Happy late Birthday Judy. I loved her movies, however, I did get very tired of The Wizard of OZ, my mom, had to watch it every year it came on plus her dvd copy at least twice a week...

Highlights of Judy Garland's (never written) autobiography tapes on Howard Stern. Warning: Stern and crew laugh and joke about it. But you get hear Judy say things like "Sons of bitches!" and "...a bum! Sid Luft!" and "I'll tell the world!" with sheer rage. Totally angry, drunk and high on pills. Love it.

Same can be said about other things in life such as music for example. Those who listen to The Beatles and ONLY the Beatles for example. Just how much one can take of John-Paul-George and Ringo ?? Dittos with amusement parks. The theme park sites are chock full of people willing to pay big bucks just to ride a roller coaster thousands of miles away from home, like say someone from Boston flying to Phoenix just to ride a roller coaster in a small amusement park outside of a dead shopping mall and chances are that roller coaster really isn't any different as to what one could find in New England within their own backyard. Oh well..to each their own. I myself don't get it.

My daughter and I watched some of Easter Parade last night. She only knew Judy as "Dorothy" of course so she got a kick out of seeing her in something else even though I was informed "I only recognized her from her voice she doesnt look the same" I thought she looked the same enough to be recognized *shrug* I told her that Judy was a huge gay icon and she asked me why...I wasnt sure of the answer I just told her she was over the top and campy and fabulous and she looked at me like "in what way..." children!
this is one of the scenes we watched it was adorable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uevi7AsLFeY

She was a gay icon because she SUPPORTED the gay community in a time when homosexuality was still whispered about. Her father and 3 of her husbands had gay proclivities too. Her mentor, Roger Edens was gay. She was a fag hag of the highest order because she liked being around artistic, sensitive, handsome, vibrant men. She knew who her audience was she loved them right back. She was accessible to her audiences and respected them. She touched hands, blew kisses. She loved applause and causing pandemonium more than any drug she ingested and she got pissed off if she saw someone in the audience who wasn't applauding. She wanted each and everyone sitting there to get their money's worth.
http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs.../08/gross2.htm "When I die I have visions of fags singing 'Over the Rainbow' and the flag at Fire Island being flown at half mast."
Her other daughter Lorna Luft , was just on tv over here .Unfortunately , her choice of songs was dire and I read quite a few comments saying why couldn't she have chosen something a bit more cheerful .They were all very old slow ballads , that didn't do much to make you warm to her if you didn't know her. It didn't help that the other guests were gathered round the piano too with a big Xmas tree , and there was just Lorna singing sad tunes ! still , she has a good fan base Wonder if she and Liza sing together ?
Lorna recently had a concert on PBS to raise money for breast cancer study organizations. Liza and she performed the "Sisters" medley they had done on the Tony Awards Show several years ago. Liza's voice seemed severely diminished. I don't really know how much she performs anymore.
Judy Garland's Casket Handles
One morning I received a telephone call from a man who had looked me up on the internet. He said he had some items that had once belonged to Judy Garland that I might be interested in. He described the objects as "handles."
"What kind?" I asked "Door handles? Suitcase? Ping pong?" There was a slight pause. As I was rattling my brain for other types of handles to offer as an option, with "CB radio?" being the only other choice I could think of on the spot, he interrupted...
"They were the handles to her casket."

It was funny the fact that the ladies at the next table were listening to all of that. As a death hag - I would have been in death heaven but someone else - blah!!!! And the dry cleaner - "It's Judy Garland's dress"...."who's that??" but he still got caught up in the frenzy and finished the dress in 1 hour...covered in decomp no less. Such a great story, the whole thing.

"Juicey Garland"?
Judy died on this day - 45 years ago...
http://greatentertainersarchives.blo...y-garland.html
I'm watching TCM, and it's Judy Garland Month. Well, last day of it anyways. Watching "A Star is Born" and g***&&&amit. She was robbed of the Oscar. IMO.
I had a really rough day. Our store was robbed, and I was involved. I'm ok, but shaken, so watching Judy's movies is relaxing me. I loved her. Wish she was treated better in HellWood.
Glad you're OK Piggy. That would be a scary thing to go through.

thanks Clean
her corpse has been removed from NY to LA

Wonder what took the family so long to do this, and how much will Ferncliff charge for the next owner of that crypt ? "For sale, one crypt, slightly used (what's 48 years when you're talking ETERNITY), clean but has a slight smell of Judy to it". What irritates me is how the so-called journalist who wrote the article erroneously mentioned that Jayne Mansfield is also buried in H'wood (she's buried here in PA, the H'wood stone is a cenotaph) along with George Harrison (his cremains were said to be scattered in India per his religious beliefs). But then again we've entered the Era of Alternate Facts, so who knows .........
Hollywood Forever Cemetery is a much better resting place for her than some out of the way cemetery in Hartsdale, NY.
i would kill to look inside the box
Nothing much to see. People, and places in death appear differently then they did in life.
He's prolly just being a fame whore, but, what if?

I just heard the sad news Judy's daughter Lorna Luft has been diagnosed with brain cancer. so sad my prayers are with her and her family. she is also a breast cancer survivor. I heard the reason they moved Judy's remains to California so her kids can be buried next to her when they pass.

A striking first image from “Judy” shows Renee Zellweger playing show business legend Judy Garland in a biopic from Pathé, BBC Films and Ingenious Media. Principal photography is now underway on the picture, which is being shot in London. The movie is set in the late 1960s as Garland arrives in the British capital for a run of sell-out concerts.
As well as Zellweger in the lead role, the cast includes Jessie Buckley (“War and Peace”), Finn Wittrock (“American Horror Story”) and Michael Gambon (“Harry Potter”).

If they can make Mariel Hemingway into Dorothy Stratten Why not Renee Zellweger into Judy Garland.

Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.
Anne Hathaway was slated to play her, I guess that's off. I wonder what Liza will say about Renee, she didn't want Anne portraying her mother, but thought Katie Holmes should do it. Katie Holmes ? Poor Liza , she's been out of touch with the biz too long ! LOL. Anyway, I can see Renee pulling it off.

Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.
Me and some friends visited her new crypt at Hollywood Forever last weekend. Its in a really nice mausoleum they set up for her and surrounding her wall crypt are hundreds of clear glass niches all around it. Two were already taken - by Gay men! I think its going to be mostly filled by Gay men as time goes on.
I've seen some pictures of Renee Zellweiger (I know that is spelled wrong, sorry), who is portraying Judy in a film shooting now. She looks SO much like Judy in the months before her death. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
To understand the living, you got to commune with the dead.

Interesting choice to play Judy. I like Renee but I NEVER would have thought of her. I could see Anne Hathaway in the role. I'll be interested in seeing this.

Have you seen footage of her in Copenhagen (sometimes called "The Last Performance"). Clearly the woman was very ill. In the picture Rene seems to be wearing some incarnation of the "Poppy Dress" created for Judy's TV show 6 years earlier and looks like she is in her mid 40s. Judy was so thin and weakened from so many years of yo-yo dieting, uppers, downers and whatever else she could get her hands on she had to be assisted wherever she went. She looked like she was in her late 50s/eariy 60s and she was only 47.
Happy Birthday, Cindy and Judy.

Happy Birthday Judy and Cindy ! I have always been a fan of Judy's, the one performance that tears me up is from the Carson show in '68, she sings After The Holidays, so poignant.

About a year ago I saw video of Judy online when she did Hollywood Palace from 1968. The videos were outtakes. Watching that I had feeling that she will be dead in less than a year and sadly she was. In the video Judy said...
"God damnit..this is so stupid !!"
"I can't take this anymore" and threw down the mic.
"I hate this shit"
..and while singing she threw her arms up in the air and said "..fuck it".
..and nobody on the set said anything !!
I went back and tried to see this again but the videos were deleted.
