Regardless of how many films the cast members of The Wizard of Oz were in, they're most often best remembered from their roles in this glorious film. And John Joseph "Jack" Haley who played both the Tin Man and the Kansas farm worker, Hickory, is no exception.

Long before being cast as the Tin Man, Jack starred in vaudeville as a song-and-dance comedian. In the early 1930s Jack was featured in numerous comedy shorts that were produced by Warner Bros. and its sister studio First National, using Vitaphone, the last and most successful of the sound-on-disc processes employed by the film industry back then.

Thanks to his wide-eyed, good-natured facial expression, Jack was chosen to appear in various musical feature films, including Poor Little Rich Girl with Shirley Temple, Higher and Higher with Frank Sinatra, and the Irving Berlin musical Alexander's Ragtime Band.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer hired Jack for The Wizard of Oz after another song-and-dance man, Buddy Ebsen, who was originally set to play the Tin Man, nearly died from inhaling the aluminum dust makeup, which was used to help create the character. Jack's natural voice, which he used for the part of Hickory, was on the rough side. But for the Tin Man, he spoke more softly, which he later said was the tone of voice he used when reading stories to his children.

Jack who hailed from Boston, Massachusetts, married Florence McFadden, a native of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania on February 25, 1921, and they remained together until his death in 1979. The couple had a son, Jack Haley, Jr. who grew up to be a film director, producer and writer, and a daughter, Gloria. In 1972, Haley made her, the sole owner of his written memoirs, and six years later she published them in the form of the hardcover book Heart of the Tin Man.

Jack died of a heart attack on June 6, 1979 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 80. Just a couple of months before his passing, Jack made an appearance at that year's Academy Awards® ceremony with his fellow actor and fellow Bostonian, Ray Bolger who had played the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz.

Ray Bolger originally was cast to play the Tin Man in the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz." He traded roles with Buddy Ebsen, who had initially been cast to play the Scarecrow. Ebsen recorded all of his songs, finished four weeks of rehearsal, and completed costuming prior to the filming of the movie.

MGM tested several types of costumes and makeup to make the Tin Man appear silvery. They tried covering Ebsen with tin, silvery paper, and silver cloth-covered cardboard. Finally, they decided to go with white face paint coated with aluminum dust.

Nine days into filming, Ebsen started to experience shortness of breath and cramping that sent him to the hospital. At one point his lungs failed. He remained hospitalized for two weeks during which the film's producer hired actor Jake Haley to replace him. Haley's makeup was reformulated into a paste that was painted on. He missed four days of filming when the makeup caused an eye infection, but he did not suffer any permanent damage nor did he lose his job.

Still, Ebsen may have had the last laugh: He outlived both Bolger and Haley-living to the ripe old age of 95 and dying in 2003, more than half a century after "The Wizard" was released.

Ebsen's recording of "We're Off to See the Wizard" with Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, was used in the film's soundtrack.

While there are several toxic chemicals found in cosmetics, you won't get sick wearing metallic makeup today. Safe Tin Man makeup is available, or better yet, make your own with homemade white grease paint coated with metallic glitter or Mylar.

There was once an ordinary man by the name of Nick Chopper (the name first appearing in The Marvelous Land of Oz), the Tin Woodman used to make his living chopping down trees in the forests of Oz, as his father had before him. He was in love with a girl and intended to marry her. His sweetheart was working for a lazy old woman who wasn't happy about two young people falling in love.

The lazy old woman didn't want to lose her Munchkin maiden who she kept as a servant, so she bribed The Wicked Witch of the East to enchant Chopper's axe to prevent him from marrying his sweetheart. (In a later book of the series, The Tin Woodman of Oz, the woman is said to be the Witch's servant, and it is the Witch herself who decides to enchant Nick's axe.) The enchanted axe chopped off his limbs, one by one. Each time he lost a limb, Ku-Klip the tinsmith replaced it with a prosthetic limb made of tin. Finally, nothing was left of him but tin. However, Ku-Klip, the tinsmith who helped him, neglected to replace his heart. Once Nick Chopper was made entirely of tin, he was no longer able to love the lady he had fallen for.

His desire for a heart notably contrasts with the Scarecrow's desire for brains, reflecting a common debate between the relative importance of the mind and the emotions. This occasions philosophical debate between the two friends as to why their own choices are superior; neither convinces the other and Dorothy, listening, is unable to decide which one is right. Symbolically, because they remain with Dorothy throughout her quest, she is provided with both and does not have to choose just one. The Tin Woodman states unequivocally that he has neither heart nor brain, but cares nothing for the loss of his brain. Towards the end of the novel, though, Glinda praises his brain as not quite that of the Scarecrow's.

The Tin Woodman appeared in most of the Oz books that followed. In The Tin Woodman of Oz, Nick Chopper finally sets out to find his lost love, Nimmie Amee but discovers that she has already married Chopfyt, a man constructed partly out of his own dismembered and discarded limbs. For the Tin Woodman, this encounter with his former fiancée is almost as jarring as his experiences being transformed into a tin owl, meeting another tin man, Captain Fyter, and conversing with his ill-tempered original head.
