Noel Langley
Noel Langley (25 December 1911 – 4 November 1980) was a South African (later naturalised American) novelist, playwright, screenwriter and director. He wrote the screenplay which formed the basis for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and is one of the film's three credited screenwriters. His script for the film was revised by the other two writers, Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf. Langley objected to their changes and lamented the final cut upon first seeing it, but later revised his opinion.
