Rest in peace Judy Garland.
June 10th, 1922-June 22nd, 1969
It’s ironic that Judy later revealed that the only other cast member in the Wizard of Oz that treated her with any kindness was Margaret Hamilton who played the Wicked Witch of the West.
No, she didn't. She loved all her co-stars and they loved her. She also had a massive crush on Victor Fleming, who called her his "Judalein."
@@MaskedMan66 Gollywood itself was evil.
She also liked the man who played the scarecrow, They have done shows years after the production of the wizard of Oz.
Then this video is clearly wrong. I mean I dunno where this guy gets all his info but video said Victor Fleming struck her face and the director and the other men actors disliked her
Judy Garland was an amazing actress and it sucks that she was treated so horribly.
Yep, she was put on a strict diet of chicken soup, black coffee and forced to smoke up to 80 cigarettes per day, in order to suppress her appetite
It would have sucked if it had been true, but it wasn't.
@@lisamcdonald1014 Massive lies, all of that. She ate vegetables, cottage cheese, chicken, and other healthy things. She drank coffee (so what if she liked it black?), tea, milk, and juice, and could have had soda if it weren't for the fact that she didn't like it. She did not smoke at all.
@@MaskedMan66 Judy did smoke at the time. Gilbert Adrian designed her gingham dress with hidden pockets, just for her cigarettes.
@@YouSimon1000 No she didn't, and no he didn't. That's one of the more recent silly lies. Actors don't keep their personal effects in their costumes when shooting a movie, they have personal assistants behind the cameras to look after their stuff.
Quote from Judy Garland from a 1938 interview: "I take awfully good care of myself. I won't ever smoke or drink."
Fun fact, Wizard of Oz was not the Financial success MGM had expected, it’s popularity came from airings on TV & VHS release, decades later, however it’s behind the scenes bs, had an impact quicker than its popularity, as the treatment of Judy, the horrid production choices, like causing injury to the witch, and the original tin man etc. resulted in better standards and was a contributing factor along with other studios for the formation of unions in Hollywood & better safety standards, and those came into affect before Wizard of Oz ever become the classic it is today.
Its popularity was there from the start, as evidenced by its stars being much in demand, its songs being played in dance clubs and on the radio, and continual demand for a re-release, which finally came in the late 40's. Judy was not mistreated (this video contains a lot of lies), the accidents were accidents (far worse accidents have resulted in actors and crew getting maimed, paralyzed, irradiated and killed), and the Screen Actors Guild was formed in 1933, five years before _Wizard_ began production.
Lots of videos repeat the same old lies, half-truths, and incomplete stories. They are still lies, half-truths, and incomplete stories, and no amount of repetition will make them any more real, no matter what Hitler may have said.
They destroyed that woman to the point she took her own life
She died of a barbiturate overdose aged 47 in London, England United Kingdom
I know
She became an addict
No she did not. Her death was an accident.
Poor girl, if only she could have known she was already perfect
She knew she wasn't perfect (nobody is), but she also knew she was hugely talented, but never got a big head about it.
That is so sad they made her do all those things. She was a wonderful lady.
I cannot believe I'm hearing this. This is insane!😢
They didn't. This video is full of lies.
@@troyallen8223 Yes. Too insane to be true. Happily, it isn't true.
@@MaskedMan66 How do you know this? Please send me a link. I just want to know the Gods honest truth. I love this woman with all my heart 💗 Thanks 🙏
@@troyallen8223 The truth can be found in the books "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz (who interviewed forty-eight people who worked on the film, including her mother), "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke (the world's leading authority on Judy Garland), Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman, and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman (whose collection of contemporary accounts of the film's production is unrivaled). 🙂
A wonderful story:
Not long after seeing _The Wizard of Oz,_ a little girl named Natalie Norris fell ill and was hospitalized. Her mother wrote to MGM and relayed her daughter's wish that she could get a visit from Dorothy. They called Judy, who was of course delighted to do it, and sent Natalie a letter telling her that they had a date. She wanted to come in full Dorothy kit, but by that time everything had been put away in storage, so Judy wore a simple frock and her own short hair, and Natalie didn't mind a bit. Judy chatted with her a while and even sang "Over the Rainbow" to her, bringing Natalie's mother to tears.
Later, Natalie showed rapid improvement, and not only recovered, but later in life became a singer herself!
That’s so sweet. I’m glad the little girl recovered.
@@adamgoncalves1591 Yup, and became lead contralto with an Austrian opera company.
Getting a 15 year old on all kinds of drugs (including coffee and alcohol) is pure evil. These “big people” making the movie absolutely set her up for her death. Also abhorrent is the fact her costars never stood up for her, a child; no feelings of protection of her. How very, very sad. The situation of way to 😢many child stars!! 😢
She was sixteen and nothing like that happened. And lots of people drink coffee. She didn't need anyone to "stand up" for her, but you may be sure that if she did, her *friends* in the cast would have.
😢 Today the way they treated Judy Garland, would be considered child abuse !. But this was a more simple period in movie history !....
This video is full of sensationalism and lies; Judy was not treated that way.
@@MaskedMan66 🤔 Yes she was ,even much worse than this .This has been documented, and proven to be 100 % true...
@@alancrisp1582 Nope. The people who have done the real research have put the lie to this B.S., including John Fricke, the world's leading authority on Judy.
@@alancrisp1582 No, it has not, and Judy certainly never made any such claims.
Today, girls and women, actively do what Judy was made to do. Not saying it is okay to force that on Judy.
As a HUGE Judy Garland fan, I really enjoy this.
You enjoy hearing lies about her?
@@MaskedMan66 No. I enjoy her mvies.
@@Angie2343 Okay, I thought you meant that you liked this video, which is full of rubbish about her.
I have known about most of these for many years. I totally loved her performances, and her movies. I am very angry 😡 and so sad 😞 she was made to do this, all with the approval of her so-called mother.
Most of these are lies, and at the time she made this movie, she and her mum were actually on good terms.
What they did to child actors should be criminal. Blame their parents for looking at dollars instead of the wellbeing of the children.
Don't believe this codswallop; Judy had a ball making the movie.
Interesting story and a treasure hunt I was in a thrift store in Fresno California twenty years ago now and I found a pair of ruby slippers and I picked them up turned them over to see a leather soles and hand stitched each red sequins were hand sewn on the slippers an employee had written-3 dollars in blk felt pen in the bottom the bows were very interesting and each sequin was hand sewn also so I thought they were very nice and carried them around the store while I shopped and found more items lol buy at the checkout I decided that I really didn’t need a pair of red ruby slippers and put them back and got in line and a lady behind me had them. I forgot to mention that inside of the shoes was written in dark heavy Graphite pencil was the name judy garland so a couple years later I was looking on line and it was about the ruby slippers and they said that 3 pairs were made for the movie and one pair was in the Smithsonian museum and another pair was in a private museum and the third pair was missing stolen from a museum and they were worth two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the reward at the time and a few years ago I saw that the statute of limitations was passed and whoever had the ruby slippers could legally sell them and the minimum bid would be one million dollars so I can say they are somewhere in Fresno California and I threw them back for $3 dollars lol 😝 and two other second hand stores in Fresno have produced some millions of dollars worth of artifacts one was a photograph of billy the kid playing crochet and the other was a wooden tray or box of rare valuable slides from the studio of the nature photographer ansil Addams worth millions of dollars and I think the Billy the kid photo went for two million dollars.
Best movie ever ❤❤❤
I agree 100%
So basically child abuse. Got to hand it to the grown ups. Stay classy
This video is full of bulls***.
So, MGM ruined this girl and got off scot free... That's some BS right there!
This video is certainly full of BS.
The B.S. is in this video.
And then MGM punished HER because the drugs THEY addicted her to began taking their toll. Which, naturally discredited her at the other studios because MGM was the biggest studio in the world and had the power to blackball anyone they didn't like. She was treated terribly on the set by pretty much everyone, with the surprising exception of Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch - who of course was a teacher in real life. So terribly sad.
Holy frick 😔
@@ItsMelanieM Yeah. Terrifying, wasn't it?
As Mickey Rooney made clear, MGM was not responsible for Judy's addictions, which came in her adult years.
I feel bad for Judy. Another person I also feel really bad for is The Wicked Witch. She had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her hand and face after the fire explosion, and from her toxic green make-up.
The make-up wasn't toxic in and of itself; it only could be if it caught fire, and obviously, nobody expected it to. It was the fire that burned her, not the make-up. The thirty or so Winkies wore the same make-up and had no ill effects. Neither Judy nor Miss Hamilton would want to be pitied.
That movie destroyed her mentally
No, it didn't. This video is full of lies.
@@MaskedMan66 someone dont wanna face the truth
@@redmatter3756 I've already read the truth in the books "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" by Aljean Harmetz (who interviewed forty-eight people who worked on the film, including her mother), "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" by John Fricke (the world's leading authority on Judy Garland), Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman, and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" by Scarfone and Stillman (whose collection of contemporary accounts of the film's production is unrivaled).
@@MaskedMan66 so these guys are lying. Always both sides of the story. Ever wonder why Judy was on a phase of drugs and mental issues? She wasn't like that before being a star
@@redmatter3756 Exactly. By all accounts, she was a well-adjusted, upbeat girl while making _Wizard._ Frankly, she was, in modern parlance, a bad@$$; she was very polite and feminine, but also very bold and energetic, and didn't take nonsense from anyone.
The trouble began after _Wizard,_ because now that Judy was a household name, MGM tried to put her before the public as often and as quickly as possible. That was when the overwork began and also when Ethel Gumm became blinded by dollar signs to her daughter's detriment.
That is quite tragic, but it is not just Judy Garland. This is what most young actors and actresses go through; either stress or too much success and attention lead them to mental problems, drugs, and alcohol. Actresses get plastic surgery, diet pills, personal trainers to be beautiful; that doesn't seem odd but perhaps she was not ready or willing to do that at 16. Drew Barrymore went spiraling down after E.T success and so has McCully Culkin from Home Alone
Such a talented and beautiful girl!! So sad she went through so many things while on the set. I am sure this led to so many problems in her later years…
Nothing compared to effects of chattel slavery... That's Hollyweird ways of life!
She didn't go through 90% of the rubbish talked about in this "report" (and too many others).
@@MaskedMan66im not disagreeing with you, but what is your source? How do you know that to be true? We know Judy was abused on set, it is common knowledge, so what is it you are disputing?
@@lilli599 No, it's a common misconception that she was abused. In reality, she was the darling of the set, and everyone loved her; how could they not?
My sources, which can also be your sources, are the books "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz with an introduction by Margaret Hamilton, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman with an introduction by Jack Haley, Jr., and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman.
Other books which contain useful bits of information include ”Down the Yellow Brick Road” (1976) by Doug McClelland, “The Oz Scrapbook" (1977) by David L. Greene and Dick Martin, and "The World of Oz" (1985) by Allen Eyles.
That's sad!
And largely false.
That was really hard to learn about :(
A lot of this is untrue.
That's one of the most sad and disturbing revealing stories I've never heard and ever heard. I'll never see the movie the same anymore. Wow that's super tragic. Glad that doesn't happen as often these days.
It's also 95% bulls***.
Classic

True Story My Twin Sister's Favorite Movie Is The Wizard Of Oz aside from all the Horror films she likes to watch
😳 Wizard of Oz is now technically a horror movie
@@ItsMelanieM No, it isn't. It's a musical/comedy/fantasy/adventure film of which its cast and crew were very proud.
The abuse she suffered was awful... Ever since I found out about it all, I haven't been able to watch the movie.
SAME
This is 90% lies.
She was sooo good in this movie slash musical etc.😊
There are lots of movie musicals, no need for slashing. 🙂
goodness 80 cigarettes a day!!!!
I'd seen girls in highschool smoke to lose weight but dang... not like that
Yes she had a tough time working on that show.
Not as tough as this kak-filled video tells it.
Really?!? That's AWFUL!!! I've loved this film since I was a toddler & even spent many years looking for Oz (only to eventually realise I already lived in Oz, just down under 😉🇦🇺). RIP Judy Garland ❤❤❤
It's mostly lies.
so sad how they treated her died so young shameful that was ive got the dvd 4k its beutiful film but ill never watch it again without thinking how they treated her
This video is full of lies. Judy loved the movie, so in refusing to watch it, you insult her.
This video has NO proof to corroborate its claims
@@happyharru Thank you!
She looked 16 . Even when o was little i thought she was grown in that movie, 8???? LMAO
She played Dorothy as twelve, and if you saw her as herself at that time, you would have seen how much older she really was.
MGM and her mother were responsible for her drug habit. It's a shame she had to endure all that other BS too. What kind of mother lets their child go through all that.
If it's any consolation, she didn't go through 90% of the rubbish this thing talks about, and at the time she made _Wizard,_ she and her mum were on good terms.
It's so sad that MGM turned her into a drug addict, they messed her up for the rest of her life.
They had Mickey Rooney hopped up too. The old Hollywood machine was quite the "turn steak into ground beef " type of place
MGM had nothing to do with Judy's addictions. They came from other areas.
@@susannpatton2893 Proof?
The past is the worst.
another progressive sissy, are you tough in rl kid?
Open your eyes. The present is hideous.
This probably contributed to jer addiction problems later on.
In those days Hollywood stidio could get away with behaviour which land them in jail these daus
Nope. This video is full of it.
What barbiturate did she die of ?
She was paid $500 a week for Oz, and got no residuals. But then few stars did back then.
In other words, she got paid according to the terms of her contract. She had only been with MGM for three years, so obviously she would not have been making as much as the veterans. But when the film made her a household name, MGM did up her pay. She was to have started getting $750.00 a week in 1940, but MGM changed that to $2000.00 a week.
As for residuals, nobody knew that the movie would become an ongoing multigenerational phenomenon.
The wizard of Oz did horrible in the box office .
Ps. The reason for her drug addiction is because the force fed her uppers and downers. She was addicted to this pills before the movie even came out.
It did fine, and it was a phenomenal success with the public. Judy wasn't forced to do anything, and her addictions came in adulthood.
Nothing compared to CHATTEL SLAVERY!
That's not what happened here.
WHERE WAS HER PARENTS ❓
Her mother was the one who enforced these things upon her she tried to live her dream of stardom through Judy and forced her to eat pills everyday during set, and forced her act even when she was tired, she even forced judy to get an abortion against her will because she and mgm were afraid that would hinder the perfect image they were marketing of her there's a lot more horrible things she did I just can't remember the rest, i don't remember what happened to her father I think he died
Her father was dead for three years. And really, yours is a moot question, since much of what this video spews is utter bulls***.
@@ishashifar Judy wasn't forced to do anything when she was making _Wizard._
@@MaskedMan66 HOW YOU KNOW?
@@AlmightyogCEOofFAE The same way anyone can know: from reading the right books.
Better luck next time but this is nothing new, just a rehash of the same old same old.
And most of it lies.
I thought she was supposed to be 12 yrs old. Before puberty anyway
Dorothy is eight in the book and twelve in the movie. Judy was sixteen.
@@kallen868Dorothy may be as young as six in the book; Baum never specified. When she moved to Oz full time in the sixth book, she was ten.
The crap judy endured. Wonderful film , But tainted by this bad stuff.
Boys and girls who aspire to be great actors. Understand , its not your magic as an actor that gets the most attention , its always about the money.!! Dont rush into signing just any contract offered you. , be wary , these people , the movers and shakers are only interested in the bottom line. If they can get you cheap they will do. St Michael.
The crap is all in this video. 90% of this stuff did not happen.
@@MaskedMan66 In the end the bottom line is always about the money.
@@MichaelBURLAND-el3ek Nope. Priority One in the *entertainment* industry is entertainment.
@@MaskedMan66 im sorry but its all about the money. Back then even the best known actors were bound up by contracts forced upon them that paid a pitance compared to the millions the top hollywood stars of today earn. Your very nieve to think otherwise. Anyway lets close this disagreement down now. I will say , a good film can lift your spirits.
@@MichaelBURLAND-el3ek They lived well on what they made, so it wasn't a "pittance." Remember, the cost of living wasn't as high back then. And no Hollywood actor has ever done anything worth millions; they've been overpaid since Elizabeth Taylor made _Cleopatra._
And in that system, a contract was job security.
"Nieve" is Spanish for "snow."
First!! WooHoo🎉🎉
🥱🤔 Wow, how exciting for you. I bet 🧒 your mommy must be so proud of you ?.
@@alancrisp1582 Don't be a twit.
Black coffee and cigarettes
Costume designer Gilbert Adrian designed her gingham dress with hidden pockets for her cigarettes.
Nothing wrong with black coffee if you like that sort of thing. And Judy was an anti-smoker at that time.
@@YouSimon1000 Wrong. Judy didn't smoke, and in any case, actors had assistants to look after their personal effects; they didn't keep them upon their persons.
Judy suffered *the least* of anyone who worked on _The Wizard of Oz._ All the rubbish in this video has little or no basis in fact, and what has a slight foundation has been exaggerated to ridiculous degrees.
I don't know why people harp on her being "only" sixteen. Performers of all ages have starred in movies.
Judy's later problems in life had zilch to do with _Wizard._
In the film, Dorothy is twelve, not eight. Judy was known for playing prepubescents well into her teens, mainly because she was 4'11" and could effectively act under her age; in fact, people were often shocked when they met her and realized how mature she really was.
The pigtails were not to "obscure her chest," they were because Dorothy in the book has pigtails; at any rate, the first wig she wore had much shorter pigtails, as has been noted by anyone who's watched the entire Scarecrow sequence.
Yes, Judy kept fit with her stunt double Bobbie Koshay, who had been on the U.S.A.'s Olympic Swim Team in 1928. Judy was very keen to keep fit, and was already quite athletic; in fact, she once surprised her mother and Koshay by diving off a boat they were on and swimming to an island about a mile away!
Judy didn't "binge" on anything, but she did once have L. Frank Baum's granddaughter smuggle her a plate of mashed potatoes. In general, though, the diet she was on was fairly ordinary and full of healthy foods-- which, for any teen, means boring foods.
The only person who ever claimed anyone called Judy a "pig with pigtails" was Judy herself, at that time in her life when she liked to tell whoppers, so that story must be taken with a scoop or two of salt. And she only attributed it to Louis B. Mayer.
The appetite suppressant Judy took was not "controversial," and is still on the market today; it's proven useful in treating ADHD.
Judy wasn't forced to do anything, and certainly *not to smoke.* She was an avowed anti-smoker at that time in her life. To quote from an interview she gave in 1938, "I take awfully good care of myself. I won't ever smoke or drink." And certainly that crazy amount of tobacco products would have wasted ridiculous amounts of time better spent actually *working on the movie,* and would probably have killed her inside a month.
Judy's diet consisted of *food,* primarily vegetables. As for beverages, she drank coffee, tea, milk, and juice. She could also have had soda, except that she didn't like it. She was never punished for anything either; that's crazy talk.
Again, she was not *forced* to get caps on her teeth; it was something recommended, that she went along with, and that Mervyn LeRoy paid for out of his own pocket.
She most certainly did not have anything up her nose, as is quite evident from her very normal voice. Seriously, where do people get this kak?
There was no animosity. Jack Haley and Judy had become friends on the movie _Pigskin Parade_ in 1937, and she soon became close with Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, and especially Ray Bolger, who was blown away by her intelligence and memorization skills. She once recited Poe's "The Raven" to him from memory, and at the end of filming, he presented her with a first edition woodcut of the poem. They were a solid team, and played pranks on one another, both during down time and when they did promotional appearances for the movie at various theaters. Judy also loved for them to tell her jokes, but they of course kept the racier ones away from her young ears!
Victor Fleming and Judy loved each other. He called her his "Judalein," and she had this to say about him soon after the film came out:
"He’s perfectly marvelous. He has the nicest low voice and the kindest eyes. Besides, he realizes that a girl who is sixteen is practically grown-up. He shows me all the courtesies he would to Hedy Lamarr. That’s very important to me."
Judy got frequent giggle fits, and then S.O.P. would be for everyone to wait until she got it out of her system. But on this one solitary occasion, they could not wait because it was almost shutting-down time. Fleming gave her a slap to snap her out of her giggles (brought on by the comic genius that was Bert Lahr). Afterward, he told John Lee Mahin to break his nose for what he'd done. Judy heard him and kissed his nose instead, by way of forgiving him.
Sid Luft (the third of Judy's five husbands) was a liar and a sensationalist who knew that scandal sells. His and Judy's daughter Lorna called B.S. on the stories of Munchkins mistreating her mother. "They would have never, ever risked their careers, their one chance to be in a film."
Judy Garland was an energetic, bold, *happy* bad@$$ of a girl who put her whole heart and soul into her work, formed lifelong friendships with her coworkers, and certainly never blamed _Wizard_ for any of her later problems. If she had, she'd never have made "Over the Rainbow" her personal anthem. But she loved the movie, loved the people she worked with, and loved the song. She returned to the role of Dorothy Gale in 1950 for the Lux Radio Theater with an otherwise new cast which included the great Hans Conried as the Scarecrow.
Another fact is that at the time she died from an accidental overdose of a medicine to which she was ironically not addicted, she was getting her life and career back together.
Dude, it is so much worse than you covered…
The “strict diet” was done because Dorothy was supposed to be 8yrs old and Judy was 15-16 (which is why they originally wanted Shirley temple for the role).
So to make Judy look younger, she had to wear a corset, chest binder, long pigtails (to make her look youthful/help obscure her chest) and was required to stay as thin as possible.
That is why she had to follow such a ridiculous “diet”-in addition to them putting her on an extremely powerful _amphetamine_ diet pill called *Dexedrine!!*
Since Dexedrine is basically just meth, Judy suddenly developed severe insomnia (shocking…)-so she was _also_ being given strong sedatives and sleeping pills to counteract the effects of the diet pills!
(Side note; all of this, is what kicked off her lifelong struggle with eating disorders and substance abuse).
Not to mention the “casting couch” nightmares and countless other abuses as a minor…
This is just a snippet of what that poor girl endured back then.💔
Dorothy as played by Judy was twelve, and Judy had already played a lot of prepubescents in her career. Mervyn LeRoy never intended for anyone but Judy to play the part. The pigtails were because *Dorothy wore pigtails in the book.* The diet was perfectly ordinary and healthy; it's just that Judy, like any teen, would have preferred cheeseburgers to salad. Dexedrine is still on the market, and is good for battling ADHD. Her drug problems started in adulthood and had their origin elsewhere than this movie. She had no "casting couch" travails.
