Judy Garland is one of those actresses
where no matter what part she’s in or what song she’s singing, I enjoy it! She
seemed so confident in everything she did, lighting up the screen in every part
she played. She had a voice that captivated everyone making her a fan favorite
even to this day!

Growing up, her father was a
theater manager and it seemed show business was in her blood. She was already
in the spotlight at the age of two singing and entertaining patrons at the
local theater. Eventually Judy and her sisters made their debut as the “Gumm
Sisters.” They traveled and entertained
smaller circuits, never really reaching the stardom Judy would achieve in the
future. Her sister ended up marrying and
it disbanded the group, leaving Judy a chance to take her stardom to the big
screen.

In a career that spanned 45
years, Garland made 32 feature films, 30 television shows and received ten Emmy
award nominations. Between 1951 and 1969 she fulfilled over eleven hundred
theater, nightclub and concert performances. Her life wasn’t easy by any means
as she dealt with a lot over the years. She’d spent her whole life in the
spotlight and if there was one thing she knew, it was that the show must go on.
Being the greatest entertainer of her
generation couldn’t have been easy for her but we commend her for continuing
the show. This April on TCM we’ll be reminded of how lucky we truly are to be
able to relive her greatest performances. Here to you Mrs. Garland and THANK
YOU Turner Classic Movies!
