Betty Danko wurde am 19 September 1903 in New Jersey, USA geboren. Sie war Schauspielerin, bekannt für Hazard (1948). Sie starb am 3 Februar 1979 in Santa Ana, California, USA.
While playing the stand-in of The Wicked Witch of the West in Das zauberhafte Land (1939),
she was severely burned during the "Surrender Dorothy!" skywriting
sequence. (Margaret Hamilton also was burned during the making of the
film. She had to make her own exit in Munchkinland, but it is Betty
Danko who we first see in color as the Wicked Witch.)
