This question just randomly appeared in my head, for some strange reason. So I had to find out.
The last remaining actor with a speaking/singing role actually died on May 24 of this year. Jerry Maren. He played one of the Munchkins. He was 98.
Ambrose Schindler, who was a Winkie Guard and also the Tin Man's stunt double, is still alive. He's 101 years old.
There are still a few uncredited child 'Munchkins' alive, as they used children for filming also, as I guess it would be difficult now, and even moreso then, to find a large group of midgets to act!
Also of interest, is that all the fake snow used on set was actually pure asbestos fibers.
Proves to me what I thought all along... Asbestos fibers alone do not cause a problem, but the dust can if cut into airborne particles and breathed in.

I see.
Yes I have watched the wizard of oz and I'm still alive after watching.
