SALISBURY, Conn. (AP) - Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz," died today of an apparent heart attack, according to nursing home officials. She was 82.
Miss Hamilton, who had been ill for about a year, died at the Noble Horizons nursing home in Salisbury, according to Joann Lunning, director of nursing at the facility.
A former kindergarten teacher, Miss Hamilton's role in the 1939 version of the L. Frank Baum classic has frightened generations of children who thrilled as she melted at the feet of Judy Garland's Dorothy.
She came to film via the stage, appearing first at the Cleveland Playhouse, which now sponsors a scholarship fund in her name, and then appeared on Broadway in 1932, in "Another Language."
She went to Hollywood to reprise that role in 1933, and went on to appear in numerous character parts. She specialized in playing unpleasant gossips, spinsters, and maids in such films as "Nothing Sacred," "State of the Union," and "Guest in the House."
In 1971, she appeared in two films - "Brewster McCloud" and "The Anderson Tapes."
She also appeared on television, and was known to many as Cora, a kindly character in the Maxwell House Coffee commercials. (El Dorado Times, May 18, 1985)
