I've only seen one Natalie Kalmus TV in my life, and it is still sitting in an old rumpus room in the basement of a friends parents home.

When the Wizard of Oz was in production the producers hated her iron fistedness since she tended to mute pretty bright colors down to the point where they were uninteresting and minimized the difference between the sepia beginning of the film and the OZ color sequences.
So the producers got Technicolor to ship her off to England to work on another
film over there and the colorful Oz we can see today is the result.
