She's so grounded and down-to-earth, and that was a big part of her charm. She also looks absolutely gorgeous here.

they don’t make them like this anymore. Really can’t think of one performer who can even hold a candle to Judy Garland.

She seems very at ease in the interview and her warmth really shows. She refers to the love she gets and gives back to her audience. I think this coupled with the strong, beautiful voice, is what made her the most amazing of performers. Rest in peace, Judy Garland.

Judy looked so well here and is so gracious and professional. Whatever problems would plague her in the last few years , she is definitely on top form in this interview.

In Gerald Frank’s biography “Judy” (which is the first and most accurate biography of Garland) after her death, he writes about her 1949 stay in the Boston sanitarium. Mr. Frank wrote about Judy’s stay there and how she’d visit the children’s ward and sing for them. Each time she would visit, there was a little girl that wouldn’t talk to anyone and Judy knew this and everyday she would talk to her but the day Judy was discharged she went to say goodbye to the children and that little girl started screaming and talking to Judy begging her not to leave.. Well, I started to cry because it was so emotional.. This is a great biography because it doesn’t sensationalize Judy. Mr Frank tells the real story.

Not everything in Gerald Frank's book, Judy was accurate and factual! Judy Garland never did write her own biography or authorize a biography! I want to hear things firsthand from the person themselves! Not here say, gossip, or speculation!

Wow. Just wow. Judys emotional intelligence about special needs children was so ahead of her time. She understood the special needs child here, as I've never really heard or seen in those years, etc. Just goes to show you how beautiful this woman was both inside and out. Her children still adore their mother and speak so wonderfully of her. Thank you for posting!
@lindseysanders36564 жыл бұрын
Del Cee I agree. I’ve always respected her statement, and it prompted me to see the film. So many special needs children indeed have many talents and high intelligence. I was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus(water on the brain), and I’ve done performance since I was a little girl. It meant a lot for her to say this, and I’m happy to have discovered the clip.

Being a mother of children with autism this makes me so happy to hear. She sees kids with special needs as kids not like freaks. She for sure had a good understanding of them.

She just knocked Sydney out... everybody came out here sooner or later, but nobody ever made an impact like this "temperamental Irish biddy"!

This interview took place, 11th May 1964 at the Chevron Hotel Sydney. The interviewer is ABC TV journalist Gerald Lyons. British -born Lyons was a urbane and serious(and colourless) man known for his probing interview style. He interviewed many politicians, including several world leaders as well as visiting performers like Judy.

It's ironic to me that from just a pure "acting" perspective, Judy's last films (A Child is Waiting, I Could Go On Singing) are actually among her best ... yet least popular. A Child is Waiting in particular is absolutely brilliant, albeit gut wrenching. She and Burt Lancaster should have both been nominated for Oscars.

It's clearly apparent that this is a very sensitive person who has been forced to navigate the meat grinder of the show business system, starting with her demanding and controlling mother, moving on to the studio system, and later her dependency on drugs and other people to care for her such as husbands, agents, etc. due to her vulnerability and ultimate inability to navigate life in the often cruel reality of everyday life. Ann Miller said that she had a force field around her that could be felt by audiences all the way to the rear of a theater. like many true artists, she channeled much beauty to the world via her transcendent gifts while her personal life was painful.
