	Trivia Answer:  Who was the first choice actor who turned
			down the part to play the Wizzard?

	CONGRADULATIONS TO:  (1)  fortune!grw  -  Glenn
			     (2)  Jerry Greenberg
			     (3)  John Eaton  and
			     (4)  Steve Nelson.

	W. C. Fields   -   The interesting part is that WC haggled
	over the pay.  He was offered (back then) $75,000 to perform 
	the part.  He demanded $100,000 or no contract.  I believe
	WC probably regreted he missed that oppotunity.
