I Toto by Willard Carroll5/10/2023 That was the same year that she made her last film, which was Tortilla Flat, and it was directed by Victor Fleming, who also directed The Wizard of Oz. Spitz changed Terry's name to Toto in 1942. Terry attended the opening of the film at Grauman's Chinese Theater, and because the movie got to be so popular, Mr. Garland really liked Terry and wanted to adopt her, but Terry's owner and trainer, Carl Spitz, said no. It took two weeks for her to get all better again, and she stayed at Judy Garland's house during this time. One day while the film was getting made, Terry got stepped on by a Winkie guard, and her foot was broken. For being in the The Wizard of Oz, Terry earned $125 a week, which was more than some of the human actors made, such as the Munchkins, who only made $50 a week. Terry was in a couple of films before she got her role as Toto, including one with Shirley Temple. The movie The Wizard of Oz was made in 1939, and the dog who played the part of Toto was a female brindle Cairn Terrier named Terry, who had been born in Chicago in 1933.
