2009 Emerald Gala Celebrates 70 Years of The Wizard Of Oz

Ashanti, Reshma Shetty, and Judy Garland's daughter Lorna Luft all gathered at Tavern On The Green (RIP) for the 2009 Emerald Gala, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. They even wheeled out some munchkins for the occasion! I'm sure, btw, that these 90 year olds were thrilled to be forced to pose with giant lollipops.

Look, that's the coroner, who thoroughly examined her, and pronounced her not merely dead, but really most sincerely dead! (Too much?)
