Judy Garland on Cavett 1968

- Here's Judy...not in the best physical shape, but her wit completely intact. She's so quick you sometimes miss the funny things she's saying. About 10 minutes in, she tells a hilarious story about submissions from a amateur songwriter.
This was Cavett's brief 1968 ABC daytime show before his late-night show. When this one aired, it had already been canceled and this was among the last few installments, hence the reference to the curtains Judy admires being "available" soon.
This seems to have been taped off the air in 1968 using very primitive technology. The audio portion gets "scratchy" on occasion because the broadcast signal, probably on a TV set using rabbit ears, was being distorted.
Poor Judy was on her last legs, worn down by the business end of "the biz", as she calls it. - Розваги
Even in a complete fog her humor was still so sharp. Everybody talked about how quick her wit was.
Foggy or not.......She's running on sheer talent here.....and she doesn't miss a beat.......there is only one Judy Garland. Simply amazing .
rickw1100 Garland is sharp as a blade here, her famous intelligence and humour intact.

Amen to that !
Sheer Talent! Agreed.
@@elspethcoogan1499 she's a drunk pill-popping addict she's a waste of space
Wow - she is SO SO quick and funny, running rings around him... a brilliant girl.
Who else could jump on Dick Cavett with "How does it feel to be a legend?" She is so on and on top of her game, even with the drugs. I don't give a sh*t about the drugs. She was raised on them, and then everyone expected her to be able to give them up. Amazingly, her raging, unbelievable talent carried on. She makes me cry with her indomitable spirit.
INDEED!
Yes! Well said my friend! Couldn't have said it better myself. I also shed tears everytime I hear her voice. It's something I can't control. She's the only person to make me feel memorized, happy, warm, yet sad at the same time because how great she really was. She will always have a special place in my heart. :)
YESSS CYNTHIA!!!!!
+Cynthia Currie
well said.
(doing) the drugs probably kept her from being institutionalized... i don't doubt it was a trade-off, of sorts. She's a brilliant soul, spirit, lady, human being. (and the girl is so present too--I love that spirit)
+Lorral Whaley
to feel "memorized" is a wonderful thing...
enjoyed your words...
There’s just something about Judy Garland. Her talent was immeasurable, her wit was incredible. She died before my parents born, but her story always captivates me and brings a tear to my eye.
Poignant story from Ray Charles' autobiography:"I'm flying to New York from LA . . . a woman sits down next to me, and she starts telling me how she knows my music, which songs she likes, and how long she's been digging me. She rattles on. About an hour and a half into the flight, I interrupt her. "Look, you've been talkin' so much about me. What about you? I don't even know your name.' 'Well, I'm Judy Garland.' 'Come on, Mama! Tell the truth and shame the devil.' 'It's true, Ray. I'm Judy Garland.' So we talk through the rest of the trip and all through the night as we fly 'cross the country. She's a highly sensitive person. She pours her heart out to me and, from time to time, she breaks down and cries. At one point the stewardess hears her bawling and comes over to ask me what I've done to her! Anyway, Judy had me over to her place in New York a couple of times. She saw me simply as a cat she could talk to. And she knew that what she told me would never leave the room. She was a delicate and high-strung lady, and when she cried, her ters were for real. She'd kept too many things inside for too long."
That is a pretty amazing story.
Uhhhhh, they are called "memoirs" so you KNOW they are a biography. Mr. Charles was recounting a story from his life. Dead or not now, he still met Judy on the plane. And that is a fact.
I was speaking to the commenter above me. They said they had wanted to go see Ray, live in concert. A feat now impossible, due to his death.
I think he means "Got" in the past tense
Renne, Cubomania3 was actually saying that he had got to see him live, not that he wanted to at some point in the future. Renee, you're quite a basico, go back to your self indulgence and superiority.
I was born in the 60's, grew up in the 70's. I knew a little about Judy Garland but never got the chance to see her outside of a few of her films. These videos of her are a revelation. What a supreme and rare talent she was, and what charm and charisma. Makes you realize how mediocre and pathetic today's film and singing "stars" actually are.

Such a shame. She had more talent in her little finger than most others and met a sad end
More talented what?
But what a life!
Apparently if you need it explained to you; you must like Marilyn Manson or one of the other contemporary non-talented pieces of s__t that the modern day "youth" thinks is talented.
rhea mangles Most talented and brilliant people usually do end up meeting sad ends.
But they're remembered.
Little baby Judy was drugged from the very first day she was put on stage. They deemed her fat. When she was very skinny. Just a little bit plump but skinny. They put her on meds to have her lose weight. Then they put her on pills to make her hyper. They put her on pills to make her sleep. They put her on alcohol. I don't think she really had a choice on what went on in her life. All I know is that the interviews like this show how witty she was towards the end. It's sad to watch but it's true. Judy Garland will never be replaced.
Cavett was/remains the master at his game; and whats clear about Garland during the interview, behind the obvious, is her fiercesome intelligence, razer sharp wit, and that self deprecation that makes you forget what a legend in the truest sense she was. Nice to hear the audience rooting for her all the way.
At this point in her life in 1968, she was medically sick. Her liver was literally giving out. Even if she had not had had her accidental death later in '69, her time could not have lasted much longer on this earth. Thankfully, she was spared of having to spend her last days in a hospital bed as her liver failed her more and more. She was unstoppable. She gave us that voice as a gift to us; she never denied it to her audience. And I cherish being able to hear every last song she would sing for her fans even to her final end. I'm the lucky one to have known of her talent. I am grateful for what she gave us right up to the end. Her singing gives me more than I could ever have given her. What a woman. What a singer. What a performer. Thank you, Judy. Thank you.
+Ed Dem Beautiful words. Thank you.
+Ed Dem
so sad for me to think that she looks like she should be alive now--a truth-teller! Awake, even drugged! How rare is that?
Someone with heart. The liver giving out could have been reversed. Please, anyone, get, read, and act on "The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush".
It'll save you years of therapy, and save your life!!!
The liver stores anger. The GB, bitterness. The kidneys, fear, the lungs, grief, etc. you will not learn this form mainstream MDs. You can take back your own lives!
If Judy had done a few liver flushes, (and Liza too!) she could have de-toxed the drug residues AND a lot of the emotion... She saw the beast machine, and yet, it was her life-blood too. It's not so much the crazy off-side stuff that does us in: it's the body/mind/spirit's inability to process and integrate how something can be both good and bad. Both poison and the hand that feeds... (like the hollywood star-making machine...)
Here in duality, where we all live, our work is about coming to a place of being able to make peace with all opposites. Truly, if people knew they could de-tox drugs, and rebuild the LIVE-R, we could all live longer and better.
my health and clear-mindedness has been getting better and better. And I too had things to overcome.
...
+Ed Dem
yes, thank you. thank you, thankyou.
+Olhamo almost all comments here are insightful and loving, some are truly great, but yours, imo, provides such an acutely high level of awareness, that it provides SOLUTION (though sadly, not for our beloved Judy). It's true, that the Hollywood machine was both beast and provider, but much more important to realize that here on earth, all is duality - every single experience has both its good and bad - at least according to our utterly human perspective, and it is essential to our sanity and survival to know how to respond to all things in ways that we will leave us stronger and more independent, instead of weaker and abused, leave us calm and happy, instead of sad and despairing. She was too young though when it all started: the feasting of the child star and the resolute determination of studios and those who refused to relinquish their control of her through the pills that DOCTORS AND HER OWN MOTHER fed her, since she was still a child! I think the only female in those days who knew how to "out-monster the monster, instead of being devoured by the monster" - was Mae West!
Even drugged to the drapes, that woman exudes more star-power and wit than a million exploding suns. She's clearly on her way to death, here, but she was lovable and funny and she sang the way a legend sings. I can't imagine how the "mass media" must have grasped her in the late 60s. Dorothy dying before their very eyes. But she was the first multi-media superstar, who conquered film, records, television, stage, radio, etc. Her professionalism shines through the barbiturate haze, here. RIP, Judy. You're forever young & brilliant.
MaryStewart ... Yeah, well, Mary, we all know that Homo-Defendin' is the No. 1 sin that sends the Unsaved plunging down the Infernal Elevator Shaft directly into the 14th Circle of Brimstone, but what we DON'T know is how doctors were able to remove the baseball-sized tumor from your head without harming the four squirrels fighting each other for that peanut stuck to the bottom of your skull. That, I believe, is a miracle. Jehovah be praised.
MaryStewart What a nasty little piece of work you are, Mary Stewart. I venture to say on her worst day, Garland was a better Christian than you are, as are any number of gay Christians who don't use the Bible, as you do, to attack and belittle people. You would have made a very good Pharisee, disdaining Christ for consorting with prostitutes and tax collectors, and leading the chorus chanting: CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM!
MaryStewart, did you ride to school (during the 6 or 7 years you apparently attended before dropping out of middle school) in a small yellow bus for a few "special" kids with severe brain damage?
@gerry robinson and @soles ... Well done. We don't want anyone to feel bad, but if you MESS with JUDY ... all bets are off. Come on over, boys, we'll listen to Chris Isaak records and talk about the days when people were honorable. Say the word. Cheers~
Jonathan Kieran merci, and I don't care for the shaming bitch sitting next to Judy, the shamer seems to smirk and do eye rolls when Judy says something silly or different, the shamer was probably some has been soap actress who was a closet alcoholic
Difficult to watch, but even in her altered state, she was wonderful. Her sense of humor remained. God bless her soul.
Even at her "worst" she's the Best.
Like today Adderall will change things.
Didn't realize this footage existed. That's me on the piano in the Peter Follo songs!
Whooeee!
Awesome! :)
You're in Lorna's "Me and My Shadows," one of the many gay men who plied Judy with booze, pills, housing and companionship near the end of her life. "These weren't fans, they were freaks," she wrote, adding that Judy's confusion didn't help this type of situation where men thought what was left of Judy's star luster would rub off on them. I was one of the few who bought your book retail, and the sexual aspects of it were disgusting. And even if true, proved nothing. Without the blur of booze and Ritalin, Judy wouldn't have given you the time of day, much less tried to promote your- I use the term loosely- career.
A Krenwinkle
Burn!
WOW!!!!! Congratulations on a fabulous career!!!!
Marktheho If assisted suicide is a career...
"I haven't had a good break for a long time..." followed by jokes, but I think that's one of many things Judy said that people should have taken seriously.....
it's right before 6:29
A class act to the very end. She handled herself beautifully. The Hollywood machine chewed her up and spit her out. You can feel her underlying sadness and fatigue. Cavett was gentle with her and that says everything about him.Judy, I hope you're Somewhere Over The Rainbow happy and at peace. We miss you!
she could of worked at sears
Seems like She was drunk, felt so sorry seeing her like that. She was a good person
She should have taken her money and bought a ranch in Montana, fuck hollywood and live happy and sober!
@@ryanschmit3948 she had no money. All of it was embezzled.
I totally agree! Over the Rainbow and in the sphere of our love and affection with her looking down....especially this June month of her passing. Get the Live 2 CD set of her concert at Carnegie Hall. Heaven.
Liza in interviews has said her mom had a wonderful personality and yes she does!
Mimi, your comment is such a gracious contribution to this page. Thank you.
I mean she’s pretty hammered
She's drunk, man.
The remarkable thing about Judy Garland is not necessarily her vocal talent, but the way she interprets a song. Even if she doesn't sing technically well on any given night, it's her interpretation that you feel and connect with her. She simply draws you in and you're hooked.
I think she sang this song very well with all the pathos and emotion dead on!! LOVE HER!!
Judy Garland sang with HEART. She is without equal in this regard, IMHO.
This interview is historic and priceless , I wish someone could restore it since it is in such bad shape....
My God, that voice. And to think she was actually insecure about it. One of the most gifted human beings to ever grace this planet. RIP, Judy.
Yes, singer, actor, dancer, etc. None like her, ever.
She was so witty
I wonder if because women were expected to have a mouse voice in those times, do u think that's why she was insecure about it?
Even in her sadly diminished condition at this point, she still had it, and she could still bring it.
I always like to say....and true with myself too....THE ARTIST IS HIS/HER OWN GREATEST CRITIC. We are always hardest on ourselves. God Bless Judy and Liza and Lorna et al.
And Cavett is very good with her: also quick & witty; & very respectful; & helping her out as much as he can. Good man.
It's hard to be respectful without being sycophantic or fake, but Cavett always pulled it off.
He really brought out the best in people. So charmingly disarming.
Amazing how she suddenly gets lively and near-sober when she begins to sing. That's pure talent, folks. Even the drugs and alcohol didn't keep that from showing.
Today is June 22nd 2019 and the 50th anniversary of this Great lady’s passing. She will always be the greatest entertainer of all time! God bless you Judy..
Amen, Saxon.....I'm on the same page as you....100%! JUDY is the best of the best.....ALWAYS!
Today June 22nd, 2024
Wow! Blood-stain runners! How perfect to describe the underbelly of "the biz." What a talent. What a shame. But this woman will be remembered forever-but what a price she paid.
I am not familiar with that term. Who were the aforementioned "runners" she refers to?
@@mariaa.5829 she was saying that someone would get wiped out, and then get rid of the evidence.
Geez, that song she sings at the end just rips your guts out. Heart-rending.
She was a household name before she ever learned how to live. There will never be another one like her.
There is something to be said about Judy here...that there are no hateful nor derogatory remarks made at her expense by the viewers.. Thank You. It speaks of her kind, gentle, and giving Soul. .
On that last song; brought tears, knowing she would soon be in the care of the angels.
You're NOT alone! I also realized during that last song, Judy really, really gave us her all,, I could actually see it in her eyes and her wonderful voice, my GOD what a powerful and wonderfully vibratic voice~!~
I do agree with her saying "it's because of my good spirit" she rocks
She's just fabulous. I adore her! Even near the end of her incredibly hard life, she still manages to be so entertaining and witty. A legend!
I am amazed at her beautiful giving spirit. She was abused by the industry and I wish the interviewer would have let her speak more of it..seems he cut her off. She made more sense then the others...An amazing talent and beautiful woman.
you are someone I could truly like.
mamatibbors cassady
Isn't it like the blood sucking industry of Hollywood to use her and suck her life out of her and then condemn her for what they did to her! I see that happening all the time and have decided I deplore the whole lot ....
Rosalind Babb Isn't that the truth? It pains me to see everyone focusing on her addiction and condemning her. Regardless of what she put in her body to help eliminate whatever pain she felt in her life, she was a remarkable soul, a loving mother, and a true talent the likes of which we very rarely see.
Judy Garland truly was the Greatest Entertainer of the 20th Century.
Poor judy so close to the end bless her heart
Why can't Dick Cavett reruns be on Netflix or something? I loved him.
re runs of his show are on in some places. I get it , but not on cable.
He’s on Hulu and also on the Decades channel!
They're all on tubi. You're welcome.
My thoughts exactly! I miss the days of Dick Cavett and Johnny Carson.
Decades Channel it's on!
such a shame in the last year of her life. She died at 47 in 1969. On her worst singing night which would be rare she would sill be better than any of these so called superstars of today
She was only 47??? Smh.
roughtake In a word, tragic. One of a very small handful of the greatest voices of the century and her tragic life became that way because of her mentally ill mother. Who was to blame? So many, but none really!
mrfester42 : Don't forget the studio moguls who drugged the bejeebers out of her. Amphetamines to pep her up and lose weight, and then barbiturates and booze to enable her to get some sleep.
The handful of pills that her mother, I believe regretfully stage mom to Judy and the source of one part of the complex drug use in the 30's. She was an exited hyper kid who could have used caffeine and some mild Benadryl or amytal as needed.
I have to say I agree by it was a mildly needed treatment for a girl working 5am till late into night. not right for all the time. but she needed to make the money and qafter 1935 Benzedrine was added as a reverse pill AM to wake up, keep going and if they let her, stop and eat and rest. but after amphetamine like Benzedrine, all you want is relief from the crash anxiety and insomnia. plus Seconal was like instant 20 min relief with a similar to morphine feel and it was all overtill dawn. the booze wasn't a 1950ad for her liver with Ritalin as it makes methylphenidate in to hylphenidate and a aged liver.
She has everyone hanging on every word she was amazing. She really loved her audiences that's why we loved her so much
There are only a few words to describe this legendary woman: Iconic, genius PEERLESS, never forgotten megastar!! RIP!
I love when she jokes that show biz is Hideous-because she really means it. But with grace she says she loves the audience.
Given all the sadness in her later life, its really inspiring to hear how the audience went absolutely nuts in welcoming her.
Who cares if she's drunk or high ! She's still so talented charming and truly captivated all of her audiences !
There Will never be any other women like Judy Garland !!😻
I loved her voice in the early years.
You should care. Being drugged out is what killed her.
If you like her, you should care.
no he is accepting her right at this moment for who she is, and whether he is wrong or not about her being inebriated it doesn't matter. Because she is just divine regardless hope that makes sense@@gustenhr
Listen to what she's saying... when she said they separate the artist from the audience... and how she says Hollywood is horrifying or horrific... forgot what she said... but she's saying a lot and everyone is just laughing but she's serious..
her little comments are very telling
❤️
But she is a hardcore drug addict that is depressed
leo bonita because Hollywood drugged her, abused her, they messed her up
Talking about having to drink chicken broth to get rid of baby fat
This footage is a treasure. Thanks a lot of posting this.
She so totally came to life when she was “on”, singing. I think that was the only time she was happy, when she was lost in a song.
@JessikaEmerald so can I, but I totally relate to Judy on several levels.
What a brilliant sense of humor she had. Judy is one of a kind, and will be loved until the end of time.
I think she knows what's going on more than she lets on, but wow, I'm staggered by how fast her life aged her well beyond her years.
She had aged so rapidly she wasn’t even that old 😔
She died at 47. I'm 60..don't take drugs..
Chemicals can do awful things to the body 😑
This was pure talent. Show her a whole 3 minute dance routine once and she'll do it again from memory, in sync. True talent. Like a star. Sometimes societies get a Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Mozart, Chanel, etc.... Those are people to look up to and give us a good time while we're here
"I haven't had a good break in a long time" the poor poor amazing most wonderful woman
wow-she is so brilliant no matter what state she be in- Witty for sure-
I
She is a Gemini! Totally the witty pixie lady sign!
ohhhh- those Gemini's ! I did not know that- THANK U!
My grandfather was a Gemini, born on June 10th coincidentally, and he was smart and witty up until a few hours before he passed. He was so intelligent that it was just the way he was. He didn’t even try to be funny. I notice similarities between he Judy here.
She was so beautiful and died looking twice as her real age ... Hollywood are monsters
Complete arseholes what mgm did to her.
Let's not kid ourselves. There's nothing uniquely evil about Hollywood that doesnt also exist in all big corporations. Hollywood is just more visible.
@@Tmanaz480 but they're all just in the one place there heavily concentrated
I was just thinking that...she looks 80 WTH
My thoughts exactly 💔💔 what Hollywood did to that woman was disgusting!! When I was like in my twenties and I saw a picture of Judy Garland few months before she died not knowing her life for anything I assumed she was like close to 70 years of age. When I show my children today these old videos they also think she's like 70 years of age. That poor woman was brainwashed by Metro Goldwyn Mayer to believe that she wasn't worthy of taking care of her own body and mind. He owned her and she was so young she went with it. 💔Once the damage is done and they brainwashed💔 you to believe that you're nothing without metro Goldwyn Mayer. I Hope they've corrected all that in Hollywood now because that was watching someone slowly die in front of my parents' eyes and being unable to do anything about it. She was on board medications and then she upped it up with alcohol that she was never sober thru her entire childhood and then as she started to grow up!! It always seems that these Legends just always have such a really sad behind the scenes story. 💔💔🌈🌈 Rest in peace Judy and hopefully you are somewhere over the rainbow 🌈🌈💔
As a child I loved her so much that I cryed for a week when she passed. Such talent unsurpassed.
What a lovely rare gem you have shared here! As a Judy Garland fan, it is always a thrill to see something you've never seen before. Judy was and is a great star, and even here where she is clearly not at her best, her wit and talent shine through. The song is so sweet, and it almost seems that she could be singing about herself, needing help and courage. God bless her, and thank God for people like you who share great things like this that otherwise, we would never get to enjoy.
Even drugged or drunk (maybe both) she's witty, candid and utterly charming. A very lovable lady who will always hold a special place in people's hearts and minds.
absolutely--today's stars after their veggie smoothies are bland, boring and self absorbed
Such a sweet funny lady, she touched so many lives, she deserved better. I hope she found her happiness over the rainbow.
"Where are we going??" HAHAHAHA I love her
What an unforgettable woman and talent, and a tragic and heartbreaking life. The studio system chewed her up and spit her out when they had used her in every unimaginable way. A good heart, a sad soul.
Judy's wittier stoned than all of todays' stars put together--she's the real deal--she stayed with us as long as she could.
You can lose everything but your talent, this is the evidence.
windstorm1000 whatever
windstorm1000 She’s not stoned! How many times and in how many ways can this be emphasised? She never EVER ingested street drugs of any kind. She was dependent on prescription medication. Her body was worn out at this point, her adrenal system must have been shot to pieces. She was fighting a losing battle. It’s very sad and painful to watch a woman who in this clip is soon about to die. Have compassion and respect when making comments, rather than moronic flippant remarks.
This is what happens to a champion when she has been used and abused for decades! 4'11" tiny lady who men robbed. Will you ever see a talent like that? Live? I did! You believe pop princes with auto tune and pyrotechnics and dozens of dancers, and the music track and backing vocals and even most of the lead vocal recorded are any good. Judy in her prime live.......beyond description!
I know! the album of her at Carnegie Hall in 1961 is incredible. she performed 29 pieces live in one night. And 1961 was already past her prime imagine if she was at her best! she was just incredible and pure talent that sadly met a tragic end just a year after this interview
Don Diego Vega I feel so lucky to have seen Liza perform in 1991 or 1992! I was 21 or 22 and had always been a fan of anything Broadway and anything related to Judy including Lorna & Liza!
out 1
Golden Voice. Tragic and disgusting what MGM put her through.
nobody told her to do drugs or stay in the game shes a grown woman she made her awful decisions
Judy Garland will live on forever in our hearts She will always be known has the little girl with the big voice Such a bright powerful star yet so vulnerable There is no talent like hers lovable and down to earth a legend that will live on forever
She was the definition of a true "Star"; an entertainment genius, a staggering talent, a sharp mind & quick wit, extremely vulnerable, thoroughly genuine giving, but also tragically flawed, alcoholic and exploited. But WHAT a star - no one comes close. RIP
She had such a unique voice. And the warmth she exudes is entirely genuine. There will never be anyone like her again. Thank you for the upload.
So young, only 47. I thought she was older, but her spirit lives. She is singing and laughing in heaven. :)
Somewhere Over the Rainbow isn't just a song, it's a state of mind. Especially for Judy Garland.
I just wish there was someone to open up their arms and help poor Judy. What a woman one the best actress singer in the world. No one holds a candle to her. She is the greatest of all
God wanted her
Those lucky people to be sitting alongside watching her sing up close. Even with the frailities showing, she could still spin a musical web of magic around a song, and hold an audience captive.
People can say whatever they want about her.. but, I can't help but smile whenever I watch her.. truly an icon
She is so adorable and charming. I fell in love with her, as millions did when I first saw The Wizard Of Oz. I was mesmerized by her vocals. That song still brings me to tears, especially knowing what her mother and MGM put her through. There will never be another Judy Garland. She is an American treasure! Rest In Peace sweet angel. ❤️❤️❤️
She's so charming in this interview. No matter how dark she got, Judy Garland always had some level of composure you'd never have expected with all of her inner turmoil. A great sense of humor.
love her more than I can say. She embodied so much. She was every elegance and every voice and every feeling ,,,so many things...all in one. She was also blues and depth - if you know how to find that in her or from her. She is great here in this footage. Honest. Herself. Warm. She knew how to make people feel loved. Maybe that was her real gift.
Spot on.
This aired December 16, 1968. She was gone six months later.
So sad
Really, wow, pretty woman
Wow
Poor Judy...47 going on 77 in this interview..she was still witty tho.
Dick Cavett was great as usual...love him!
funny, I don't think she looks that old. Didn't push plastic surgery or she didn't do it. But, her health was not good, so it does show.
kmeccat It is sad to see her like this. She must have been 45 or 46 here depending on what month in 1968 it was.
nene w She is a legend. She was a star. Everybody commenting on this page admires her but you seriously can't pretend she looks well for her mid 40s. She is about the same age as I am now on this video. I don't know anybody my own age who looks this rough or shuffles about like that or struggles to get their words out like she is doing here.
kmeccat just a year before she passes away
kmeccat She was 47 here?? Really?? Oooh,..yes,she certain appeared older. Shame how the business treats you.
This is a wonderful insight into the world of Judy Garland...the song she sings at the end is heart-wrenching...
certainly is Jeffrey.
Although I saw the Wizard of Oz many years ago, I never saw much else with Judy Garland until I recently started watching her movies on TCM. She was absolutely beautiful when she was younger and her talent is mesmerizing. It's hard to believe she was so young with that big voice. All the characters she played were very nice 'girl-next-door' types whom any man would want to date. When I think about all her tragedy behind the scenes, it is absolutely heartbreaking. In this video, despite everything that wore her down over the years, her humor and talent shine through. There will never be another.
Her whole life is trippy, almost like the wizard of Oz was a an art-form of her life where she's questioning reality and Oz was wacky Hollywood.
I feel so bad for her, I never knew her life story and now that I do, just can't believe what she went through. I don't blame her for drinking or taking pills. Poor woman R.I.P.
It's interesting that Judy is viewed so tragically, because she never thought of herself that way. She talked with her children about that. I know people who worked with her who also talked about that. She was unbelievably kind to her fans; I have many stories about that. She was such a brilliant artist Gordon Jenkins would weep when leading the orchestra at her Capitol recording sessions and at concerts, weep for the joy of her abundant gift.
I weep every single time I hear her sing. There's just something about the raw emotion she puts into every song. It's so honest and beautiful, it cut right through me, and yet I want to listen again and again. I will forever love Judy Garland...
Matthew Matousek she had borderline personality disorder. Her children know that and she loved them more than anything. She tried her very best. She had one one the most traumatic and lonely lives and yet she still managed to bring light and joy into the world and maintain her own kind of strength, even in her darkest hours.
Victoria Facciolo I can completely agree and identify with this. I have a close friend with Borderline personality disorder and it still is not completely understood and hard to fathom unless you live in it yourself or have a loved one struggling with it. I don’t consider my friend a tragedy or shame at all. Hard time for sure, but we’ve had quite a nice life as friends, as she makes the best out of life she can. She’s still here but not everyone makes it through. We don’t know what all Judy struggled with exactly, and we can’t judge. She contributed a lot.
Sweet, beautiful, Legend, Judy. Much loved. Much missed.
1968 ... Miss Garland was just a year away from dying, it really shows.
The quality of this recording matches Judy's demeanor so perfectly. Thank you!
My thoughts exactly. It is so difficult to watch, yet just as mesmerising as everything else she ever did.
Every time I think of how she ended up I just want to cry.
How priceless. . . . .she was so resilient. . .and so touchingly human. I just LOVE that FACE! No performer EVER gave more of herself than Judy.
Her kindness, vulnerability and incomparable talent are stunning and deeply moving.
Watching oct 2019?
Yup Yup...:)
Same, Judy is wittier than ever ❤️❤️
@@dirtymartini4107 Wonderful to come upon this gem of Judy being Judy. Be great to have her over for coffee and chatting, yes?
Love what was captured on old VHS tapes. I had years worth of great TV that I taped on VHS but had to get rid of it in a sudden push to have to move after 20 years in the same rented house. Would have loved to share some like this...
I Just saw the movie...it was wonderful but sad...I will love and miss... Judy Garland.
This footage, while it is heart wrenching, is so wonderful, so priceless. I know very little about such things, but I wonder, isn't there something that can be done to restore and improve the footage?
@david lincoln brooks I have a feeling your feeling is correct.
Besides which, in the 1950s through roughly the early '80s, most network daytime television programming on videotape was wiped and the tapes reused for future programming, due to the greater expense of videotape and more limited storage capabilities. But as video software became more compact, and now especially with digitization, it is much more possible to save and store daytime network TV programming, albeit, ironically, at a time when less of it than ever before is worth preserving.
I didnt know this existed either. Something for the younger ones to watch this month of PRIDE to appreciate JUDY and their History.
I'm sure that with improved technology, that the image can be improved.
amazing how she can sing perfectly when she is obviously on a different planet god bless her such a showoman x
If you think what is heard is perfect singing, she is not the only one on a different planet.
A Krenwinkle oh can you sing better don't think so she was an icon and if you can please send me a track of you singing cos I sang with popstars so I will know if you are shit why do people have to be so disrespectful x
Julie Edwards As a matter of fact, I and many others can produce a better sound than is what is heard here. This is not the real Judy. But it's not about me, Einstein. You are very young and not familiar with Judy, born long, long after she died, with too little information to be commenting here on a topic you know nothing about. She was too ill here to do real singing, and you are too uneducated to write real English.
What does being doped up and singing good have anything to do with anything. I sing the same drunk or not lol
After losing Kirk Douglas at 103 years old, & realising Judge was only 47 when she passed, reminds you that she was so young. Rest well Judy. Xx
Kirk broke her baby box
She was an aul messer lol and we love it. I wasn't even born when she died and yet we all know her. So witty and super talented. Lovely personality and beautiful. Hollywood should have cared for her and minded her. They let her rot. Shame on them. RIP ledgend xxxxxxxxxxx love from Ireland xxxx
This woman was used and destroyed by the entertainment business I have so much respect for her and I hope she's at peace now with the holy Spirit 🙏
What a wonderful personality. Witty. Charming. Effective.
Even though she struggled with a ton of drugs, she still spoke and acted so elegantly
This poor beautiful human being is in such bad shape on this program that it breaks your heart. She was so heavily medicated in her latter years that I'm surprised she lived as long as she did? The media & press has destroyed so many beautiful people in Hollywood and look at the trash we have today that they call talent. Judy Garland was talent & there will never be that kind of talent in this world again, never!
Bo Hector I totally agree with that Judy Garland was a phenomenal talent whose finesse shines today, but I disagree that there will never be this kind of talent ever again. Maybe, this is for the best when you consider how hard Judy's life could be.
Hollywood didnt destroy her ..her money obsessed mother did ..plus her leech husbands ...sad story but her legend Iives on ..
The men in Garland's life exploited and treated her like crap including husbands,agents and directors .
She passed a year later. That song touches everyone I think because we all long to fly over the rainbow.
so witty, so intelligent, so lovely.
thank you for letting us see this.
Cavett was always my favorite interviewer. As we found out in later years, he understood depression. I think he understood Judy
oh she is so funny...despite the downers she sparkles. amazing
blame the studio she worked so damn hard to please her fans and family and muchey hubbies
@@HEAD3455 "moochy"? Husbands "mooched" off her. But what about vincent minelli (Liza's dad). Wasn't he good to her? Minelli didn't steal her money, did he?
Difficult to watch, but I’m so glad this priceless gem survives her, every word and gesture.
I was 7 yrs old when my family watched her on the Cavett Show....2000 yrs later and she's still awesome.... 🙂
Even though she was very tired and at the end of her life , her voice was still so pure RIP Miss Garland never ever equaled 🇫🇷🇬🇧
God love Judy Garland. No matter how intoxicated her personality emerges thru the storm clouds and for brief moments reveals the heart and soul that comprised her great genius for capturing us.
Drips charm and charisma and wit when she's clearly something or other, i.e., challenged in one or more ways. They don't make 'em even remotely like this anymore.
I grew up loving Judy Garland and it wasn't because of The Wizard of Oz, though I loved it. (I'm born in '57)My parents had several albums, my favourite, her concert @ Carnegie Hall. I, too, was "Judy" and I loved to sing! Bless her. Thank you for having this, for sharing it. I really like David Cavett's interview style, wit & the evidence of his 'homework' on the guest. This is a real treat! You're fortunate to have it and I'm fortunate to have found it, thanks.
Judith Hand Dick Cavett. Not David
Two Class Acts sitting next to each other. Thank you for this.
PoorJudy, under the influence of something, she still rises above the situation. A Star among Stars.
