    How come every time media does one of these facts lists about Judy Garland, they never talk about how she was treated at MGM by Mayer at the beginning of her career? The diet and drugging her to work longer hours were awful, but there was so much more going on. They tore her appearance apart on day 1, capping her teeth, changing her skin with make up (Judy had freckles everywhere and Mayer thought it was ugly), and putting expanders in her nostrils. Louis B Mayer also called her his “little hunchback” until she was in her late 20s. He’d tell her who she could be friends with, who she could be seen with, what she could wear. He forced her to get at least 1 abortion during her first marriage. Some think he even set up the marriage itself. He certainly approved of husband number one and pushed the courtship. He starved her, mocked her talent, disrespected her singing because it wasn’t “real singing” (Mayer preferred opera, which is why any actress who could sing operatically got more attention in a Garland film than Judy got), and he constantly forced her to play the self-conscious girl-next-door with unrequited affection for the male lead. And then there were the Mayer-bankrolled adults at MGM who treated her awful too. Busby Berkeley especially. Poor Judy never had a chance. She was conditioned to hate herself and too weak in her self-worth to try and deprogram the damage. Instead, she turned to her men to take care of her and give her the affection she craved. But it wasn’t enough for long.
    Also, that strict diet made her bulimic-adjacent...as she would go on food binges when she was alone but it’s not known if she actually would throw up afterward. Mostly, she’d just stop eating for a few days. This happened her entire life. And there is a good chance that it was damage done by her eating disorder that weakened her so severely that her body couldn’t fight her overdose.
    Judy was destroyed by her mother and by MGM.

      Holly Co I am very protective of Judy Garland. It infuriates me when people misrepresent her life and her legacy. And I consider it a grave sign of disrespect when the truth of her life as an MGM starlet is sugar-coated or revamped so Mayer is the good guy. I’m also super passionate about sharing everything I know about the real Judy Garland (Frances Ethel Gumm) with her less-knowledgeable fans.

    • @kailyns8159

      Howard Kornblum Me and My Shadows is very good, but it’s Judy’s story filtered through her daughter Lorna’s memories. It paints Mayer with sugar-coating, only going so far. But he was so much worse than they portray. And it barely focuses on Judy’s father, which is also a let-down. Her relationship and memory of her father was always on Judy’s mind. He was the man she wanted her husbands to measure up to. None ever did. I do appreciate that it does showcase how awful Busby Berkeley was to Judy though. And that it didn’t hide Judy’s penchant for wearing her stardom like a security blanket even while it destroyed her. All she ever wanted was admiration and respect.

It's really sad how much and long she worked to end up with literally nothing. The flick made me cry. P.S.

      I just watched it last night, and after having watched "Judy" about a month ago, I felt the same way. "The Wizard of Oz" has always been my favorite movie. I'd heard she'd had a tragic life later on and that being forced to take uppers and downers all the time by the studio had led to her early death, but knowing the details and that she was already being treated so horribly while they were filming (by BOTH MGM and her mother) did kinda make me want to cry while watching it. It was hard to keep refocusing on the film itself as a perfect piece of art that I've loved my whole life. (If only should could have stayed in Oz with the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, and Toto to protect her--kind of like she looked to all her husbands to do! Or gotten OUT of Hollywood after the film was finished. Now the movie has taken on the exactly the OPPOSITE meaning from what it's trying to say: "There's no place like Oz, there's no place like Oz, there's no place like Oz."😭)

  • @TheGreekPianist
    @TheGreekPianist 4 роки тому +66

    My mom said “If show business became so overwhelming and difficult for her, why didn’t she just retire from it?” I tried to tell her it wasn’t that easy, unfortunately. Judy was born into show business and its basically all she ever knew, and she had many people in her life that pushed her and insisted she’d keep performing regularly. While it was very hard on her, it was also what she was used to and was familiar with. It wasn’t that easy for her to simply vanish from the public since she was a legend. People expected too much from her, and she never wanted to disappoint her fans (who she kept close relationships with and really cherished). She had a heart of gold and was a very selfless, compassionate woman who put others before herself.
    But watching the movie really angers me that her agents disregarded Judy’s health and well-being so much. They totally used and abused her and her talents. They made her stay on the go nonstop, which is very unhealthy and unrealistic in the long run. She was ran into the ground and was probably too kind and mild-mannered to take a stand. I really wish she had taken a hiatus for a while, to rest and take time for herself. ♥️

    • @marcosc9130

      The reason why she didn't leave showbiz is probably because she gave up so much for so long to get her place, that walking way from it would feel awful. She had a terrible childhood and teenage years, and she actually enjoyed singing and getting love from the audience, so she would basically make all the hardships she went through worthless and stop getting the one thing that was truly good in her life that is the true love people had for her.

    Rene TOTALLY deserved the Oscar for her portrayal of Judy. Brilliant!
    WOW! To be refused cake at her own birthday?!?! The Wicked Witch of the West was kinder to Dorothy than LB Mayer and Ethel Gumm were to Judy.
    In fact, according to one Garland Biography, Margaret Hamilton went to bat for Judy when she (Judy) and Mickey Rooney were slated to start a tour on the day of Judy's graduation, trying to persuade the front office and the big boss to put off the tour for a few days at least. They told her to mind her own business. But hey! Margaret did more for Judy than her own mother.
    There is an episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood with Ms. Hamilton, and I have to wonder, now, if he asked her about how she worked with Judy.

    One thing you left out was that the movie depicted Judy divorced Mickey Deans after an intense fight after he failed to go through with the deal that would've given her enough money to buy a house for her and her kids and end her London tour. Although, it didn't outright say whether they divorced or not but I just feel like it implied that. However, they actually remained together until her death. He was even the one who discovered her body after she died.
    In all honesty, despite the occasional inaccuracies, I loved the movie. Renee was amazing! She portrayed Judy so well! The way she walked, the way she talked and the way she looked!

  • @TonyGloUTube
    @TonyGloUTube 4 роки тому +36

    Forget about the naysayers. The film is a great portrayal of a time in Judy's life where she struggled and it was deeply affecting. Here was my experience viewing it.
    I am sitting in a dark, hushed movie theater, one among hundreds.
    Sobs, some deep and audible, others all but stifled, punctuate the silence.
    I cannot hold my breath any longer. Tears-at first droplets and then streams-roll down my cheeks. At first frozen, my chest relents and starts to move again, rising and falling, in fits and starts.
    This was me, yesterday, as I watched the film, “Judy,” starring Renee Zellwegger.
    I was devastated taking in the final scene. Perhaps devastated is the wrong term, for the scene is meant to convey some hope. And it does so in a film where hope is sparingly dispensed.
    Indeed, there is some optimism to be found in this bleak portrait of Judy Garland’s life. It comes via welcome reveals of Judy Garland’s wickedly sharp wit, one tinged with a self-deprecation and a melancholy that was nonetheless lightened by undertones of defiance and resilience.
    “Judy” is not a happy story, but it is not an unrelentingly pessimistic one either.
    It is difficult to capture disparate life turns-devastation, resilience, optimism, darkness, light, wit, melancholy-in a singular performance.
    Yet, Renee Zellwegger manages to do so, and, in a way that leaves one ultimately deeply affected by the humanity of Judy Garland.
    From Zellwegger’s portrait, you come to know a bit more about Garland’s tortured relationship to music and song. Whether it suffused her with life or devastated her in the midst of performance, Garland’s art was revelatory, and sometimes in ways over which she had no control. At times, being on stage seem to electro-shock Garland from her doldrums, lifting her from the depths of despair to intoxicating yet fleeting highs. Other times, it worked the other way around: the toxicity of her life, uncontrollably invasive, infiltrated her stage performances in ways that incapacitated her, wreaking havoc and destroying any semblance of an artist.
    The movie, and Zellwegger’s performance in particular, captured these moments in ways that always seem to humanize rather than degrade Garland. Even in the most brutal circumstances, where rage and pain informed her responses, you get the sense that the character of Judy Garland was such that she tried to not let that define her.
    Garland was, in turn, charming yet stubborn, tender yet irascible, selfless but myopic, strong but vulnerable. She is defined by contradictions.
    Yet, in this film, you root for Garland every step of her life’s journey, as revealed by this tale of her brief stay in London. She endured a life where addiction fueled a chaos and where trusts were violated, yet that did not define her. What defined her was her willingness to survive the chaos.
    At one point in the film Garland says, “Everybody has their trouble, and I’ve had mine. I just want what everybody wants. I just seem to have a harder time getting it.”
    Via this film, you understand that she never stopped trying.
    Go see "Judy!"

    Judy's audience sang 'Over the Rainbow' to her during her 1964 Palladium concert, and also sang 'Auld Lang Syne' to her at the last performance at the Palace in 1951. Both are captured on recordings of those performances. If you want to hear how Judy actually sounded during her Talk of the Town run, look up 'Judy- Fine Feather review' video.
    I saw the movie last night, and while I understand the movie makers' intent, I don't think they quite got there. I wished they had the real Judy singing over the closing credits--maybe 'Once in a Lifetime', 'Through The Years', or 'Smile'. I put my Carnegie Hall CD on in my car immediately for my drive home--perfection!

That said, I was very moved by the picture and Renee's performance. She didn't try in imitate Judy, which was good, but did a wonderful impression of her. I'm sure it will earn her an Academy Award nomination. By the way, I saw the real Judy in concert at the Greek Theatre in L.A. when I was 12. It changed my life.

      The scene serves a purpose, they would have to make at least one more hour to show everything they managed there. It's about how LGBT community loves her, also about how Judy was craving for love and attention, how she connected and truly cared about her fans and of course how important and how much she meant to people (the men have basically a shrine for her with pics and memorabilia) not to mention it's the only time we can see her as a human being, not just a star. That sequence is a masterpiece of the movie, they showed so much in so little time and Renné delivered all the emotions it needed to work.

    Just watched this film and enjoyed it, Renee Zellweger is phenomenal. While it could’ve been a little less conventional, I’m impressed by how accurate it is compared to other biopics and I am horrified by how her childhood was robbed by a film studio and how the everlasting trauma destroyed her. There’s a logical reason why Judy described her mother Ethel as being “the real Wicked Witch of the West” since she forced Judy to perform at 2.5 years old with her sisters and gave her the pills needed to turn them less into her pride & joy and more into her product & joy, which makes the line “Children need their mothers” even more powerful since it’s vital for children in the entertainment business to have a mother and not a manager, just like how Mozart and Michael Jackson’s fathers acted more like producers and less like parents. Ms. Garland is in a better place over the rainbow where she can sing and dance across a yellow brick road with her dog, a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion.

And Lorna wrote that they left her and went to their dad's, then called Judy to let her know where they would be staying. Renee gave a truly incredible performance. And I can understand fictionalizing the gay couple. But feels wrong to me to tell a different story about her children in that way.

    I wish people would stop ascribing her death to "accidental overdose." Looking at pictures from her March '69 performance in Copenhagen, her cadaverous look shows her at the brink and anything could have pushed her over, from cardiac arrest to stroke to embolism. Clearly, at that point she was not in good health. Chronic alcoholics are unable to process nutrients from food; and clearly by this point her health was failing and anything could have pushed her over. "Accidental overdose" simply gives an inaccurate summary of her poor health by June of 1969.

    True or False games aside, "Judy" is a wildly romanticised biopic posing as a raw expose. The reality of her volatile behaviour in those final months was far more extreme and far more disturbing. Sure, they incorporated some of Roslyn Wilder's memories of Judy overcoming her nerves and switching on the star power, but what they left out is far more telling. In another of her battles to get Garland on stage, Judy looked at Wilder, smiled mischievously, then cut her wrist with a razor. She spent the night in hospital instead. Then she was wheeled out to complete her engagement at the Talk of the Town. The truth was actually fairly relentlessly grim, mostly without the upbeat and heartwarming moments Judy invents. So the film is much more Hollywood than docudrama.
