I will never understand how anyone could called her ugly she was so pretty

[@MaskedMan66]

I doubt anyone ever called her "ugly." She did not fit the movie studio's very narrow ideals of beauty, at least before she blossomed, so she was seen as imperfect.

[@jonathannocon]

Beauty is the eyes of the beholder. In today’s standards, she’s considered adorable imho. But back then, unfortunately that’s not the case. Sad but there’s a lot of those even going around to this very day

[@MaskedMan66]

@@jonathannocon Movie studios and modeling agencies in those days had rather rigid standards of beauty, according to which, Judy's forehead was too big, her eyes were too wide apart, her nose was too button, and she had a gap in her teeth. The teeth were an easy fix; in fact, Mervyn LeRoy paid for the procedure out of his own pocket. As for the rest, audiences thought Judy was lovely, and MGM make-up artists learned to work with her features as they were. There are tales like that of all sorts; Rita Hayworth, for instance, had what was considered too low a hairline, so she had it shaved back.

[@MaskedMan66]

@@jonathannocon I agree with you, though, that she was adorable!

[@jonathannocon]

I saw Judy’s early Oz makeup before director Victor Fleming made changes to then Judy’s makeup to what we would all come to know it as in the final cut, and she definitely had the looks department there also. Too much so that they had to dumb it down to make her look “younger & poorer” to suite Dorothy’s back story accordingly. Judy was a young, very talented and had all the trademarks of a super star that there were no doubt ppl in that field that were threatened by her rather quick success. Hence calling her ‘not pretty enough’ and so forth to subtlety stab her in her back which I’d imagine is the norm socialite(s) behaviour(s) & high society Hollywood at that era. Especially in the entertainment biz afaik.

The end of the song says it all...as if the writer took a cue from Baum's life when he wrote it.

[@dariapoklemba5272]

I would like to no more about your wisdom on Baum. I am very curious about what you wrote stating "like a cue from Baum's life." I actually saw 1 of the 3 pair of ruby slippers left in 2001 in Washington, D.C. absolutely amazing. even had a huge blow up photo of the scene w/the pelican on the lawn when they meet the wicked witch and the tin man. no one believes me on this, but, it is there. go look?

[@unionrdr]

Baum had many set-backs in his life in the 19th century world he was born into. He was actually scared by a scarecrow he happened upon while playing as a boy near the home in the middle of NY State. It obviously stuck with him. He wrote & produced plays in play houses his father financed, which eventually went bust. He married Maud Gauge against her mother's wishes in the 1880's, then moved to Aberdeen, Dakota territory. His stories reflected life around him. Droughts & all. Many farmers there went bust during the industrial age's beginning by the time he got there though. He opened a store selling luxury goods anyway. They were in hock for everything they owned. The store was forced to close in the 1890's. He then bought & renamed a local newspaper that he illustrated. He wrote about a tornado that picked up a house & dropped it 2 miles away. So here you can see Dorothy's house winding up in Oz. Dorothy was based on the women of the high plains he'd known & see struggling to survive in the Dakota territory. Many people left the Aberdeen area from mortgage losses & an Indian uprising that never happened. His newspaper then slowly failed. His health began to fail from all the travel & working at so many things to, " make it". He then was basically forced to turn to writing. His many stories of Oz tried to show that dreams can come true. But, in life, they surely didn't.

[@dariapoklemba5272]

thank you for all that info. lots of stuff I never knew. but, don't forget to look 4 the pelican! dreams do come true but sometimes you have to go thru a tornado OR 2 to get there. I'm living proof, clinically dead 5 times & survived an abduction w/intent 2 murder. God bless you

Glad you found it interesting. He had many adventures in his life with Maud. But the only one that seemed to work at all were his Oz stories. The name came from a filing cabinet, named O to Z.

I’ve never heard a voice like hers

[@lauriefaithprescott]

She nailed this performance and this song. The end tho, she took a small bow and went offstage. I do Truely believe Hollywood killed her. Thank God for these child labor laws now. RIP judy

[@mayaa5048]

Laurie Faith Prescott - wasn't just the labour laws it was the evil deeds of those satanist pedophiles of hollywood and her greedy mother who did that to her..

[@arnebroxleirnes418]

Yes, she seemed to be in a hurry to get out of there...

[@LeoRAAAHHH]

She stopped smiling when you couldn’t fully see her whole face

[@MaskedMan66]

They had child labor laws then; Judy only worked for four hours a day when she made "The Wizard of Oz."

[@user-zr6rm9jm7r]

She said the hardest thing she ever had to do was be Judy Garland - Hollywood destroyed another beautiful girl/soul - but it does not take away from her beauty, grandeur and wonder. And I still have not got the feeling of awe from any other movie than I did when I watched the Wizard of Oz for the first time: especially when she started singing this song. Rest in peace, sweetheart.

[@Conservativemanusa]

Judy Garland was a 1 of 1

[@tommyarthurso3785]

That is a mature woman in her 60s singing. It's a misery that her Mum, MGM and Hollywood destroyed her innocence, her youth and her fate.

[@Legend-vs6vu]

Hollywood is a cult nothing more as for her mother she only cared about money

[@michaelmorris7238]

if i could go back in time i would have saved Judy from all that misery. i also have murdered her mom, MGM and Hollywood for Ruining her life.

[@RooRooWBU]

The way she sings over the rainbow and her eyes move at the sky like she’s really looking for it 😢 what a voice, and what power !! My Nan sang exactly the same. Goosebumps

[@mortified776]

It's really noticeable how much she'd worked on and developed her voice by the time of this performance. A grown woman compared to the little girl that sang it on the Oz set only a few years before.

[@MaskedMan66]

To be sure! In 1950 she played Dorothy again on the Lux Radio Theater's adaptation of _The Wizard of Oz._ It's really interesting to listen to; when she speaks, she sounds just like she did in the movie, but when she sings, her voice is fuller and richer. 🙂

[@Brklyncutie17]

To think this song was almost taken out of the wizard of oz!!! This song became her anthem for the next 30 years of her life. A song that defined her life exactly. Nobody should even touch this song. This is hers! Only Judy/Frances (her birthday name) can sing this song. She’s over the rainbow now watching over Liza,Lorna& her baby Joey♥️

[@MaskedMan66]

She would not say that. She would not begrudge anyone the chance to sing that song; her own daughter Liza sang it.

[@Pugkin5405]

It's stupid to say nobody else should touch it because this is your favorite version.It's art and the entire point of art is to share it with other people. I hope after two years you learned how to grow up and stop acting like a child

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why, then, oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?

Judy Garland was so pretty and yet she never felt as pretty as she was and her singing voice, of course, has never been matched in its strength or beauty.

[@jacobnorris5725]

She is was one of the most beautiful woman I ever seen. But those fuck hèads always put her down.

[@StevenJingles]

This song would bring a tear to my father's eye. He was raised that men don't cry, so he would always pull back if he started crying, but this was one of the times he would start to cry and then try to pull back. Any time I watched Wizard of Oz he would do this. He passed a little over a year ago. I miss that.

[@jackwalker1822]

One of the greatest talents America has ever had. Not just singing, but acting, dancing, everything. What a shame she was so abused by the Hollywood system.

[@MaskedMan66]

She abused herself as well, sad to say. But she was always appreciative of her audiences and loved to perform for them.

I'll always love Judy. I sang a mellow version of this to my boy every night when he was a baby.
