@@janicehoyle3417 ABSOLUTELY.... There is no doubt that she was abused and raped starting as a very young girl. And it just continued her whole life. :-(

Judy if a forty year old little man asks you to dinner, the problem isn’t he’s a little person, I think the problem is he is FORTY! Then again it was the thirties
@@skinsey85 I'd need confirmation on that. And I don't think the man's age has ever really been confirmed, though when Judy said to him that her mother would have to come along, he's reported to have said something along the lines of, "Sure, bring her too; I'd love to have a date with two ladies."
@@beththompson2188 Sorry but *she was 47 years old when she committed suicide of a barbiturate overdose* She was a train wreck. She was a very damaged person. Her entire life. I'm not blaming her, but facts are facts. She was a f****** train wreck.
Not as cute as those adorable little munchkins. I don't care what they say about them. I'll meet them on the other side and we'll all have a little drinky poo.
I read an interview with a former Munchkin. He and the rest of the surviving Munchkins were deeply hurt by this made-up story. They had enjoyed working on TWOO and they had all liked and got along well with Judy. The Munchkins' behavior on and off screen was closely monitored by their management company. They belonged to a long standing performing troop of little people. There was no drinking and not much fooling around, quite a few of the group were older married couples. A television interview like this would have launched a mountain of lawsuits if aired today.
125 in a hotel with 3 in a bed - mostly from Germany glad to have escaped the Nazis - and they drank beer naturally - and you think they were closely monitored? LOL. Even Judy's husband recalls them sexually harassing Judy - a teenager when they were all older men. No lawsuits if this played today - just moronic cancelling of Judy for using a perfectly acceptable for the time word just as retard is treated arbitrarily different today whereas idiot which was also a technical scientific term is still okay to use. 🎬

GOOD OLD JUDY GOT THE FINAL LAST LAUGH BY WRITING A TELL ALL BOOK ON HOW SHE AND EVERYBODY ELSE WAS MALTREATED IN HOLLYWOOD BACK IN THE DAY! GOOD GIRL,JUDY...I PRAISE YOU 🙏💯💖🌈🙏
Poor Judy. I agree. She slurs in many of her interviews in her final years, and this is no exception. Such a heartbreak that she never recovered from her addictions. Enormous talent and apparently an incredibly sweet, funny, intelligent woman. Beautiful inside and out. May she rest forever in peace and love. ☮️❤️🙏🏻🌹
@@leewitten4758 judy died in 1969 at just 47 years old so sad she didn't even make it halfway through her time how she died was terrible and she will be sadly missed by her loved ones and her fans the people who hated her and used her they can just go to hell
The things she said about the little people on set were all untrue. Not very nice Some of them interviewed later said no one was drunk or got frisky with anyone. They were as professional as the rest of the actors
Sounds like she was projecting her own behavior. Love her and her work, but she was out for some cheap laughs at their expense here. Such were the times.
True story, the author of the Wizard of Oz was L. Frank Baum who lived a good portion of his life in Chesterton, IN near lake Michigan. Chesterton had an Oz festival each year beginning in the early 1970's. In the beginning the Wicked Witch made an appearance as did a number of the munchkins. Chesterton is not a large city and it had only one hotel so all the munchkins stayed there. They had one of the drunken parties Judy talks about one night and were skinny dipping in the hotel pool until the wee hours, and supposedly engaging in sexual behavior. As a result they were forever banned from that hotel and thereafter had to stay at a hotel in Portage, IN just a few miles away.
It's shocking how our sensibilities have changed over time. It was perfectly acceptable back then to joke about "midgets" and "dwarfs". And smoke while doing so. She would be ostracized and lambasted in social media if she gave that interview in 2022!
@@lindaeasley5606 Oh please, you're not so naïve to believe that the dwarves were not human, are you? That dwarves don't have fun, don't drink, don't have sex? Really?? Newsflash--they're human beings just like the rest of us.
@@troublemakerbros4267 i’m not calling her that word i, nor would anyone else nowadays, use it im just pointing out she’s considerably short too lol. or maybe i just find that very short cuz i’m a 6ft girl 😂
@@viktorsilva4017 Nobody said you had to like Arlen and Harburg's songs, but why hate the people who "sang" them, especially since they didn't? The songs were recorded by full-sized people whose voices were then treated to sound higher. The Singer Midgets themselves were just ordinary people.
@@MaskedMan66 first of all: the midgets groped her at the time they were shooting the movie, Judy was abused in many ways in that period. Second: aside from that, i just hate the characters, couldn't stand all the singing... I know it's meant to be childish, i just personally don't like it
@@viktorsilva4017 No, they did not. Judy and the Singer Midgets got along wonderfully, as reliable sources will tell you. Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Coroner, has been quoted as saying, "We were treated as equals by her. She would sit down on the steps on the set with us and chat every day." The thing is that there was a lot of bigotry towards Little People in those days (as there is even now, evidently), and they were glad to know someone who looked beyond the surface. The same was true of Billie Burke, who loved being in their company. If you can't handle singing in musicals, then why watch them? Make sure you never see _Les Misérables:_ there's only one line of spoken dialogue in the whole three and a half hours.

I like how she calls him out on the way he pronounced munchkins, "Moonchkins"!
You can pick 'em up and hurl 'em, call them two-inch drunk midgets, but don't EVER call them moonchkins.
It occurred to me that Paar might have been the only person in America who hadn't seen "The Wizard of Oz."
Judy looked pretty smashed during that interview.
She was definitely on something most of her career and if I had a childhood like hers I would too. Bless this woman
I thought I was the only one that noticed 😂 Not only that, she would have been CANCELLED in 2022 for description of the Munchkins
She's an obvious train wreck here.

@@michaelkoenig7866 She was a girl, and she politely refused. That was all that happened.

The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie ever
Beautiful movie. As is Return to Oz.
"SMASHED!" Well Judes, thats the pot calling the kettle black.
I love her hair in this clip
Sad that you would find a train wreck to be entertainment.
@@scottavery6172 You think her hair is a train wreck?
Jack Paar discovered a gold mine. I am so grateful to him for bringing the real fabulous Judy to us more mortals.
She may have been real, but her stories frequently weren't.
Judy had a sensational sense of humor and Liza said she loved to make up or exaggerate stories, lol.
Many, perhaps almost everybody on these Judy boards takes what Judy said literally.
It was an iffy sense of humor at times, like here, and another tall tale of hers nearly ended her friendship with Jack Haley.
Judy was so colorful
“About 2 inches high!”😂
It’s nice to see her with a good sense of humor. Most things I see tend to be sad about her. I enjoyed this clip. 😀
She's clearly a train wreck here. And you find it entertaining.

She was effortlessly funny! Lucille Ball said, next to Judy, she looked like a mortician.
"Oh, they were drunk all te time." She was slurring when she said that...
I thought the same thing.
Especially the eyes
And to die so young at age 47 due to an accidental overdose of barbiturates was tragic. She was very ill at the time with liver disease
So what? She was great!
They were two inches tall and they picked them all up with a butterfly net .......do you honestly think she was being serious????
Is she the cutest thing ever??? 😂😂😂😂

See the forgotten film Under The Rainbow for more on the munchkins antics. Though fictional, she seems to be describing the movie.
