JUDY GARLAND on MARLENE DIETRICH - Diva on Diva

[@JloveLamar]

@@alexfrederick5475 What about her wasn't to "get"? Did you hear what she said? Judy was under the impression that Marlene was going to play a record of her singing. It was a record of applause. Who does that?

[@alexfrederick5475]

@@JloveLamar I agree that particular instance was very odd behaviour, playing the record of applause. Perhaps she did that because she thought Judy didn’t respect her. What I was referring to was the fact that their styles were different, Judy basically said Marlene was not a singer and I think she was wrong. She didn’t understand Marlene’s talent.

[@michaelmiller1215]

Judy was naturally so funny! Liza has always said thus, but we are all so used to thinking of Judy as as a sad, tragic figure...

[@flyboy13131]

We’ve all heard about Judy’s problems , addictions ,low points , lateness on the set , and suicide attempts . I would rather dwell on remembering her as one of the funniest and gifted stars we’ve ever had rolled up into one little person . She has given me more joy in my life than just about any other famous entertainer. I only wish I could thank her for a gift like this I truly will cherish my entire life . Stop dwelling on the teeny inclusion found on this 100 karat diamond .

[@teijaflink2226]

She's funny but it could be hurtful for Marlena but maybe Judy knew that she wouldn't care.

Judy never looked better (to me) than in these first two interviews. Read "Marlene Dietrich by Her Daughter" by Maria Riva. Yes, she was an egomaniac, but she was a genius at creating and maintaining her own legend. It's never just luck.

[@victoriajarvis2260]

Marlene Dietrich by Her Daughter - by Maria Riva. "My mother was a magnificent actress, and as a human being, a monster. The "diva" destroyed a lot of people's lives. She walked all over people's hearts. She destroyed Maria, but Maria triumphed. She didn't "punish" her mother, she portrayed her in every aspect. A brilliant piece of literature! But Riva didn't live long after that. Her childhood killed her.

[@outinsider]

@@victoriajarvis2260 According to Wikipedia, Maria is still alive at 94.

[@musculusgarbos]

She's no making this up. A real record was made in 1964 I guess, a compilation of the thundering applause she`d been getting everywhere, made only for Marlene, of course.

[@kimmylovesvintage3931]

Marlene is just so silly! I bet Judy and Marlene were good friends, although Judy may sound a little rude sometimes. But Marlene bringing in a record of just applause is just hilarious! She just wants to show everyone how well she did performing at all different kinds of places. Marlene forever! 💖

Watch the documentary "Marlene" Maximillian Schell made. Marlene only agreed to if for the money, then refused to appear on camera or even have her apartment filmed. She was drunk and rude through most of it. When she watched it, she claimed it was an impostor and threatened to sue. Its really interesting because she lies about having a sister, even though Schell showed a photo of them together.

Poor Judy, in 1964 she still looked good and still had her cutting wit and sharp acuity. However only 3 years later in 1967, the alcohol and pills had really taken a toll. It was around this time, maybe a year earlier, that many of her friends said the Judy had lost something. She wasn't as sharp and lost her quick wittiness. You can clearly see it in later interviews she did around that time, from 1966/67 until her death. She looked awful and slowed down intellectually. Rest in Peace Judy.

[@grecogrant2511]

love the day of real talent and stars it was not easy but they were all great

[@Lee-xs9ee]

This story is true. Dietrich's promoter made the record for her to cheer her up because some difficult things happened to her when she was in Germany. A little girl spit on her and others carried signs saying "Marlene Go Home!" etc. She hadn't been in Germany since the death of her mother following the war and was unsure what reception she would receive.

[@wardarcade7452]

I wonder if Miss Garland heard about Maria Callas's faux pas with Miss Dietrich (and, if so, what would she have thought of it)? Long-short is that for a time, Miss Dietrich became enthralled with Miss Callas-. Offstage, Miss Dietrich took great pride in skillfully cooking sumptuous meals for her family, friends and flames to impress them. To that goal, Miss Dietrich took 8 pounds of U.S. Grade A beef which she boiled and strained over and over again many times over quite a few hours to transform it into 8 OUNCES of beef bouillon which she proudly served to Miss Callas. Miss Callas sipped it then remarked 'Very good. What brand of CUBES do you use?'- Yep, that abruptly ended Miss Dietrich's interest in Miss Callas!

The most talented woman in the history of show business, triple threat singer, dancer, actress; it would have been too much of a miracle if she was a great beauty too. Yet she had an inferiority complex.

[@rogerpropes7129]

Her musical talent has been commended by her peers; opera singer Maria Callas once said that Garland possessed "the most superb voice she had ever heard", while singer and actor Bing Crosby said that "no other singer could be compared to her" when Garland was rested.[142]

I'll always adore Judy Garland but I wonder what it was like to live with her. 🤔 Probably VERY stressful. She was, I suppose, the definitive "Tortured Artist."🌹(San Francisco/June 24th, 2018)

[@roberthenleynola]

Patrick, I saw her six nights in a row in Westbury, Long Island in 1967. I was able to get someone to let me meet her. Her performances were wonderful, and I couldn't believe how great she treated me ... at that time a I was a little 19-year-old nobody from Mississippi, and she said to me, "You're Robert, and you've come from ... oh my dear, is it Mississippi? to see me, and I think you're just MARVELOUS." She had this dressing room (suite) full of celebrities, and she let me sit on the floor beside her, and she kept asking them, "Don't you just LOVE his Southern accent?" It was the high point of my life. She was just the greatest. And the audience at Westbury just loved her. She was the greatest.

[@patrickjenkins9167]

Robert Henley 🌹 LOVE your story❗I just woke up and your's was the first thing I read. That may be the COOLEST celebrity encounter anyone's ever shared with me. Thank you. Also, my Mother's side of the family came from....you guessed it: MISSISSIPPI. You know, a True Artist like Judy Garland is often fascinated by the multitude of regional accents that she hears from people. Languages & Accents are perhaps the [1] human characteristic that intrigues me the most when I meet someone. And Judy Garland Traveled A LOT! So, I'm TOTALLY CERTAIN that she found your Southern accent: Sweet, Genuine, and quite Charming. And you were only 19 at the time⁉️😎 Oh My God. She liked you. I'll say no more.🥀

[@anydots1]

It might have been stressful but her children think it was wonderful living with her! I've heard Liza Minelli and Lorna Luft say what good friends they've always been, thanks to their loving mum.
