@@cynthiaennis3107 me too 😊😊. As I was reading this comment the actual scene was playing at the time. It was in sync word for word. What a co wink a dink, and what's the odd of that happening again 😊.
"People think of me as a neurotic kid, full of fits and depressions, biting my fingernails to the bone, living under an eternal shadow of illness and collapse. Why do people insist on seeing an aura of tragedy around me always? My life isn’t tragic at all. I laugh a lot these days. At myself, too. Lord, if I couldn’t laugh at myself I don’t think I’d be alive". -Judy Garland Despite everything that happened to her, she tried her best to stay positive and get through her troubles with a smile. Bless that woman for her optimism.
You really believe that? I mean it’s cool, and I don’t doubt that she laughed, and believed what she said here at times. But if she saw the world that way all the time or even the majority of the time, she wouldn’t have spent her life as unconscious as possible. It is exactly the sort of thing People who struggle with addiction and mental illness say when they are good mood, and is very unlikely to be a stable or consistent state. And yes I know she started drugs early, and it was gonna be an uphill battle for her. I’m not trying to criticize, but pointing out what we all know, that she didn’t manage to conquer those demons. She was a performer and knew what to do or say to make you (audience/fan) feel the way you do, and herself as close as she could feel to be “loved“. That’s what she primarily wanted, as we all do. And sadly, just like her feeling loved, what she describes here wasn’t likely to be a consistent thing. Otherwise maybe she would’ve had a better chance with her mental health and addiction issues. Life doesn’t have to be all tragedy for it to still be tragic in some ways.
1chienandalou I agree with both of you, and yes, your right about a person that struggles with addiction...I am one. That’s hard to admit, but it’s true. I’ve been clean for four year’s, and I struggle every day, some more than other’s. If I was an entertainer, and also still dealing with the struggle, I would’ve said the same, probably mainly, because I wouldn’t want people in my business like that. Being that she started so young thanks to her mom, she probably died not really knowing her true self, her real identity, and personality. I hope not though.
cici moore I agree with you. I don’t think she knew who she truly was. She could only relate to others in what they could do for her. She didn’t have a chance to fully mature, even though she grew up too fast st the same time. Most people think she was abused by her mother and others, maybe she was, we don’t know. I think she was allowed to do what she wanted to at a very young age without considering how it would affect her later on. Children can’t make career decisions.I think she also had a way of talking to move things in her favor. It seemed to be the nature of her mental disorder. She couldn’t take responsibility for her own actions. She drove herself to her own demise sadly. I don’t think she wanted to die and didn’t think she would, but it had gone too far.
@@corettaha7855 "She should have listened" is such a non-statement. Everyone knows that, it's just common sense. If it was that easy, "just listening" then we wouldn't have rehabs we'd have talk centres for addiction. Don't blame the victim, and that's exactly what she was. A victim of her circumstances, a child-star thrust into amphetamines and into continuing when she simply couldn't. Until it was her entire persona, that she thought she was nothing without showbiz. Because, perhaps, that's the only time she ever truly felt loved.
OKHomoRose Grace Kelly was terrific in the COUNTRY GIRL. Judy was too in A STAR IS BORN. Who knows why one was chosen over the other. Probably a hundred different reasons.
Fun fact: When Meryl Streep won her Emmy for Angels in America in 2004 she beat Judy Davis but said of her on stage that nobody put a better performance on screen than Judy Davis in Life with Judy Garland.
Because of her mother, because of MGM, because of all the husbands that neglected her, she met an undeserving death in a cold bathroom, a young woman instead of an old lady dying in her bed. Have they no shame at all! The only people who truly loved her was her children. They never left her side and they continue to speak how wonderful she was!
Anytime you think the problem is out there, that's the problem. Luft had it spot on -- it was always someone else's fault. And she was a tragic addict who came to a sorry end.
@@TeeHeejab She didn't Definitely didn't people around her and her need to go on performing wouldn't allow her to... MGM were guilty of killing her slowly but surely along with her mother if that's what you call her...
It's crazy how talented this woman is! She has Judy's mannerisms, her talking voice sounds just like Judy, & when you watch the scene's of Judy's most famous performances it's literally like watching the real Judy. She didn't act like Judy she became Judy Garland. Love this biopic so glad I found this. RIH beautiful angel the world lost one of the most talented women that's ever walked this earth. No one since Judy could ever compare to her. Her voice was so so special. I watch her famous performance when she sang over the rainbow live dressed as the bum & I still cry. The emotion she exudes & when I see the tears roll down her face I always get goosebumps. She definitely had some serious issues but she still to the end gave everything she got. Gone too soon.
Judy Garland still holds the title of best voice ever in history! I'm sure this is only my opinion. she is an amazing talent and should be recognized for her Superior voice forever It's hard to accept if this is only my opinion, I hope more people recognize the true genius of Judy Garland 💖💖
I can relate because I have disability and need extra help and my mother hasn’t been the same since my grandparents passed away. Her mental illness has gone down hill really quickly and you can’t even joke with her. She sometimes does act like Judy and it’s scary for my dad and I to put up with because it’s only us two. My sister is married doesn’t help much.
I do believe in my opinion she should have taken the academy award for "A Star Is Born" she played an excellent part in the movie RIP Judy You were much more then a *STAR*
The actress portraying Judy Garland seems the embodiment of her. What a fabulous job of acting! She must have received an Emmy for the part. Thanks so much for posting.
The film did won 5 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Costumes for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special - Part 1, Outstanding Hairstyling for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special, Outstanding Makeup for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie - Tammy Blanchard as Young Judy Garland at age 17 and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie - Judy Davis.
Judy was and is still looked up to people everywhere, this just shows you how rough show biz really is. I have always loved her no matter what people have said.
John A.: That's my fav scene in the movie! I think Judy was very CLEAR in making her point, don't you? Then, after her short speech after she hung up, she turns & flings BOTH doors wide open, walking through them w/ her head held high & leaving the doors swinging on their hinges.... Point MADE, Miss Garland!
John A. Something nobody else could do better, except maybe Joan Crawford. Davis was mesmerizing in this role, at times she simply was Judy Garland. She certainly had the voice inflections down, and facial expressions, as well as body posturing.
What a woman!! Picking up the telephone to call the prezz was the ultimate burn! She could walk her talk and wasn't afraid to work her power! She earned it! Class act and say what you will, her vulnerability made her lovable. Respect for her children.. and the entire situation. Everyone deserved better. Frances shouldn't of gone down like that.
BlazinBritBrat: I've often thought the same thing...Where the heck were her sisters? I can only speculate that, once she was able to get away from her overbearing Mom, she steered clear of ALL family. Also, this particular story was written (originally in book form) by Lorna, so it kind of makes sense that we see Lorna as being the main "helper" to her (since that's naturally how Lorna remembers it). When my Dad died, it was SO odd to hear my own siblings tell stories about some of Dad's adventures (he lived a very colorful life) - As I don't remember many of the stories they swear are true. And they, in turn, think that I make up some of the memories I have about Dad.....My point is, that even if people are in the same house at the same time, kids tend to remember events much differently from each other. It's so weird how that happens.
My grandsons mother and her mother died of drug over doses two weeks apart from each other. Now I and my husband raise him. Wonderful boy he is. Drugs are such a problem for so many.
Brittany Lawson Good on you. It's awful when a child has to grow up without a mother. My son has grown up without a mother too. I had to bring him up myself.
"I'm a woman who wants to reach out and take 40 million people in her arms!" I would love a hug from Judy Garland! Not sure why her touching the guests was bad. I doubt she was being inappropriate with them. Even if she touched people in an emotional level, thats still incredible!
The day of Judy’s funeral in NYC, was the day that the Stonewall riots started between the gay people and the NYPD, who were as homophobic then as they are racist now...(certainly not all of them, but definitely a fair share). Having talked with many of my gay friends about them adopting the rainbow as their symbol, after Judy’s funeral and the riots ended, I was told that Judy became a gay icon, because like Judy, gay people back then, felt and were, rejected by the majority, having a sense that there was no place for them to just be accepted, just like Judy’s life story.
Whilst she was in concert i London my father worked with her in the orchestra - a big show Palladium or something. For all the talk of pills and booze and bad behaviour, my father for a whole month said she was the most professional woman he ever worked with. He said she wore slacks and a jumper, perched on a stool and tapped the music out on her knee with her finger. She sipped water from a cup. She never complained if someone played a bum note, just raised her hand. And when the concert finished she said goodbye to the whole orchestra. Later he worked with Lulu who complained bitched, threw hissy fits and would only sing in one key. She made the whole orchestra miserable and to make things worse would only play them a third of their salary. They had to sue for breach of contract. My father couldn’t believe it. He said ‘Do people actually like this girl?’
Thank you for your remarks. I have watched her movies over and over and I tell you no one could sing and dance as JUDY did especially in movies from ‘ages 16 to 29 . She was always doing one show or another. Sometimes more than 4 a year. She was super human and the greatest star of her day. Ann Miller and many others loved her and talked about her great talent. She may have been late on the set but she didn’t need a lot of takes and so the filming went quite quickly. I
I think GOD finally said “You have had enough little girl. It’s time to come home. As long as her movies and shows are watched, she will stay alive. I only wish that we can dwell on her amazing talent and preserverence. Her goodness and love for others and how hard she did try.
Judy is just another victim of Hollywood. They tell these stars they need to be prettier, thinner, work harder, and when they do that, they destroy the person behind the actor. The studio, her mother, and all of the other people in her life never cared about her, only the money. Judy was a means to an end, and that's why they never attempted to get her some real help when it was apparent she was sinking. It's sad as this still occurs in the industry today.
This such a wonderful and powerful biopic about the really iconic and unforgettable Judy Garland. I swear, I've come back to this movie about three times and each time I am astounded at the attention to detail (especially since it's a made-for-tv movie.) The casting was spot on and the acting was superb.

The "Carnegie Hall" sequence (13:30) is truly INSPIRED, since we have very little of that performance on video and Judy Davis does an absolutely WONDERFUL job of mimicking Judy's actual vocals. WOW. And, just for the record, Judy Davis DID win the Emmy for her performance in this role (how could she NOT have?).
I know this comment is super old, but Judy Davis wasn't singing... That was the actual recording of Judy Garland's Carnegie Hall performance with Davis lip synching to it. But if you're referring to her mannerisms, then you're correct! Davis did a flawless job of perfectly emu lating all of Judy's movements, facial features, little idiosyncrasies, etc...
@@asherdasher5928 I clearly read and understood when the person above mentioned how well Judy D mimicked Judy G vocals. They said nothing about her actually singing them. What exactly were you supposed to be clearing up?
@@andresuston7692 I took it to mean when she said mimicking her vocals, she meant she did a great job sounding just like the real Judy Garland. Because that's what mimicking means... Imitate, replicate or resemble. It also looks like part of my comment got caught off somehow because it was supposed to say "But if you're referring to how she moved her mouth and had the same mannerisms as Judy G. while lip synching, then yes! it is spot on!"
Judy Davis is truly a masterpiece, it's addicting to see this film over and over . Even her other movies like 'Feud' and more, she's fantastic. This makes Judy Garland alive again
Judy was fucked up from the start now that I look back at this movie. Everyone around her wasn't concerned of her well-being except her children, particularly Lorna. Everybody else was just worried about getting their piece of cash when it came to Judy. It actually breaks my heart how she relied on Lorna to look after Joey because she knew she wasn't capable and strong enough to. Show business can make or break a person. It was definitely Judy's downfall.
Judy may have only been on this earth for 47 years, but what a life, what a story, What a voice, We will never forget her RIP Judy your earned it, God bless you, for your fantastic talent, to move people with your voice xxx
Allison Pill did so much with her small part as Lorna Luft ,it was hearbreaking to see her stand up to her monther,and refuse to be around her for awhile. I went through something similar as a teenager with my alcholic mother. It came take almost a lifetime to overcom the fear, guilt,saddness and pain.God bless Lorna for writing the book and producing this Tv movie. God bless Joey and Liza,too!
No matter what they went through and no matter their troubles the love between Judy and Sidney never left their hearts. A man that truly loved the mother of his children, even after their divorce he still took care of her in his own way. The children cared for their mother because they were brought up with love, she didnt toss them aside to work, she didn't want the worst for them, didnt want them to suffer the way she did, despite her addiction and them seeing it day in day out they knew how much she loved them, I'm sure they had amazing times with their mother that we didnt see not just the hard time portrayed in the film. She was ruined by fame, we have seen many celebs go down this path and tragically lose their life in the same manner. It's all down to money and celebs are used to gain it. We see the lights and action of celeb life, it all looks fun and great, see all the fake smiles, see how much money they can spend, but money dont buy happiness and we dont see behind the scenes or behind their closed doors. I have a couple of actor friends and I have seen them struggle just trying to find their next job because once they've been used and spat out that's where they're left until a lucky break comes along. This was a fantastic film and will will hopefully see it without it being in parts. Great job to all the actors/actresses they were fantastic, cant knock them for that.
True you could clearly see the love between them all. I do think Sydney Luft was probably her best husband and father to the children. It was sad when they divorced, but I also think she was probably hard to live with.
@@TeeHeejab I loved Liza in Cabaret, as the music is just captivating and fun....I wish Judy had been in the audience, like her father Vincent was, the night she won her Academy Award for Cabaret!
She finally got that Oscar this year, thanks to the wonderful Renee for her portrayal as her in the new movie, ‘Judy’. I think this movie is the better of the two, but both were very well done. At the end of the day, nothing will ever will able to do Judy the justice she deserves. She is far too rare and one of a kind for anything to even meet that, she will always be remembered and loved till the end of time.❤️
Judy pretty much understand what her daughter's feeling. "I can't do it anymore." :( That is a saddest, heartbreaking thing that Judy is hearing at 57:55
and her daughter really needed her blessing, to tell her it's okay, that she loves her and wants her to be ok, support her and reassure her. i totally feel for judy, what happened to her was beyond disgusting and she did not deserve an ounce of it and i can see why she clings to her daughter like that and felt betrayed, but we cant ignore the kids' pain in this too. as lorna says, its something she does not want to be inherited down and judy would agree. she became the cycle breaker. this started with judys mother (an enabler) and then mgm.
I still cannot believe that after all she put them through, her children, to this day, still remember her as a great mother. Now, that is some real acomplishment right there!
+Alma Guillot Even though the children bore the weight of her problems she never seemed to intentionally be mean or nasty to them like Judy's mother was to her, at least according to this bio. She just had the misfortune of everyone around her (except her father who died young) including her mother trying to cash in on her voice to the point of drugging her as long as she was performing and producing cash. Even when she had no money she never tried to use her children as cash cows like her mother and studio did to her which she could have easily done with Liza since she did have a great voice and wanted to be a "star" This is probably why all her children still spoke well about her years after her death and loved her so much. She had good intentions and a good heart but her upbringing ruined her good judgement always thinking she was less than anyone else and was loved less than anyone else.
Children who have been beaten, starved or worse still say they love their mother, it's nature over nurture it's not an accomplishment it's an embarrassment to motherhood. Alcoholic, drug addict emotionally and physically unavailable, no food in the fridge, trying to wake a drunk to ask for lunch money, HORRIBLE. Using your children as pawns in the game of divorcee, sneaking out of hotels where your mother owed thousands of dollars, Yes by all means lets give her the mother of the year award.
what is so heartbreaking... was when her daughter said "I can't do this anymore.. " in that moment I believe Judy remembered how much she want to say those words herself back when she was starting to get into MGM and to her own mother...
"20 yr old Liza" is insanely identical!!!!! I looked her up to see if she was her daughter or some kinda relative... wow... that's the best look a like I've ever seen.... omg
Whenever I hear about Judy Garland’s story it breaks my heart. And to hear what her children had to go through. My dad is an alcoholic, and I’ve had to put up with a lot of his drunken episodes. He is a secret drinker and lies all the time despite me and my mum having caught him on several occasions. I’m so thankful I have a strong mother to be there for me. But I still love my dad. He isn’t perfect but he does his best. I’m not making excuses for Judy but she was a really damaged person and was taken advantage of all her life. We should remember her for the icon and legend she was
An utterly brilliant performance by the extraordinary Judy Davis. Congratulations on your blood, sweat and tears. You were 'Judy Garland'. You, too, are a legend....an incredibly talented star. I cannot get enough of seeing you in films. Felicity.
Show business fucked Judy over intensely but I do gotta say after watching this biopic, the love she had for her kids was truly unconditional. And I think it's so great that her children, even today, only speak of how great of a mother she was. I think that was because unlike her own mother, she was never mean and nasty to her kids despite what she was put through all those years. To me Judy Garland had a great hear and pure intentions. It was what she was put through starting at an early age that made her judgment not so great and which ultimately lead to her death. People using her for a check is what made always feel less of a person in my opinion and she just wanted to feel loved, and I'm actually happy that she got that from her children through it all.
i really love how they made a point to show how funny she was. every one of her loved ones and friends said she was super funny so it's wonderful to see this mini-series really did a thorough job of researching Judy's life
@kiddlelover43= I don't think you understand what an "addict" is...An addict CAN NOT help themselves. There body absolutely craves and lives for the drugs and the brain goes in to severe withdrawal if the chemical it was used to receiving for years and years is not ingested. And it was a stigma to be sent to an institution at that time for help in detoxification. She was given "uppers" to wake her up from the "downers" that the studio (and her own mother) shoved down her throat to help her sleep. She was a tragic victim of the studio system, with no support system whatsoever.
I feel a connection with Lorna. I didn't experience all she did but my mother was on pills and drank a lot. She was diagnosed with bipolar and depression. She's better now but my child hood was all bout survival because my dad always working and my older sister would have to cook for us and help us cause my mom would be passed out in bed from her pills. I'm glad my mom is better now cause she is able to lead a better life for my nephew and so he doesn't have to see what she was like before.
Me too I go through the same with my father right from the age of 12 ,to now 52 ,it's the feeling of guilt ,and you should do more ,to make them happy ,they project their troubles on you ,it's the makes you soon miserable !!!!
my heart goes out to Lorna and Joe. Rest in peace Judy. I wish that the family could get some benefits from MGM what they did to their MOTHER I had tears in my eyes watching thisi
Her children transferred her coffin from Hartsdale, New York's Ferncliff Cemetery to Los Angeles, California's Hollywood Forever Cemetery for a private family mausoleum plot last year.
Even thought Judy never wanted to be back in LA after what they did to her, her kids thought it best for her to be closer to them so they could watch over her until they join her
Judy Davis was mesmerising as Judy Garland, she totally captured her essence - she deserved an Oscar for this! Not a bad script either. How sad that successful, talented superstars like Judy Garland, Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds and Liza Minnelli (ironic) marry weak men who leach off them. It happens over and over. Sadly it seems to be a natural law that Givers attract Takers. As women are conditioned to be Givers, they are often prey to all the Takers out there, especially in romantic relationships. I wish girls were warned about this phenomenon at school, they might we wise to it and avoid exploitation by parasites as adults!
unfortunately judy was constantly searching for her father in men. so much so that 3 out of the 5 men she married turned out to be gay, just like her father. the other two gave her the illusion of safety; she felt protected in their company. unfortunately they used her and abandoned her just like everyone else in her life did. luft invested the most into her because he was dependent on her for money. its true he got her the deal for 'a star is born' and her palace performance, but he got just as much out of it as she did. and he gambled away millions and left her in debt to the government. judy never experienced a healthy relationship so she never knew what to look for.
It is a terrible thing, when you want to be loved, and that love, is always elusive. It seems such a little thing, until you don't have it. Acceptance, appreciation, commendation, validity, confidence, or whatever else you can name that blossoms from being loved, are not easy to self generate. That desire, or need, for love drives many to do things extraordinary to feel it. For many, love just does not come in this life. Yes there are takes and other willing "to give" what is desired. . . and take all they can instead.. The desire to be loved, is too great, for most warnings. Love is far too valuable and cherished.
“How’s it going to look for you when Dorothy jumps out your window!” “Yes I've heard how difficult it is to work with Judy Garland. Do you know how difficult it is to BE Judy Garland? I've been trying to be Judy Garland all my life!” To the president JFK “Darling on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the most comfortable, how comfortable would you feel having me in your home? Oh 1, a 1 really, thank you that’s all I needed to know” “I'm not Lassie. I'm not even Dinah Shore. If you want the girl next door, go next door” Classic quotes What a hardworking women who doesn’t seem to have let fame go to her head. She’s incredible and the actresses that portrayed her were fantastic.
I'm really sorry but when she said ,what are people gong to say ,when Dorothy jumped out of your window ;I really had to laugh ,I just saw the funny side of her dramatics lol !!
Well, in a way, she did let fame go to her head, but on the flip side she wanted to be like everyone else. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work. Lol She was very, very funny though.
I feel so bad for her kids. And at the same time i feel so bad for judy too. That studio tricked her into thinking those drugs would help her. Its very sad. The studio made Judy's childhood and her children's childhoods hard. They didnt deserve it. I hope this would never happen again. Marvelous movie, thanks for sharing it.
Hope all you want but I think we all should care and pay attention to the people we are around and help or get them help over and over again until it sticks!! Such a beautiful woman who only lived twenty years after contract at 13 yrs.old. So scary out there in the movie and music industries, they just hide it better now.
Tara Fitch Really it was her mother trying to live life through Judy. Same with Michael Jackson. These parents ... they just go too far. And once you're the standout talent, forget it. You're doomed! It's sad but true. And they always start so young. Less resistence because they have no understanding of much at that age. Very very upsetting.
I was skeptical about seeing this movie, but it just made me love Judy more, even if it wasn't all true. Its 1.20am. I stayed up to finish watching. The recreations of the costumes and movie sets were just great. So glad they dubbed with Judy's own voice. Woulda been awful otherwise. I am 25 years old and Judy is my all time favourite artist and performer. I love you Judy, RIP. P.S. I cried too.
I actually understand Lorna crying so hard after telling her mother she was doing what was best for herself. My own mother had a fit when I told her I'll be moving away from her. She made me feel awful.
Judy was extremely close with Sinatra. Frank was one of her biggest fans and even stated himself that he couldn't hold a candle to her talent. Judy and Frank even had a brief love affair during the 1940s. He would visit her in rehab. Judy and Frank were far more intimate and shared a far deeper bond than he shared with Grace. So it doesn't make since that Grace simply being "connected" to Frank would earn her an Oscar when he was much more deeply connected to Judy and had much more complex history with Judy.
With everything Judy went through, I’m glad she was able to find some happiness in her kids, especially Liza, who, no question, inherited her mother’s great energy and talent. Not only that, but her kids were loyal to their mother. ❤️
I have never found a single soul more worthy of this quote; "She is a mess of gorgeous chaos, and you can see it in her eyes." Rest in Peace Dorothy. You are at rest, and we love you forever more
@@Verbsdescribeus My comment was in response to the quote orhugs posted. Maybe you should read more carefully. "She is a mess of gorgeous chaos, and you can see it in her eyes." The quote also fits Marilyn.
MGM, Warner, and others were worked her death literally. After all they were the ones who introduced to pills. I love Judy and she is still missed by millions.
that fatefull first pill MGM gave her ruined her life and childrens ye sthey have many happy times and memories but no where near as many and long lifes that they shoud have had, am just glad the children tried harder than Judy to stop there addiction and crawl injured out of that hole that MGM started a generation before and never would have happened if it wasnt for them, i cant believe she died broke, someone realy needs to put somthing in place for child stars finacialy, like take 75% and put in lifetime trust or somthing for them, its still happeneing today DRUGS / BROKE same old same old, papers and news treat as funny but the general public are horrified at it all it should not be happening EVER
Her horrible mother was feeding her pills at the age 9 and a half, and even MGM and other companies had gave her pills. During filming "A Star Is Born" she was completely clean of everything, but since filming fell behind schedule they gave her pills to take. She was clean AND THET MADE HER TAKE PILLS! LIKE WTH!
Christopher actually her mother was so money hungry she could have taken control of that situation. They would’ve hated me, my children wouldn’t be sacrificed to their Hollywood bullshit!
They all over worked a lot of their major stars back then. Pumping out movie after movie. The pills helped them cope. But as always, became a big problem.
That was an extraordinary movie. Judy Davis was glorious portraying a larger than life performer that was one of a a kind. She really got into the persona and mind of Judy Garland. It would have been unforgettable to seen the real Judy Garland back in the day.
Here's my question: Why would they go to trouble of setting up all of the equipment if she wasn't going to win? Why didn't the Academy tell them ahead of time that Kelly was going to win? P.S. Judy you were ROBBED!!!
FLBoy46 That's right, the results is an secret until the ceremony announced the winner. All awards shows do all the time. I'm only person who agree with oscar and emmy voters. Too much gambling can ruined your life. These people in the past, got no respect the Academy Awards, it's not a popularity contest. You can't bride the Academy Awards, that's legal and wrong. People are still self-centered today because they think they're better than us.
Judy, was unfortunately, out of favor with the studios. They fired her. I don't think they even liked that her picture was such a success. Although loved by everyone, the studio heads are hard to fight. Everyone knew she deserved it and should have won. It's considered, even by actors till this day, the biggest rip off of all time.
Has anyone else had sound issues with this? A crackling noise at 14:28, then the sound cuts out at 14:51, then more crackles. The second part had jerky picture.
Victor Garber is such an amazing but sadly underrated actor. I love his work. For anyone here who is a Victor fan, watch "Dieppe" it"s a 1993 ww2 film in which he plays Lord Louis Mountbatten. Victor Garber in full military uniform..you will not regret. 😊
From what I've read, the only husband who did right by her was Vincente? He treated her well but after having Liza she sorta fell into post-partum depression and started to act paranoid towards him. Of course Vincente was a homosexual so I don't think their relationship would last anyway.
Mimi Greenberg good to know! To someone who’s not familiar with Judy’s story, this movie makes it look like he’s a good one. But makes sense though, if Sid was that good a father, how come Lorna had problem even if she’s been with him? Unless that’s not true either .......
Not too sure about the new Judy biopic coming out.... But this will always be my favorite. Its a celebration of her life and her children approved of it. The ending always makes me cry, first with sadness but then with joy hearing Lornas last words about her mother.....
I can’t find anything on how Judy and her sisters fell out. She was estranged from at least one of her sisters. It’s such a shame that all three girls were not able to support each other more. But I suppose the film studios and their mother didn’t allow the sisters to have close relationships.
Sid was in large, awful to her. Of course his daughter (the maker of this and original author of the book its based on) isn't going to add the abuse and taking of her money, exploitation etc, at least not in large part, not only because she obviously wants to protect her father's image and doesn't want to hear about that kind of thing, but also because she was a toddler/if born at all when the majority of it was happening.
The IRS screws so many...I really felt for her in that struggle when they garnished all of her wages on that show. I'm 47, I thought Judy was older than this when she passed away. Her life was cut short all due to those stupid pills MGM gave her when she was young. RIP Ms. Garland...thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with the world!
In this case, Judy's money was badly mismanaged throughout her career. She was only worth about 40K at the time of her death despite the fact that she earned millions throughout her career. Her beloved co-star Mickey Rooney also had substance abuse problems and like Judy, he died flat broke owing hundreds of thousands in back taxes and medical bills.
One thing I don't understand is why didn't she sue MGM? She was robbed blind of her money and ended up owing taxes for it. They made her take pills and that robbed her of her health and childhood... why didn't she take them to court?
I’m guessing maybe because back then people didn’t like to talk about mental health problems. She might have even had a contract that said she had to do anything they asked of her who knows. People didn’t talk about the birds and the bees with their pre teens, and it was shameful to have a disability or mental health issues.
The judge asked the kids who they wanted to live with and they chose their mom. ''Mama needs us.'' is what Lorna said. Lorna felt responsible for her mother's wellbeing, which isn't healthy for someone so young. You would think the judge would take this into consideration, but maybe it was well hidden/argued by Judy's lawyers. And like someone else said, the courts tend to favour the mother, especially back then.
@@sassypants7536 I wonder how much her fame factored into this. Maybe they worried she'd make a huge media event about it and get everyone in America on her side.
I feel so bad for all of her kids. Especially Lorna with the tension she had to go through and end up having to take care of her mother and her brother and becoming the mother figure for them both. But I know that Judy Garland is at peace now, and is very proud of all of her children and their accomplishments.
It was just recently that I found out how she died, and i LOVED the wizard of oz and to find out this I cried :'( But to be honest, she had so much pressure and hurt that I'm glad she went. (not in this way of course, but at least shes at rest) She had so much talent and hope, that a bit of Judy Garland is everyone of us. She was wonderful. R.I.P Judy :')
I grew up with the Wizard of Oz playing on TV and never paid attention to it. Now 50 years later when I see Dorothy I get very emotional and when I hear "somewhere over the rainbow" I almost cry. I cried only once in my life when my mom died. I don't know why this movie and that song. A total mystery to me.
i understand what you are saying. They have been abusing her talent instead of levelling it, but now she is in Heaven where everyone loves her the way she is.
Kinnish: Same here.....Watching The Wizard of Oz drums up memories of rather good childhood for me, which tugs hard on your heartstrings. And that SONG.....and how it's sung.....I can't even imagine sitting in the audience as she sings is LIVE....I'd probably pass out. Gorgeous song, beautiful lyrics....seems to hit many emotions on a true human level... THEN add in her depth of singing those brilliant lyrics w/ the haunting music swelling in the background. Hmph....
my fave line out of the entire amazing movie about this hilarious,and heartbreaking story. "Mother I don't think I can go to London,I only have one shoe on!" Judy "Its okay they have shoes in London" lmfao

Interesting from Lorna's perspective, This sad tale of what predatory show business practices can do to priceless talent hits all the notes. Davis is astounding, if introduced too soon in the storyline.
loved her as a child and loved her as a teenager and now i'm much older than when she died i still love her..so many concerts, so much magic on those stages that i remember..she was a gift.
"I got my own academy award! My son!" That's one of my favorite lines from her :)

Agreed. Judy Davis won the Emmy & Golden Globe Awards for this performance. Deservedly so. She’s phenomenal.
"People think of me as a neurotic kid, full of fits and depressions, biting my fingernails to the bone, living under an eternal shadow of illness and collapse. Why do people insist on seeing an aura of tragedy around me always? My life isn’t tragic at all. I laugh a lot these days. At myself, too. Lord, if I couldn’t laugh at myself I don’t think I’d be alive".
-Judy Garland
Despite everything that happened to her, she tried her best to stay positive and get through her troubles with a smile. Bless that woman for her optimism.
You really believe that? I mean it’s cool, and I don’t doubt that she laughed, and believed what she said here at times. But if she saw the world that way all the time or even the majority of the time, she wouldn’t have spent her life as unconscious as possible. It is exactly the sort of thing People who struggle with addiction and mental illness say when they are good mood, and is very unlikely to be a stable or consistent state. And yes I know she started drugs early, and it was gonna be an uphill battle for her. I’m not trying to criticize, but pointing out what we all know, that she didn’t manage to conquer those demons. She was a performer and knew what to do or say to make you (audience/fan) feel the way you do, and herself as close as she could feel to be “loved“. That’s what she primarily wanted, as we all do. And sadly, just like her feeling loved, what she describes here wasn’t likely to be a consistent thing. Otherwise maybe she would’ve had a better chance with her mental health and addiction issues. Life doesn’t have to be all tragedy for it to still be tragic in some ways.
1chienandalou I agree with both of you, and yes, your right about a person that struggles with addiction...I am one. That’s hard to admit, but it’s true. I’ve been clean for four year’s, and I struggle every day, some more than other’s. If I was an entertainer, and also still dealing with the struggle, I would’ve said the same, probably mainly, because I wouldn’t want people in my business like that. Being that she started so young thanks to her mom, she probably died not really knowing her true self, her real identity, and personality. I hope not though.
cici moore I agree with you. I don’t think she knew who she truly was. She could only relate to others in what they could do for her. She didn’t have a chance to fully mature, even though she grew up too fast st the same time. Most people think she was abused by her mother and others, maybe she was, we don’t know. I think she was allowed to do what she wanted to at a very young age without considering how it would affect her later on. Children can’t make career decisions.I think she also had a way of talking to move things in her favor. It seemed to be the nature of her mental disorder. She couldn’t take responsibility for her own actions. She drove herself to her own demise sadly. I don’t think she wanted to die and didn’t think she would, but it had gone too far.
It’s telling that everyone could see it even while she lived. She should have listened. Reminds me of layne Staley and Amy winehouse.
@@corettaha7855 "She should have listened" is such a non-statement. Everyone knows that, it's just common sense. If it was that easy, "just listening" then we wouldn't have rehabs we'd have talk centres for addiction. Don't blame the victim, and that's exactly what she was. A victim of her circumstances, a child-star thrust into amphetamines and into continuing when she simply couldn't. Until it was her entire persona, that she thought she was nothing without showbiz. Because, perhaps, that's the only time she ever truly felt loved.
The actress who played Judy and the guy who played Sid....acting SOULMATES! They really worked very well together.
Yes they did.

The actress is the brilliant Judy Davis- An Australian of spectacular talent.

Because of her mother, because of MGM, because of all the husbands that neglected her, she met an undeserving death in a cold bathroom, a young woman instead of an old lady dying in her bed.

Yes, bless these children. Glad Judy Garland didn't have kids like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis
Anytime you think the problem is out there, that's the problem. Luft had it spot on -- it was always someone else's fault. And she was a tragic addict who came to a sorry end.
Yep just greedy money makers that turned her into an addict (along w her mom!) and didn’t care they ran her into the ground. So tragic 😢💗

It's crazy how talented this woman is! She has Judy's mannerisms, her talking voice sounds just like Judy, & when you watch the scene's of Judy's most famous performances it's literally like watching the real Judy. She didn't act like Judy she became Judy Garland. Love this biopic so glad I found this. RIH beautiful angel the world lost one of the most talented women that's ever walked this earth. No one since Judy could ever compare to her. Her voice was so so special. I watch her famous performance when she sang over the rainbow live dressed as the bum & I still cry. The emotion she exudes & when I see the tears roll down her face I always get goosebumps. She definitely had some serious issues but she still to the end gave everything she got. Gone too soon.
Just like Tammy Blanchard in the beginning scenes
Judy Davis may be a good actress. But she lacks as herself. Very mean spirited woman!!

Heartbreaking to hear Lorna tell the judge “ she needs us “
Judy Garland still holds the title of best voice ever in history! I'm sure this is only my opinion. she is an amazing talent and should be recognized for her Superior voice forever It's hard to accept if this is only my opinion, I hope more people recognize the true genius of Judy Garland 💖💖
"It hurts when your parent is too sick to care of you"
It just make me want to cry when I hear that :(
I can relate because I have disability and need extra help and my mother hasn’t been the same since my grandparents passed away. Her mental illness has gone down hill really quickly and you can’t even joke with her. She sometimes does act like Judy and it’s scary for my dad and I to put up with because it’s only us two. My sister is married doesn’t help much.
I can relate as well. I took care of my mom for about a year. It was tough!

The actress portraying Judy Garland seems the embodiment of her. What a fabulous job of acting! She must have received an Emmy for the part. Thanks so much for posting.
The film did won 5 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Costumes for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special - Part 1, Outstanding Hairstyling for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special, Outstanding Makeup for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie - Tammy Blanchard as Young Judy Garland at age 17 and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie - Judy Davis.
I obviously didn't know those awards were earned. Very well deserved.
Because it's say at www.emmys.com/shows/life-judy-garland-me-and-my-shadows.

Calling JFK in that boardroom was such a power move lol
John A.: That's my fav scene in the movie! I think Judy was very CLEAR in making her point, don't you? Then, after her short speech after she hung up, she turns & flings BOTH doors wide open, walking through them w/ her head held high & leaving the doors swinging on their hinges.... Point MADE, Miss Garland!
John A. That scene Said I’m THAT BITCH don’t Try me 😂💅🏾
John A. Something nobody else could do better, except maybe Joan Crawford. Davis was mesmerizing in this role, at times she simply was Judy Garland. She certainly had the voice inflections down, and facial expressions, as well as body posturing.
Funny because the CBS Executives were not impressed by her crazy act/make believe call to JFK and fired her!
Not such a power move after all!
She deserved to be FIRED after that move I would have have fired her ass also, GOOD MOVE CBS
I died when she threw herself in the pool. I felt that on a spiritual level
What a woman!! Picking up the telephone to call the prezz was the ultimate burn! She could walk her talk and wasn't afraid to work her power! She earned it! Class act and say what you will, her vulnerability made her lovable.
Respect for her children.. and the entire situation. Everyone deserved better. Frances shouldn't of gone down like that.
Knocking Owl True, but where were her sisters all of this? Why didn't they help her? It's like the only person that seemed to support her is Lorna.
BlazinBritBrat: I've often thought the same thing...Where the heck were her sisters? I can only speculate that, once she was able to get away from her overbearing Mom, she steered clear of ALL family. Also, this particular story was written (originally in book form) by Lorna, so it kind of makes sense that we see Lorna as being the main "helper" to her (since that's naturally how Lorna remembers it).
When my Dad died, it was SO odd to hear my own siblings tell stories about some of Dad's adventures (he lived a very colorful life) - As I don't remember many of the stories they swear are true. And they, in turn, think that I make up some of the memories I have about Dad.....My point is, that even if people are in the same house at the same time, kids tend to remember events much differently from each other. It's so weird how that happens.

I would love a hug from Judy Garland! Not sure why her touching the guests was bad. I doubt she was being inappropriate with them. Even if she touched people in an emotional level, thats still incredible!
The day of Judy’s funeral in NYC, was the day that the Stonewall riots started between the gay people and the NYPD, who were as homophobic then as they are racist now...(certainly not all of them, but definitely a fair share). Having talked with many of my gay friends about them adopting the rainbow as their symbol, after Judy’s funeral and the riots ended, I was told that Judy became a gay icon, because like Judy, gay people back then, felt and were, rejected by the majority, having a sense that there was no place for them to just be accepted, just like Judy’s life story.
I don't get why touching people either. It's a nice form of affection in my eyes. I would love a hug from Judy!
Whilst she was in concert i London my father worked with her in the orchestra - a big show Palladium or something. For all the talk of pills and booze and bad behaviour, my father for a whole month said she was the most professional woman he ever worked with. He said she wore slacks and a jumper, perched on a stool and tapped the music out on her knee with her finger. She sipped water from a cup. She never complained if someone played a bum note, just raised her hand. And when the concert finished she said goodbye to the whole orchestra. Later he worked with Lulu who complained bitched, threw hissy fits and would only sing in one key. She made the whole orchestra miserable and to make things worse would only play them a third of their salary. They had to sue for breach of contract. My father couldn’t believe it. He said ‘Do people actually like this girl?’
Lulu who????
Brad Markell Just Lulu. British pop singer from the 60s. Or were you being sarcastic? Lol.
Thank you for your remarks. I have watched her movies over and over and I tell you no one could sing and dance as JUDY did especially in movies from ‘ages 16 to 29 . She was always doing one show or another. Sometimes more than 4 a year. She was super human and the greatest star of her day. Ann Miller and many others loved her and talked about her great talent. She may have been late on the set but she didn’t need a lot of takes and so the filming went quite quickly. I
I think GOD finally said “You have had enough little girl. It’s time to come home. As long as her movies and shows are watched, she will stay alive. I only wish that we can dwell on her amazing talent and preserverence. Her goodness and love for others and how hard she did try.
Hi Jane Kirk. Thank you for this story.
Judy is just another victim of Hollywood. They tell these stars they need to be prettier, thinner, work harder, and when they do that, they destroy the person behind the actor. The studio, her mother, and all of the other people in her life never cared about her, only the money. Judy was a means to an end, and that's why they never attempted to get her some real help when it was apparent she was sinking. It's sad as this still occurs in the industry today.
This such a wonderful and powerful biopic about the really iconic and unforgettable Judy Garland. I swear, I've come back to this movie about three times and each time I am astounded at the attention to detail (especially since it's a made-for-tv movie.)

The "Carnegie Hall" sequence (13:30) is truly INSPIRED, since we have very little of that performance on video and Judy Davis does an absolutely WONDERFUL job of mimicking Judy's actual vocals. WOW. And, just for the record, Judy Davis DID win the Emmy for her performance in this role (how could she NOT have?).

Judy Davis is truly a masterpiece, it's addicting to see this film over and over . Even her other movies like 'Feud' and more, she's fantastic. This makes Judy Garland alive again
Judy was fucked up from the start now that I look back at this movie. Everyone around her wasn't concerned of her well-being except her children, particularly Lorna. Everybody else was just worried about getting their piece of cash when it came to Judy. It actually breaks my heart how she relied on Lorna to look after Joey because she knew she wasn't capable and strong enough to. Show business can make or break a person. It was definitely Judy's downfall.
Poor her.
Even her mother didn't want her. Right from start her mom wanted to get an abortion but it failed. Her mom was a real piece of work.
Poor baby. She was just a junkie.

Donna Rega I was amazed at how really good she was as Judy

No matter what they went through and no matter their troubles the love between Judy and Sidney never left their hearts. A man that truly loved the mother of his children, even after their divorce he still took care of her in his own way. The children cared for their mother because they were brought up with love, she didnt toss them aside to work, she didn't want the worst for them, didnt want them to suffer the way she did, despite her addiction and them seeing it day in day out they knew how much she loved them, I'm sure they had amazing times with their mother that we didnt see not just the hard time portrayed in the film. She was ruined by fame, we have seen many celebs go down this path and tragically lose their life in the same manner. It's all down to money and celebs are used to gain it. We see the lights and action of celeb life, it all looks fun and great, see all the fake smiles, see how much money they can spend, but money dont buy happiness and we dont see behind the scenes or behind their closed doors. I have a couple of actor friends and I have seen them struggle just trying to find their next job because once they've been used and spat out that's where they're left until a lucky break comes along. This was a fantastic film and will will hopefully see it without it being in parts. Great job to all the actors/actresses they were fantastic, cant knock them for that.
True you could clearly see the love between them all. I do think Sydney Luft was probably her best husband and father to the children. It was sad when they divorced, but I also think she was probably hard to live with.

Judy pretty much understand what her daughter's feeling. "I can't do it anymore." :(
That is a saddest, heartbreaking thing that Judy is hearing at 57:55
and her daughter really needed her blessing, to tell her it's okay, that she loves her and wants her to be ok, support her and reassure her. i totally feel for judy, what happened to her was beyond disgusting and she did not deserve an ounce of it and i can see why she clings to her daughter like that and felt betrayed, but we cant ignore the kids' pain in this too. as lorna says, its something she does not want to be inherited down and judy would agree. she became the cycle breaker. this started with judys mother (an enabler) and then mgm.
I still cannot believe that after all she put them through, her children, to this day, still remember her as a great mother. Now, that is some real acomplishment right there!
+Alma Guillot They would know better than anyone how she was as a mother of course.
+Alma Guillot Even though the children bore the weight of her problems she never seemed to intentionally be mean or nasty to them like Judy's mother was to her, at least according to this bio. She just had the misfortune of everyone around her (except her father who died young) including her mother trying to cash in on her voice to the point of drugging her as long as she was performing and producing cash. Even when she had no money she never tried to use her children as cash cows like her mother and studio did to her which she could have easily done with Liza since she did have a great voice and wanted to be a "star" This is probably why all her children still spoke well about her years after her death and loved her so much. She had good intentions and a good heart but her upbringing ruined her good judgement always thinking she was less than anyone else and was loved less than anyone else.
Children who have been beaten, starved or worse still say they love their mother, it's nature over nurture it's not an accomplishment it's an embarrassment to motherhood. Alcoholic, drug addict emotionally and physically unavailable, no food in the fridge, trying to wake a drunk to ask for lunch money, HORRIBLE. Using your children as pawns in the game of divorcee, sneaking out of hotels where your mother owed thousands of dollars, Yes by all means lets give her the mother of the year award.
Ella Jones it’s easy to judge when your not walking someone’s story!!!
One can judge based on the facts given, on the information provided in this movie that is my judgment.
what is so heartbreaking... was when her daughter said "I can't do this anymore.. " in that moment I believe Judy remembered how much she want to say those words herself back when she was starting to get into MGM and to her own mother...
"20 yr old Liza" is insanely identical!!!!! I looked her up to see if she was her daughter or some kinda relative... wow... that's the best look a like I've ever seen.... omg
I thought it was the real liza ????
I agree, she looks very similar! They can do alot with hair and makeup as well.
First time I saw this movie I gasped in awe in the likeness.
I forgot she had another daughter by watching this you’d have thought Lorna was her only child
It was like human sacrifice... like she reached into her chest, pulled out her beating heart, and offered it to her audience.
WOW!
Whenever I hear about Judy Garland’s story it breaks my heart. And to hear what her children had to go through. My dad is an alcoholic, and I’ve had to put up with a lot of his drunken episodes. He is a secret drinker and lies all the time despite me and my mum having caught him on several occasions. I’m so thankful I have a strong mother to be there for me. But I still love my dad. He isn’t perfect but he does his best. I’m not making excuses for Judy but she was a really damaged person and was taken advantage of all her life. We should remember her for the icon and legend she was
An utterly brilliant performance by the extraordinary Judy Davis. Congratulations on your blood, sweat and tears. You were 'Judy Garland'. You, too, are a legend....an incredibly talented star. I cannot get enough of seeing you in films. Felicity.
Show business fucked Judy over intensely but I do gotta say after watching this biopic, the love she had for her kids was truly unconditional. And I think it's so great that her children, even today, only speak of how great of a mother she was. I think that was because unlike her own mother, she was never mean and nasty to her kids despite what she was put through all those years. To me Judy Garland had a great hear and pure intentions. It was what she was put through starting at an early age that made her judgment not so great and which ultimately lead to her death. People using her for a check is what made always feel less of a person in my opinion and she just wanted to feel loved, and I'm actually happy that she got that from her children through it all.
are u kidding ? a good mother? a good mother does not do drugs great singer yes but the drugs made her act like a loony
You're an idiot. Seriously. That was a really stupid comment.
Your mother is an idiot for not knowing how to swallow or else you wouldn't be here.
jcr89 that was brilliant. can I use that?
+Pacing Tiger Beautiful comment.
Judy should've had that award! It's infuriating. Poor gal, never really was validated in Hollywood, but was so talented.
Judy Garland is validated by the audience around the world! I fell in love with her work in the 1996 when I first saw her movies as a child.
Oscars do not reward REAL TALENT.
i really love how they made a point to show how funny she was. every one of her loved ones and friends said she was super funny so it's wonderful to see this mini-series really did a thorough job of researching Judy's life
Its based on her daughter's book.
I blame MGM for what happened to Judy Garland.
I also blame Judy's mother.
Mostly everyone used her she thought was down for her
Those studios have a hell of a lot to answer for. They did the same to many stars. Used them up, then put them out with the garbage.
@kiddlelover43 maybe they had contracts, were frightened. Hollywood is very powerful......
@kiddlelover43= I don't think you understand what an "addict" is...An addict CAN NOT help themselves. There body absolutely craves and lives for the drugs and the brain goes in to severe withdrawal if the chemical it was used to receiving for years and years is not ingested. And it was a stigma to be sent to an institution at that time for help in detoxification. She was given "uppers" to wake her up from the "downers" that the studio (and her own mother) shoved down her throat to help her sleep. She was a tragic victim of the studio system, with no support system whatsoever.
I feel a connection with Lorna. I didn't experience all she did but my mother was on pills and drank a lot. She was diagnosed with bipolar and depression. She's better now but my child hood was all bout survival because my dad always working and my older sister would have to cook for us and help us cause my mom would be passed out in bed from her pills. I'm glad my mom is better now cause she is able to lead a better life for my nephew and so he doesn't have to see what she was like before.
Austin Cicero hugs!
Me too I go through the same with my father right from the age of 12 ,to now 52 ,it's the feeling of guilt ,and you should do more ,to make them happy ,they project their troubles on you ,it's the makes you soon miserable !!!!
my heart goes out to Lorna and Joe. Rest in peace Judy. I wish that the family could get some benefits from MGM what they did to their MOTHER I had tears in my eyes watching thisi
Steve Stearns Same here Steve. Judy did so much for the world & the powers that be got her hooked on drugs & used her up! Bless her soul!
And Liza
When I listen to Judy sing it makes me forget of all of the sadness and suffering she endured in her short life.
Her children transferred her coffin from Hartsdale, New York's Ferncliff Cemetery to Los Angeles, California's Hollywood Forever Cemetery for a private family mausoleum plot last year.
A Beverly so that when there time comes they’ll be buried with her
That's lovely. I didn't know that. I'm so glad.
I grew up in Hartsdale, we all knew Judy Garland was interned there,
Even thought Judy never wanted to be back in LA after what they did to her, her kids thought it best for her to be closer to them so they could watch over her until they join her
Judy Davis was mesmerising as Judy Garland, she totally captured her essence - she deserved an Oscar for this! Not a bad script either. How sad that successful, talented superstars like Judy Garland, Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds and Liza Minnelli (ironic) marry weak men who leach off them. It happens over and over. Sadly it seems to be a natural law that Givers attract Takers. As women are conditioned to be Givers, they are often prey to all the Takers out there, especially in romantic relationships. I wish girls were warned about this phenomenon at school, they might we wise to it and avoid exploitation by parasites as adults!
glamdolly20 l This wouldn't have qualified because TV movies aren't eligible for Oscars.
unfortunately judy was constantly searching for her father in men. so much so that 3 out of the 5 men she married turned out to be gay, just like her father. the other two gave her the illusion of safety; she felt protected in their company. unfortunately they used her and abandoned her just like everyone else in her life did. luft invested the most into her because he was dependent on her for money. its true he got her the deal for 'a star is born' and her palace performance, but he got just as much out of it as she did. and he gambled away millions and left her in debt to the government. judy never experienced a healthy relationship so she never knew what to look for.
It is a terrible thing, when you want to be loved, and that love, is always elusive. It seems such a little thing, until you don't have it. Acceptance, appreciation, commendation, validity, confidence, or whatever else you can name that blossoms from being loved, are not easy to self generate. That desire, or need, for love drives many to do things extraordinary to feel it. For many, love just does not come in this life. Yes there are takes and other willing "to give" what is desired. . . and take all they can instead.. The desire to be loved, is too great, for most warnings. Love is far too valuable and cherished.
Andrei Yussupov very well said
zyou just figured out the whole ball of wax
“How’s it going to look for you when Dorothy jumps out your window!”
“Yes I've heard how difficult it is to work with Judy Garland. Do you know how difficult it is to BE Judy Garland? I've been trying to be Judy Garland all my life!”
To the president JFK “Darling on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the most comfortable, how comfortable would you feel having me in your home? Oh 1, a 1 really, thank you that’s all I needed to know”
“I'm not Lassie. I'm not even Dinah Shore. If you want the girl next door, go next door”
Classic quotes
What a hardworking women who doesn’t seem to have let fame go to her head. She’s incredible and the actresses that portrayed her were fantastic.
I'm really sorry but when she said ,what are people gong to say ,when Dorothy jumped out of your window ;I really had to laugh ,I just saw the funny side of her dramatics lol !!
Well, in a way, she did let fame go to her head, but on the flip side she wanted to be like everyone else. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work. Lol She was very, very funny though.
I feel so bad for her kids. And at the same time i feel so bad for judy too. That studio tricked her into thinking those drugs would help her. Its very sad. The studio made Judy's childhood and her children's childhoods hard. They didnt deserve it. I hope this would never happen again. Marvelous movie, thanks for sharing it.
Hope all you want but I think we all should care and pay attention to the people we are around and help or get them help over and over again until it sticks!! Such a beautiful woman who only lived twenty years after contract at 13 yrs.old. So scary out there in the movie and music industries, they just hide it better now.
Tara Fitch Really it was her mother trying to live life through Judy. Same with Michael Jackson. These parents ... they just go too far. And once you're the standout talent, forget it. You're doomed! It's sad but true. And they always start so young. Less resistence because they have no understanding of much at that age. Very very upsetting.
Wrong she lived thirty five years later after.
I was skeptical about seeing this movie, but it just made me love Judy more, even if it wasn't all true. Its 1.20am. I stayed up to finish watching. The recreations of the costumes and movie sets were just great. So glad they dubbed with Judy's own voice. Woulda been awful otherwise. I am 25 years old and Judy is my all time favourite artist and performer. I love you Judy, RIP. P.S. I cried too.
I actually understand Lorna crying so hard after telling her mother she was doing what was best for herself. My own mother had a fit when I told her I'll be moving away from her. She made me feel awful.
I know how that feels. Living another person's life and feeling obliged to do so, otherwise you get emotional blackmail of every possible kind.
I can relate also. Hugs!
AngelusSpkGrrl guilt trip.
AngelusSpkGrrl Mine too. My mother had the same similarities sadly.
@@andreabezdan It's like prison. No matter how old you are, they continue to emotionally manipulate you.
Grace Kelly winning over anyone EVER was a travesty. Without a doubt the most wooden actress in Hollywood at that time.
connections. Sinatra. boom.
Judy was extremely close with Sinatra. Frank was one of her biggest fans and even stated himself that he couldn't hold a candle to her talent. Judy and Frank even had a brief love affair during the 1940s. He would visit her in rehab. Judy and Frank were far more intimate and shared a far deeper bond than he shared with Grace. So it doesn't make since that Grace simply being "connected" to Frank would earn her an Oscar when he was much more deeply connected to Judy and had much more complex history with Judy.
She was very good in A Country Girl.
Dreadful so dull
I disagree. She was very good in Rear window.
Mumma are you crazy?
Don't be silly Darling it's all part of the myth...😀
Legendary words from a legendary actress.
With everything Judy went through, I’m glad she was able to find some happiness in her kids, especially Liza, who, no question, inherited her mother’s great energy and talent. Not only that, but her kids were loyal to their mother. ❤️
I have never found a single soul more worthy of this quote; "She is a mess of gorgeous chaos, and you can see it in her eyes."
Rest in Peace Dorothy. You are at rest, and we love you forever more
orhugs Marilyn Monroe too.
@@songbirdy Marylin had no singing or acting talent like Judy Garland! Stop stupid comparisons!
Judy Garland was more than Dorothy!!!
@@Verbsdescribeus My comment was in response to the quote orhugs posted. Maybe you should read more carefully. "She is a mess of gorgeous chaos, and you can see it in her eyes." The quote also fits Marilyn.
It’s no laughing matter, but when she threw herself in her pool after throwing in her pool furniture I laughed out loud.
MGM, Warner, and others were worked her death literally. After all they were the ones who introduced to pills. I love Judy and she is still missed by millions.
that fatefull first pill MGM gave her ruined her life and childrens ye sthey have many happy times and memories but no where near as many and long lifes that they shoud have had, am just glad the children tried harder than Judy to stop there addiction and crawl injured out of that hole that MGM started a generation before and never would have happened if it wasnt for them, i cant believe she died broke, someone realy needs to put somthing in place for child stars finacialy, like take 75% and put in lifetime trust or somthing for them, its still happeneing today DRUGS / BROKE same old same old, papers and news treat as funny but the general public are horrified at it all it should not be happening EVER
Her horrible mother was feeding her pills at the age 9 and a half, and even MGM and other companies had gave her pills. During filming "A Star Is Born" she was completely clean of everything, but since filming fell behind schedule they gave her pills to take. She was clean AND THET MADE HER TAKE PILLS! LIKE WTH!
Christopher actually her mother was so money hungry she could have taken control of that situation. They would’ve hated me, my children wouldn’t be sacrificed to their Hollywood bullshit!
They all over worked a lot of their major stars back then. Pumping out movie after movie. The pills helped them cope. But as always, became a big problem.
As a matter of fact there was a tornado in Kansas the day she died. It's pretty obvious that God had come to take her to Oz.
That was an extraordinary movie. Judy Davis was glorious portraying a larger than life performer that was one of a a kind. She really got into the persona and mind of Judy Garland. It would have been unforgettable to seen the real Judy Garland back in the day.
Love how her children honor her. Even know mom was on her pills..she loved her children n her children loved her.
What a fantastic movie this really is ... Thankyou
Here's my question: Why would they go to trouble of setting up all of the equipment if she wasn't going to win? Why didn't the Academy tell them ahead of time that Kelly was going to win?
P.S. Judy you were ROBBED!!!
Because the winners never know, and that's the way it is today.
FLBoy46 That's right, the results is an secret until the ceremony announced the winner. All awards shows do all the time. I'm only person who agree with oscar and emmy voters. Too much gambling can ruined your life. These people in the past, got no respect the Academy Awards, it's not a popularity contest. You can't bride the Academy Awards, that's legal and wrong. People are still self-centered today because they think they're better than us.
ben wright No reason to be rude. Hope being a grammar Nazi helped you feel better.
Have fanfuckingtastic day!
Luke, the academy doesn't tell ANYONE if they're going to win or not. It's absolutely anyone's guess up until the final announcement.
Judy, was unfortunately, out of favor with the studios. They fired her. I don't think they even liked that her picture was such a success. Although loved by everyone, the studio heads are hard to fight. Everyone knew she deserved it and should have won. It's considered, even by actors till this day, the biggest rip off of all time.
I loved it when she called J.F.K., that was great!
Has anyone else had sound issues with this? A crackling noise at 14:28, then the sound cuts out at 14:51, then more crackles. The second part had jerky picture.
WE'RE EASILY DISTRACTED WHEN TECHNICAL ISSUES CAN TAKE ONE AWAY FROM SUCH AN EMOTIONAL, HEART WRENCHING STORYLINE OF A MISTREATED HUMAN BEING.
@@merced121 sarcasm?
Yes, sound issues here also .
@Joe WAIT WHAT?! YOU ALSO WATCHED IT NO WAY!! 😲😲😲😳
Victor Garber is such an amazing but sadly underrated actor. I love his work. For anyone here who is a Victor fan, watch "Dieppe" it"s a 1993 ww2 film in which he plays Lord Louis Mountbatten. Victor Garber in full military uniform..you will not regret. 😊
He is an amazing actor, I love him! He was great in Alias too :)
He built the titanic!!
sid truly loved her:( the casting in this movie was perfect judy davis looks like judy and teenage liza looks like liza, so great!!
Trisha C Sid truly loved loved gambling and money. Judy, not so much.
I believe Sid loved her but he had his issues too (obsessive gambling) . I think he loved her.
From this movie, my interpretation of Sid, he was a leech.
From what I've read, the only husband who did right by her was Vincente? He treated her well but after having Liza she sorta fell into post-partum depression and started to act paranoid towards him. Of course Vincente was a homosexual so I don't think their relationship would last anyway.
Mimi Greenberg good to know! To someone who’s not familiar with Judy’s story, this movie makes it look like he’s a good one. But makes sense though, if Sid was that good a father, how come Lorna had problem even if she’s been with him? Unless that’s not true either .......
Not too sure about the new Judy biopic coming out.... But this will always be my favorite. Its a celebration of her life and her children approved of it. The ending always makes me cry, first with sadness but then with joy hearing Lornas last words about her mother.....
This was narrated by Lorna which was it was approved by them...the narrator is .. lorna...
I can’t find anything on how Judy and her sisters fell out. She was estranged from at least one of her sisters. It’s such a shame that all three girls were not able to support each other more.
But I suppose the film studios and their mother didn’t allow the sisters to have close relationships.
It was Mary Jane and I think bc of alcoholism on Mary Janes part
I wish her and Sid had stayed together. And she had got off those pills 😢
He gamble all her money
Sid was in large, awful to her. Of course his daughter (the maker of this and original author of the book its based on) isn't going to add the abuse and taking of her money, exploitation etc, at least not in large part, not only because she obviously wants to protect her father's image and doesn't want to hear about that kind of thing, but also because she was a toddler/if born at all when the majority of it was happening.
@@lapetitepapillon9101 I'll take Lorna's word... she knew her father better than you.
The IRS screws so many...I really felt for her in that struggle when they garnished all of her wages on that show. I'm 47, I thought Judy was older than this when she passed away. Her life was cut short all due to those stupid pills MGM gave her when she was young. RIP Ms. Garland...thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with the world!
Candy Smith agreed Ms Garland was abused by Hollywood.
In this case, Judy's money was badly mismanaged throughout her career. She was only worth about 40K at the time of her death despite the fact that she earned millions throughout her career. Her beloved co-star Mickey Rooney also had substance abuse problems and like Judy, he died flat broke owing hundreds of thousands in back taxes and medical bills.
It's so sad. Judy's mother and Hollywood ruined her...
She also was responsible.
SirParcifal Same
She was abused by them. :(
Happy Belated 94th Birthday Judy Garland! Rest in peace.
One thing I don't understand is why didn't she sue MGM? She was robbed blind of her money and ended up owing taxes for it. They made her take pills and that robbed her of her health and childhood... why didn't she take them to court?
I’m guessing maybe because back then people didn’t like to talk about mental health problems. She might have even had a contract that said she had to do anything they asked of her who knows. People didn’t talk about the birds and the bees with their pre teens, and it was shameful to have a disability or mental health issues.
When she said "momma needs us" my heart broke
So sad what Hollywood did to her. She deserved to be treated better. Rest In Peace Judy. You were one in a million.💖💖😢😢
Outstanding performances! The movie is so moving and I have no doubt that, sadly, Hollywood does nothing good to artists!
fantastic movie...she should have gotten a award.....i think her husband should have taken the kids though, they did not need to see that
who are you to judge
The judge asked the kids who they wanted to live with and they chose their mom. ''Mama needs us.'' is what Lorna said. Lorna felt responsible for her mother's wellbeing, which isn't healthy for someone so young. You would think the judge would take this into consideration, but maybe it was well hidden/argued by Judy's lawyers. And like someone else said, the courts tend to favour the mother, especially back then.
@@sassypants7536 I wonder how much her fame factored into this. Maybe they worried she'd make a huge media event about it and get everyone in America on her side.
I feel so bad for all of her kids. Especially Lorna with the tension she had to go through and end up having to take care of her mother and her brother and becoming the mother figure for them both. But I know that Judy Garland is at peace now, and is very proud of all of her children and their accomplishments.
do not feel bad about them! the kids are in their 50, 60, and 70s now! they outlived their parents!
Happy Belated 97th Birthday Judy Garland! June 10, 1922-June 22, 1969
Good Lord, Judy Davis is pure genius!
It was just recently that I found out how she died, and i LOVED the wizard of oz and to find out this I cried :'(
But to be honest, she had so much pressure and hurt that I'm glad she went. (not in this way of course, but at least shes at rest)
She had so much talent and hope, that a bit of Judy Garland is everyone of us. She was wonderful. R.I.P Judy :')
I grew up with the Wizard of Oz playing on TV and never paid attention to it. Now 50 years later when I see Dorothy I get very emotional and when I hear "somewhere over the rainbow" I almost cry. I cried only once in my life when my mom died. I don't know why this movie and that song. A total mystery to me.
i understand what you are saying. They have been abusing her talent instead of levelling it, but now she is in Heaven where everyone loves her the way she is.
Kinnish: Same here.....Watching The Wizard of Oz drums up memories of rather good childhood for me, which tugs hard on your heartstrings. And that SONG.....and how it's sung.....I can't even imagine sitting in the audience as she sings is LIVE....I'd probably pass out. Gorgeous song, beautiful lyrics....seems to hit many emotions on a true human level... THEN add in her depth of singing those brilliant lyrics w/ the haunting music swelling in the background. Hmph....
my fave line out of the entire amazing movie about this hilarious,and heartbreaking story. "Mother I don't think I can go to London,I only have one shoe on!" Judy "Its okay they have shoes in London" lmfao
Liza Minnelli provided the voice of Dorothy in Return to OZ the cartoon sequel to Judy Garland’s Wizard of Oz

Interesting from Lorna's perspective, This sad tale of what predatory show business practices can do to priceless talent hits all the notes. Davis is astounding, if introduced too soon in the storyline.
If you ask me Dorothy, Judy, and Grace all should have won the year “A Star is Born”
The little lady with a big voice. A star was born!!! Nice movie.
loved her as a child and loved her as a teenager and now i'm much older than when she died i still love her..so many concerts, so much magic on those stages that i remember..she was a gift.
