- I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto, and things aren’t so wonderful down the yellow brick road. Her wide-eyed spunk and earnest performances made Judy Garland America’s sweetheart. But what was her experience like filming The Wizard of Oz? Just how much money did she have to her name by the time she died?

My wife and I have in our kitchen, a 6.5 foot tall tree with nothing but "The Wizard of Oz" ornaments / with lights on it. It stays up year round. Judy Garland will always be remembered in our house. What a talent, what a loss to the world. RIP Judy.
Cool!!
So sweet. ❤
you should show pictures of the tree I know I'd like to see it
Rad awesome cool gorgeous exquisite beautiful
That is very nice!
There is a special hell for Judy's mother and all the adults that mistreated her.
The Wizard of Oz holds very happy memories for me in my childhood. When I watch it now it is bittersweet knowing all the crap she was going through.
Long live Judy Garland, gone but never forgotten.
I feel the same way now
Most of the children stars was SA & abused 😢 even Shirley Temple she talked about it later look it up very sad 😞
I feel the same way! She was a great person despite her countless sufferings.
I always like to say, “I know that Judy is a wonderful angel in Heaven.” Judy knows that many of us on Earth love her.
It was tragic the way her life went. I thought Liza was something else. I heard that she paid off her mother's debt after her passing. She has earned my respect
Judy Garland was molested by Mayer an absolute pedifle if it was today like Weinstein he would be in jail getting his BS thru the ass
So sad that everyone took advantage of this amazing woman. 🥺
Yeah ikr, that's just Hollywood for ya and fame.
Judy was a phenom. My mother saw her last performance at The Palace Theater on Broadway in 1967.
That’s awesome,,
I can’t even imagine what that was like; and I can’t imagine how your mother felt when she learned that Miss Garland had died
@@pbohearn When my mother saw her at the Palace Theater, she told us that Judy's voice was simply incredible! In those days there were no body mics, so when you performed on stage, whether singing or speaking, your voice had to reach the second balcony. Judy definitely had that projection! When she passed away, it was a terrible shock, obviously because it was such a tragedy, but also because they were exactly the same age. Judy's birthday was June10, 1922 & my mother's was June 11, 1922. They were both 47, at the time of Judy's death.
@@Ephemeral2023 No, she didn't. Judy's engagement at the Palace was several performances, so I don't know if they performed with her there on other nights, but not the night my mother was there.
I also saw this performance. What I still remember is how the room was so full of love you could almost cut it with a knife!! Wow!
Rest in peace, Judy Garland. She lived such a tragic life, yet I hope that she's happier somewhere over the rainbow now.
Ah bless you what a lovely thing to say.
I don't believe she was anymore unhappy than the usual single mom, the only difference is Judy brought joy to the world and that counts for something.
My. Sentiments. Exactly
Those of us Garland followers know all the points in this video. But they left out contributions of people like Roger Edens who brought out the richness of her voice. Also they left out, as most do, the incredible sense of humor she had.. for example the wonderful interviews with Jack Paar. Also it is so sad the way people constantly hammer on about her "tragic' life. There was so much more than that. She constantly said how blessed she was in her children.
They have obviously used as a reference the personal tapes she made when she was planning to write her autobiography. They are a collection of rants against MGM and Sid Luft. Also, keep in mind that Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft have both said she would stretch the truth when being interviewed.
In other words, Judy Garland was a complex mixture of different characteristics; just like all of us. We love her and will always consider her an international icon but also a human being. That's what I love about her most.
Tragic. I’ll always love Judy Garland ❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I was only 7 when Judy Garland died and now, at 60, I still remember the sadness hearing of her death on the news. At that time I had only seen her in The Wizard of Oz, but she has always been my favorite actress and my love for her only grew stronger as I got older and saw more of her movies. IMO, she was the greatest performer of the 20th century and it's a miracle she could deliver such magical performances in spite of her personal life. RIP Judy.
Lifelong Judy Garland fan. And yes, it began with The Wizard of Oz. And yes, we watched it every year. But, for me, it was all the movies she made with Mickey Rooney that stick with me. Always felt they should have been together. Looking at her life, and Mickey's with all the marriages that both of them went through. I honestly believe that had they found each other in that way she might still be with us today. A tremendous loss, what a tragedy. The only thing in the video that really came as a surprise is that I never knew she had a curved spine. That was surprising, never really noticed it in her performances. She was awesome, and we'll always have the films.
The Wizard of Oz was an annual ritual for our family in the 60s in Cleveland. Our TV station never failed to show it each and every year and it was a joy to watch each and every time. Such wonderful family memories!
Gee, I had forgotten that, I grew up in Canada, seems it aired sometime around Christmas every year.
Yeah! I grew up in Texas, and when it was broadcast on television, it was a very special dealio. I'm 61 and that was a time before VCRs, DVDs, and on demand television. We were at the discretion and benevolence of the three major broadcast stations of the time. When it came on, you better watch because you wouldn't know when the next chance would come. It sounds bad, but really, this made it so special and exciting. EVERYONE would be talking about it at school the next day. We were all on the same page, and it was a bonding element.
@@imhere653 ♥Then I had a daughter and it was available on VHS, and she could watch Wizard Boz as many times as I would play it. And there was nothing annoying about hearing it again, and again as I went about my chores (Dumbo will make personal termination look good!). It had some good life lessons, and also, it was her first exposure to the concept of mean, which was great to explain without attaching it to any people we actually knew.
The Wizard of Oz and The Ten Commandments are my 2 favourite movies that I have watched every year since the 50’s! 🥰
It was the same for us in the UK in the 70’s. I never bore of it today & still watch it periodically.
Judy suffered from a very bad case of PTSD at a time when outside of the military, where it was then called “shell shock”, referring to those who were in combat- nobody really knew anything about it- and that’s what hurt her the most!
Sooo sad..she was a beautiful woman and OMG that voice! I saw somewhere that she was harassed by people on and off the set of the Wizard of Oz, given uppers and downers, given cigarettes to keep her weight down, physically and mentally abused. .. after filming, she grew an attachment towards Toto and asked to keep him, but the owners had refused. (Toto's life was tragic too) Judy never seemed to have anyone during her lifetime who cared about her, just what she could do for them.. may she RIP 🙏 ❤
You are so right! People exploited her & no one ever helped her get off of drugs. Very, very sad.
She had a great life and hated when others would mostly focus on her shortcomings and low points. She had an incredible sense of humor too. I choose to celebrate her by enjoying her movies and music and humor. Although she was abused by some, especially by those nasty entertainment executives, I refuse to perceive her as a victim. She had fun! She was a gentle, funny, noble woman and one of a kind performer.
Thank you for acknowledging that! :)
Well, the *fact* is she was a victim whether anyone chooses to acknowledge it or see her as one or not. Maybe you meant you only like to celebrate the good things about her and not think about the bad things that happened to her. I suspect most people prefer to do the same rather than to feel badly for all the bad things she endured. She was brave and courageous woman who managed to make the best of whatever her life was.
@@kelliann187 That’s obviously what I meant, but if you have not already noticed, the majority of videos and articles made about her keeps exploring the negative side of her beautiful, rich life. She hated that. So do I. We all know what happened. Enough already.
@@daniellajefferson7133 Actually, not everybody does know about the negative side of her life. Most of my friends don't even know who she is. 😥
@@user-lo1iz8tj1v I totally understand. There are, however, several UA-cam videos that already address ONLY the dark side of her life. Not to mention articles, documentaries, biographies and movies. Very few are dedicated to her talents and the happy times. The same goes to many other Hollywood figures. It’s just unfortunate. I guess that’s why gossip magazines are still popular. One example is her ex-husband Sid Luft. Almost every source that mentions him only explores the end of their relationship where things are usually more challenging, sometimes violent. Many of us go through it. But if you read his autobiography, you will learn how rich and wonderful their relationship was for a very long time. How much he loved her. That’s just an example. They do the same to Liza. They go on and on about her tragic life. Ugh. She’s living a full life and having a great time too, but that’s not interesting to many. :( We all have good and bad moments. All of us. Do we want others to focus mainly on what didn’t go right? I sure don’t. 😕♥️
So sad. Such a talent. She was only 16 when she made the wizard of Oz in 1939. Wish she found someone that truly cared about her.❤❤❤.so much betrayal by the people who were supposed to watch out for her interests.😢😢😢😢
I love Judy Garland beaks my heart to know how much pain she injured. She was a true star. May she rest in peace
Liza Minnelli said, "No one can sing as good a my mother." She could perform as a teenager and MGM made full use of it.
They had her on amphetamines so she could keep putting out and they squeezed what they could out of her. She also had a problem with alcohol.
Towards the end of her life she was a psychological mess. She was getting involved with a man after man who would rip her off.
Judy Garland was an amazing talent who was taken advantage of by many who were supposed to be trusted friends. But one person was there for her always. That was Mickey Rooney. They were a great team and life long friends. Check out the movies they made together.
I wonder if she ever really knew how much we (her fans) loved her. No one can hurt her anymore.
Never knew she had scoliosis. RIP, Judy. You'll be remembered and missed.
Love, love love Judy Garland! THE best all around talent of the 20th century. Much loved and much respected and missed.
I love The Wizard of Oz and especially the song "Over the Rainbow" which I sang to my kids as a lullaby when they were young. When my son was watching the movie for the first time, he turned to me in astonishment when she started singing that magical song and said, "Mom!! she's singing your song!!". I smiled and said, "honey, I was singing her song" 🥲🥲🥲😊❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's adorable bless him
Nice comment!
I remember the first time I saw the Wizard of Oz. My parents rented the 3-reel version, and made popcorn. I was absolutely enchanted by it. My sister was terrified of the flying monkeys.
I still watch it on TV.
It’s been my favorite movie since I was a child I’m 63 now. Still my favorite have the DVD & with the movie channels I watch it various times a year. Never ceases to amaze me. I brought it for my grandkids they were terrified. I heard a rumor someone mentioned when she did Wizard do Oz that she was ugly and I think she is absolutely beautiful.
Almost everyone I know were afraid of the monkeys.😢😮
It holds up really well! My husband and I watched it last year. The flying monkeys are still terrifying and realistic
I was a kid when I saw it. What scared me was when she was alone with the hourglass keeping track of how much time she had left.
Her missing her Aunt, Uncle, Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion, that made me sad
So many people say they were afraid of the monkeys (including my husband). Not me, I was petrified by the witch. To this day I have to cover my eyes in certain parts of the movie and I’ll be 64 next week!
The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie. She led such a tragic personal life. It's sad there were no child labor laws in place. Judy and so many other young people went thru hell. May she be resting peacefully. She earned it. 🕊️❤️🙏
I loved "Meet me in St. Louis". What a wonderful movie.
Every Easter we would watch it as a family. No matter how many times I watched it I spent the entire movie worrying about poor Toto.
She was such a beautiful soul that was so broken by the people who should have loved her most 😢
How tragic for Judy Garland, may she rest in peace now
She is missed, that dynamic young lady's public intertainment and her skits with Mickey Rooney. My condolences to Liza Minelli and for trying to ... with her mom.
Beautiful singer,beautiful person
I Was Thirteen When Judy Passed…Judy’s Resting Place Was Ferncliff In Hartsdale❤

A Garland Fan. #JudyGarland4Ever🌈♥️💯
Wizard of Oz was a treat for all the children in our neighborhood! What a tragic loss for such a great Woman!
I watched the Wizard of Oz every year for many years. I remember staying at my cousins house so we could watch the movie together, then have a sleep over.
Now I look a Dorothy and feel sorrow for the little girl who disappeared to become Judy. RIP Judy, I hope you're truly happy and free.
I am glad for your presentation. My mother named me after her, and at 73, I still feel a sentimental attachment to her. When I was 12, I my mom took me to audition for a youth theatre production of the Wizard of Oz, I won the role of Glenda. I've known that she had a sad life, but not all the details. My heart remains broken for her.
I remember the day she died, my father was so sad he always enjoyed her singing. When i was in elementary school and THE WIZARD OF OZ was going to be shown on tv thats all the kids at school could talk about. We could hardly wait to get out of school and sit in front of the tv and wait for the movie to start.
Great job and it just goes to show you that all that glitters is not gold. Yes I agree with Judy that indeed her mother was the wicked witch of the west.
My dad was a cab driver in NYC.He picked up Judy from a hotel. She was so was so drunk she had difficulty getting in the car and had a problem telling my dad where she wanted to go.
That is so intensely sad.
@@Ephemeral2023
And your point is?
Judy Garland went through so much I can understand why it was hard to deal with some of the things we take for granted.
I was five when I first saw the wizard of Oz. I was scared to death of those darn monkeys. I'm actually watching it as I'm writing this. IT Is one of my favorite movies and will also be a classic. Judy was a great actress and beautiful singer. Over the rainbow is one of my favorite songs and will always be a classic of its own. R.I.P JUDY.❤️
Judy never saw herself as tragic. She possessed a rare, God given talent. Judy was used and abused by those around here. I saw her perform live in Boston in 1967. She was phenomenal. It was a life changing experience to see her live. Judy emitted an energy and charisma on stage that permeated every corner of the concert hall.
RIP over the rainbow Ms Garland.
My favorites are "Strike up the Band" + "Girl Crazy” The combination of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland can't be topped by anybody, and between those 2, the talent was so off the charts! Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney were the absolute best Hollywood ever produced. Many people think that Mickey Rooney is the finest actor ever in Hollywood, and Judy Garland is the best singer who can also keep up with the best with her dancing. It took Mickey Rooney a long time to find true love, but I've never read that he was abused nearly as much as Judy. Watch the movie "Girl Crazy" and look for the number "Embraceable You".--and look at any part of "Strike up the Band", directed by Busby Berkeley. Incredible.
You mean GIRL CRAZY, right?
Yessir! Thanks.
She was soooo beautiful… as a kid I watched Wizard of Oz every year on one of the 3 networks then!! Never missed it!! Rest In Peace Judy!
if you are lucky, like me, you will hear in Judy’s voice an invitation to join her in the miracle of her expressiveness, a special joy, she will bestow upon you for the rest of your life.
Thank you for this interesting information. My Great Aunt & Uncle both worked at MGM during the filming of the Wizard of Oz. They used to give Judy Garland a ride home from after work. I had found a book called The Stormy Life of Judy Garland. My Great Aunt read it & confirmed it was true. My Great Aunt was used as an extra in The Wizard of Oz. but she was never able to find herself in those group scenes. at Oz. She showed me a black & white photo of herself in her costum. She looked like one of the 'Nuns' Running around. This movie has always been our family favorite.
Now her children confirm the rumor. I keep reading that line for different tragic life stars, but hear nothing from the children so how is this them confirming anything?
Liza Minnelli has stated that she dislikes when her Mother's life is simply labeled "Tragic" and that her humor, joy and zest for life made her much more than just a sad, tragic figure. Just sayin'.
🌈
I definitely watched the wizard of oz once a year. Around my birthday December 10, always in the month of December. Judy Did not get her just dues in every sense of the word.
From her parent to stardom, she deserved much much more. It saddens me to hear Her story. I enjoyed her in all her movies. She is sorely missed by many to this day.😢
It’s sad the way she was treated . My childhood was made better because of the wizard of Oz. And I hope she has peace now
Listen to me carefully Judy Garland was Always the first choice for the part of Dorothy. MGM bought it to make her a star. The owner of MGM Lowe's Inc. based out of New York City wanted a bigger box office star to be Dorothy. Shirley Temple not only couldn't sing the songs like Judy Garland could, because those songs were written with Judy in mind. Yes, it's true, Shirley was considered for the role, but it was only a two or three day consideration. Fox wouldn't loan Shirley out and that's why she wasn't Dorothy. Shirley was not MGM's first choice for Dorothy.
Thanks for correcting that! Are you related to the great Johnny Mercer? My whole family were huge fans of his songs. Please let me know. 😊
The sad part about Judy Garland was, she had no clue how beautiful and talented of a power house she was,she could have been a studio head. They were bad to her,and that’s because she was such a huge talent. I only wish she had the strength and knowledge to stand up for herself. And she raised 3 wonderfully talented children.
My only hope is Judy had found that rainbow. And thank god for all of her talent is left behind for us to realize what a true talent and legend she is. These days everyone is a “legend” but Ms.Garland was in fact a tremendous legend in every sense of the word !!
Judy brought purity and joy to a building of our great nation, we've all made sacrifices for the cause of freedom. Thank You to Garland family for sharing Judy with the world.
I wore out not only 2 copies of the Wizard of Oz on VHS, but also one of the VHS players as well, I watched it so many times. It would end. I'd rewind. Then watch the magic again. This movie is my childhood. Saying that as I grew older and saw and heard more of her music and learned of Judy's life, her legacy goes way beyond The Wizard of Oz. She did hear how great she was all the time, but from fans, and not the people closest to her. That's what she was missing, and it's frustrating to no end. Though I never met you, Thank you Judy, for everything.
I Love the wizard of oz. I grew up watching it once a year at easter time. To this day at 60 years old I still love the wizard of oz
She was 47 years old when she died. Forty-seven! She looked so munch older. 😮
She was remarkably young when she died. She looked like she was in her late 60s. All those powerful friends watched her kill herself slowly. They must have known.
54 years ago. Not 55. Big Judy fan God rest her lovely soul
Yes the whole family watched The Wizard of Oz once a year on CBS popcorn and The Wizard of Oz had great childhood memories
we, in our house start to watch “The wizard of Oz” in Early October and end in December with watching it at least once or twice a week, its tradition inour house. we all love it and enjoy watching it over and over.
One of my favorite Judy movies is For Me and My Gal with Gene Kelly. Such a talent.
Judy Garland was my favorite actress from that time. Fell in love with her in The Wizard of Oz and after seeing Meet Me in St.Louis I was sold! Plus, she reminded me so much of my late mother.
I will always remember the one episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race where one of the men who volunteered to be a part of the makeover challenge said that he was with Judy the night she had died and he was the one that gave her the pills that killed her. It’s a really sad moment because you can tell that guilt had followed him for decades. It was nice of Jinkx Monsoon to give a shoutout to him on the all winners season of All Stars as Judy on the Snatch Game saying it wasn’t his fault.
Um, what?
ewwww
Interesting to see Judys isdues passed on to Liza. Never heard about her other 2 kids.
You might remember Lorna as Paulette in Grease 2. She also has a long list of theatrical and concert credits.
Poor Judy never had a chance 😢
Same with Natalie Wood, both mothers should burn in hell 🤬
So sad may she RIP 🪦
I agree!
She would have been 101 years old this year!
She was such an incredible talent, and a unique beauty, but she always doubted it. I wish she had known and believed how much we all love her. She always seemed to be needing more love than was available to her.
Despite the hard life she had, she didn't dwell on it. She knew she was living an extraordinary life. I'm so grateful she did.
The "Wizard of Oz" is an iconic film, but if you love Judy, you have to see:
"Introducing Lily Mars"
"The Clock"
"Meet me in St Louis"
"The Harvey Girls"
"In the Good Old Summertime"
"Summer Stock"
"A Star is Born"
Every year around Christmas time The Wizard of Oz would come on television. My sister and I were always so excited to watch it. It's one of those movies that has you laughing, crying and edge of your seat scared when the wicked witch of the west appears. I remember seeing Glenda the good witch and thinking she was more like a fairy princess.
My youngest daughter loved the movie and we watched our copy over and over. Rachael had to dress up like every character on screen during the movie. Her personal rendition of the characters she called O-E-O men still brings a smile to my face when I'm reminded. Her little girl now loves it equally without the continuous costume changes ❤
Judy I know you're enjoying yourself Somewhere Over the Rainbow 🌈🌈🌈 Thanks for for this treasure ❤❤❤
All she needed was real love and attention from a good man. Not the piranhas in holly weird that took advantage of her. RIP Judy
Love you forever, Miss Judy Garland...
The title is clickbait, but it’s so nice hearing someone talking about Judy, I can forgive you for that. Even learned a couple things I didn’t know before.
I always watched The Wizard of Oz when shown on television. Judy’s mom is the person who was mean to her, took advantage of her, as well as many others.
RIP Judy!
I’m surprised she died so young. 47. Didn’t even make it to fifty.
Drinking and drugs were the
killers in her life and death. RIP
Have you ever heard her and Mickey Rooney's "Good Morning"? Pick you up! 😊
🎼🎹 Good morning, good morning, it’s great to stay up late, good morning, good morning…to you 🎹🎼
Judy Garland will always be a genuine treasure! What ever happened to the MGM executives then and now?
Such a talent and it’s a shame how she was used by her mother and the studio system. Rest in heaven
We don't know if she received Jesus as her savior
@Jeff-fu8is I'm pretty sure God, Jesus & the Holy Ghost gave her a pass into Heaven. Addiction is a serious illness that's almost impossible to overcome without lots of help from others, and she kept hoping she would find her own "Perfect Man", like in a movie - which means her needs for love, protection, understanding & real medical help were never met, by anyone! Based on all that, I think she got a free pass.
The bible doesn't contradict itself when it says that there is no other way to salvation except thru Jesus
We can all learn a lot from Judy Garland. She was a wonderful person! All of us in the comments section prove a point made by Frank Sinatra. Sinatra stated that Judy would never be forgotten, everyone else would. There will never be another entertainer like her again. I know that she is a wonderful angel in Heaven!
What a sad, sad life. I’m a Wizard of Oz nut and when I heard about what she went through in her life, I didn’t want to believe it even though I know it’s true. 😢
I watched The Wizard of Oz yearly or twice a year when on. I’ve heard they almost cut Over the Rainbow because the movie was to long. Thank God they didn’t. She gave a special quality to her voice. Liza inherited it. She had so much sadness in her life. Judy I feel made it Over the Rainbow. 🌈 ❤
I already knew most of the things you mentioned about her! All I can say is that this is a very heartbreaking. and frightening story! I can't believe she endured so much agony and mistreatment from her supposed family and working peers! I don't know why people are so cruel and evil to one another! No one deserves the life she had, it's too in humane and hideous! I hope she is in a better place where all hopes and wishes come true! Hopefully when we pass on, we will have what we always wanted! Goodbye!
...uhhhhhhh
I have been a fan of Judy and Liza for a long time. I always watch OZ when it comes on. The other movie that Judy did that I enjoy is Meet Me in St.Louis.
Most of the greats die young & to see Judy at 11:19 in the B&W photo, hard to believe she is only 47. She looks more like in her 70's & those pills, cigarettes & long working schedules took a toll on her body & looks. Such a wonderful talent gone too soon. Considering her life I found it surprising she was able to have 3 children. Forever Dorothy, can't believe she'd be 101 in 2023.
There is a Heaven. That’s where she deserves to be and that’s where she is. 💕💕 I firmly believe that she is at peace with a whole lot of happiness.
So so sad to hear how much she suffered during her childhood to adulthood 😢
Rip a Hollywood legend
Even though i was born in 78 it broken my heart to say the roots of it all that her parents was to blame sad to say ..More on her mother for the fact of the pills ..kinda reminds ya of what happened to several other famous people that went down that road ....
After having Lizza, Vincent ignored her while on the set of The Pirate, so Gene Kelly would take turns calling in to help cover Judy when she needed a mental health day. And years later, Gene insisted she needed to play the female lead for Summerstock, and would not take “No” as the answer from the studio heads.
Even though everyone knows her from The Wizard of Oz, everyone should really go through the rest of her filmography. My personal favourite is Meet Me In St Louis, and The Pirate is my favourite of the Judy/Gene films.
I used to watch the Wizard of Oz almost every single day from about the age of 3 to 5.
Francis Gumm/Judy Garland is a national treasure.
The pictures of her last days, she was anorexic. She never got over the studios and her mom saying she was chunky as a 12 year old and forcing her on diet pills, cigs etc to lose weight. She never had any self esteem thanks to them. She had moved to England to perform to try and make money, have a smidgeon of a career as the usa threatened to jail her for tax evasion. Which her management and parents had done. Poor Judy never stood a chance❤😢
I really like Judy Garland in the old Andy Hardy movies. I had a crush on Mickey Rooney, not able to comprehend that he was already in his 60's when I was a child watching his old movies.
I loved her, I always watch her movies .her life story too. It was sad.how she died. Loved her voice..loved her as Dorothy in Wizard of Oz..too.
Beautiful woman.
Thank you for your excellent documentary about Judy Garland❤
Wuzard of Oz is my favorite. I watch it whenever it appears on TCM and experience the same joy I did as when I first saw it as a six year old.
That poor woman, child! She was a great person! Such a great voice! Always loved her movies! Such a shame that she suffered all her life and died so young!
Now people are trying to cancel her on Twitter because of a role she was forced to play
When I worked in Cincinnati , at America Airlines , she called during the Kentucky Derby. She was slurring her words. She wanted me to overbook the flight so she could leave. We did that then. I was very nice and told I would try. She gave me a phone number. When I called her back to say I had done it. I couldn’t reach her, someone else answered.
she passed 54 years ago June 22nd 1969 age 47 in London she didn't have much money left by the time she passed
Actually, what surprised me was why Temple didn't get the part. I always heard that it was because she was too young. Or she didn't quite have the strength of character. I heard a lot about Judy. She was 13 years older than my father
@@Ephemeral2023The Little Princess was not considered a flop. I think you are referring to The Blue Bird which was made as a rival film to Oz but totally failed at the box office.
Legend has it that Shirley wasn't cast as Dorothy because she didn't have the vocal ability to handle the Oz score and her studio wouldn't let her out of her contract anyway.
Such a wonderful human being who was used and discarded SO EVILLY. She deserved care, kindness and love which she didn't get, which IS shameful. Simply a very talented musical genius. I love her voice and singing. SO unique.
For me, The Wizard of Oz means hope and desires. That hasn’t changed since my first viewing of the movie when I was a child.
Still love Wizard of Oz! Sad to hear of her difficult life!
Yes she had a tough life and thanks for sharing.
