Famous Red Shoes
Perhaps the most famous red shoes on the planet today are the ruby red slippers worn by Judy Garland’s character -- Dorothy Gale, in the classic 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz.” The film, which was re-released in even brighter color after being digitally enhanced many years ago, features eye-popping shades of yellow, silver, green, gold, and red. Not only did Dorothy Gale’s ruby red slippers have the power to transport her back home, these famous red shoes kept the viewers attention on every click of the heel during the scene where little miss Dorothy clicked her heels together and repeated those famous words “There’s No Place Like Home.”
So, where are these famous red shoes today? Before the answer to that question is revealed, first, here is an interesting bit of information about how the ruby red slippers came to be for the film. Several pairs of red shoes had been tested before the MGM wardrobe settled on the schoolgirlesque red pumps designed by Adrian Adolph Greenberg. One pair of interesting red shoes with curled toes was also designed by Adrian Adolph Greenberg – but they never made it into the film. Another was a cute pair red bowless pumps known only as “Bugle Bead” shoes. This pair was designed during Richard Thorpe’s days directing the film.
The Wizard of Oz wasn’t always “The Wizard of Oz.” The fantasy musical was originally a novel by L. Frank Baum titled “The Wonderful Wizard Oz.” Equally beautiful, but not quite right for the film adaptation, Dorothy’s slippers were silver in the novel. Red was the color of choice for the shoes in the film as this was a time in the film industry when the new Technicolor film process was raging.
The famous red shoes from The Wizard of Oz are on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History at14th St. at Constitution Ave., NW Washington, DC. While Dorothy spent most of her time in the red shoes on display at the Smithsonian, MGM personnel actually made several pairs of red shoes for Judy Garland to use during the filming -- sizes 5 and 6. This was a common practice with centerpiece costumes and props. Many of the shoes cannot be accounted for – well not exactly. It is believed that many of them belong to private collectors. One known collector is Debbie Reynolds. She currently owns the curled-toe red shoes.
