Some of it isn't true. Read the books "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman, and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman for the real story.

Of course, so did the cast.

She does not get burned in the scene shown in the film. She gets burned in the scene filmed after that. The one in the film had poor timing and the smoke started rising before she was in position. So they tried again and this time she was still above ground when the flames went up. So they used the initial, poorly timed, take of the trick. That is what you see in the movie and in this youtube video.

Nothin' worse than a *stinky lion costume* . That said, I can't imagine any other actor nailing the nuances of the Cowardly Lion the way in which Bert Lahr did.
