She was portrayed by the late Margaret Hamilton, who also portrayed the Wicked Witch of the West and the Wicked Witch of the East.
Biography[]
Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, run to their farm in Kansas after an encounter with Miss Gulch, who hit Toto on the back with a rake. No one at the farm seems interested in this, however. Miss Gulch arrives and announces that she will have Toto destroyed because Toto bit her on one of her legs and she got the sheriff to give her an order for it. She takes Toto away in a basket on her bike, but Toto escapes and runs back to Dorothy. Realizing Miss Gulch will return for him, Dorothy and Toto decide to run away. She did not arrive as the tornado struck the farm.
Inside the tornado, Dorothy saw Miss Gulch riding on her bicycle, but Miss Gulch suddenly transformed into the Wicked Witch of the East. Her bicycle becomes a broom at that same moment.
It is unknown if Miss Gulch suffered the same fate as the Witch of the East (Given she turned into her) or is killed during the storm while bicycling back to her home or the Gales will be paid another visit by her looking to take Toto away again. However, in most professional play productions, the script used often has Uncle Henry mention to Dorothy when she wakes up that, "A telephone pole fell on her". While that was her fate in the theatrical adaptations, it can be implied to be the same in the film.
