You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Mickey Carroll''' (born '''Michael Finocchiaro'''; July 8, 1919 &ndash; May 7, 2009) was an American actor who worked in radio and film, and was one of the last surviving actors who portrayed a [[Munchkin]] in the 1939 film ''[[The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz]]''.

==Early life and career==
Born Michael Finocchiaro in [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]], Carroll was the son of Italian immigrants.<ref name=NYT1>((cite news|title=Mickey Carroll, an 'Oz' Munchkin, Dies at 89|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/08/arts/08carroll.html|accessdate=April 23, 2014|newspaper=New York Times|date=May 8, 2009))</ref> He was born along with a twin sister, who, unlike Carroll, was of average size.<ref name=cox1>((cite book|last=Cox|first=Stephen|title=The Munchkins remember: "The Wizard of Oz" and beyond|date=1989|publisher=E.P. Dutton|isbn=9780525484868|page=[https://archive.org/details/munchkinsremembe0000coxs/page/56 56]|url=https://archive.org/details/munchkinsremembe0000coxs/page/56))</ref>

As a child Carroll began dance lessons at the [[Fox Theatre (St. Louis, Missouri)|Fox Theater]] in St. Louis.<ref name=stlouis1>((cite web|title=Mickey Carroll|url=http://explorestlouis.com/visit-explore/discover/st-louis-celebrities/mickey-carroll/|publisher=Explore St. Louis|accessdate=April 23, 2014))</ref>  At 17 he was one of six bellhops in the "Call for Phillip Morris" live radio ads, and at 18 was appearing in shows with [[Mae West]].

While under contract to MGM, he went to school with [[Judy Garland]]<ref name=stlouis1 /> and [[Mickey Rooney]]. It was Garland herself who offered him a part in ''[[The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz]]''. ((Citation needed|date=May 2009)) Carroll was cast as Munchkinland's "Town Crier". His costume consisted of a purple cloak with a yellow flower sticking out of his striped vest. He also marched as a "Munchkin Soldier", and as one of the candy-striped "Fiddlers" who escorted Dorothy down the yellow brick road towards the Emerald City.<ref name=fox1>((cite news|title=One of Last Surviving 'Wizard of Oz' Munchkins Mickey Carroll Dies|url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/05/08/one-last-surviving-wizard-oz-munchkins-mickey-carroll-dies/|accessdate=April 23, 2014|newspaper=Fox News))</ref>

Soon after the success of the film, Carroll left show business.  In the mid-1940s, he returned to St. Louis to run the family business making cemetery monuments, known as Standard Monument Company (founded 1911), which operated a shop and showroom on St. Charles Rock Road in Wellston.  After Carroll sold it in 1996, he filled his time with charity work.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/08/arts/08carroll.html|title='Wizard of Oz' Munchkin Mickey Carroll dies at 89|newspaper=The New York Times |date=May 8, 2013|accessdate=August 13, 2013))</ref>

In November 2007, Carroll, along with six of the other remaining Munchkins, received a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]].<ref>"Munchkins of 'Oz' get a star on Walk of Fame". USA Today. November 21, 2007. Retrieved August 8, 2013.</ref> Thanks to the popularity of ''[[The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', Carroll made many appearances that year, serving as a [[Grand Marshal|grand marshal]] in parades, appearing on nationwide radio and TV shows, and signing thousands of autographs for fans. He helped raise money for several different charities.

==Death==
On May 7, 2009, Carroll died in his sleep at the home of his caretaker in [[Crestwood, Missouri]]. He had a heart ailment and complications from [[Alzheimer's disease]]. After his death, his family sued his caretaker, to whom Carroll had transferred all assets four months before his death.<ref name=Joness1>((cite book|last=Jones|first=Stephen|title=The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 21|date=2010|publisher=Running Press|isbn=9780762439973|page=447))</ref>

After a funeral Mass at the [[Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis (St. Louis)|New Cathedral Basilica]] of St. Louis on Lindell Blvd., he was entombed at [[Calvary Cemetery (St. Louis)|Calvary Cemetery]] Shrine Mausoleum in St. Louis.<ref name=cemetery1>((cite web|title=Calvary Cemetery in Zip Code 63115|url=http://63115.com/local/historic/calvary-cemetery|publisher=63115|accessdate=April 23, 2014))</ref>
