hamilton said her biggest fear was her monstrous film role would give children the wrong idea of who she really was. In reality, she cared deeply about children, frequently giving to charitable organizations. She often remarked about children coming up to her and asking her why she had been so mean to Dorothy. She appeared on an episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood in 1975, where she explained to children she was only playing a role and showed how putting on a costume "transformed" her into the witch.
