Drew Barrymore Surprises Ariana Grande with Original Glinda Wand from 'The Wizard of Oz'

The iconic prop, now owned by a private collector, was loaned for Grande's appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' as part of her promotion for the film 'Wicked.'

Ariana Grande, who stars as Glinda in the film adaptation of 'Wicked,' was visibly emotional when presented with the original Glinda wand from the 1939 'The Wizard of Oz.'
Drew Barrymore revealed that the wand, previously housed at the Smithsonian, is now privately owned and was specially loaned for the show segment.
Grande jokingly pretended to walk offstage with the wand, expressing disbelief and gratitude for the rare opportunity to hold the historic movie prop.
The gesture highlighted Grande's deep connection to the character of Glinda, which she has loved since childhood and now portrays in the highly anticipated movie adaptation.
The full segment featuring the surprise will air on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' on Thursday, December 5, while 'Wicked: Part One' is currently in theaters.
