[@elspethcoogan1499]

Venting raw emotion isn’t “acting”. One can tell Judy is revealing a profound emotional experience in the moment. Acting an emotional response requires the ability to feel the emotion and convey it in a controlled way, contained within the framework of what a director requires for a particular scene. In this short clip Judy is evidently straying from what the director wanted; after it he is heard saying “take three”. Judy was a phenomenal performer but at times she succumbed to her emotions and it would just be too extreme. Audiences require that actors have a modicum of self-control when it comes to performing, otherwise it can make for uncomfortable viewing. In your comment you start off by saying this clip was “..so hard to hear..”, which is probably why the director didn’t use it in the final cut of the film.

I'll bet a lot of that was from the grief that she was not allowed to have when her father died... they made her keep working, as if she had no feelings. And her horrible mother immediately got up with the neighbor right after her husband's funeral. Lorna's book talks about this.

[@RayPointerChannel]

Ethel, Judy's mother had apparently been "seeing" this man well before Frank became ill. There was an undercurrent about Frank Gumm being bisexual, if not closeted "Gay." But it was in very bad taste to go out with that man the same day as her husband's funeral.

[@7Lukibi99Tore7]

It is such a shame that Victor Fleming (the director of ''The Wizard of Oz'') and/or Mervin Leroy (the film's producer) mindbogglingly either failed to film the moment in the scene in the Wicked Witch of the West's castle when Judy Garland speaks the alternate lyrics to the song ''Over The Rainbow'' through her tears or deleted it from the final version of the film, because if they had filmed that moment or left it in the film and not deleted it, it would have elevated the film to an even greater level in movie history than the already phenomenal level it currently occupies and that moment in that scene would be regarded as one of the greatest moments in movie history alongside Bogart's ''Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship'' moment at the end of the movie ''Casablanca'' or Gable's ''Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn'' moment at the end of the movie ''Gone With The Wind''.

[@RayPointerChannel]

There were a lot of scenes discarded, many from the first two weeks of shooting under the direction of Richard Thorpe before he was taken off the film. It is possible that this may have been one of those scenes that was discarded. Also, there were sequences filmed at the start of production where the costumes were not that good. The concept of Dorothy was over-dressed as the early production stills show. To date, none of the footage from the first two weeks of production has surfaced, also there are numerous audio outtakes, such as this one.

[@MaskedMan66]

@@RayPointerChannel This would not be one of Thorpe's scenes, because that was when Judy was in a blonde wig.

It's never been said one way or the other, but I strongly suspect that she was a genuine prodigy.

She learned three new words every day and could recite lines and poetry after hearing them once.

[@elizabethdacosta5601]

I heard a recording of her saying she could read up to 9 pages of script just ONE TIME and remember every word. I’ve read where lots of her co-actors were stunned by her brilliance. In the movie The Harvey Girls, she watched the opening number, which involved at least 60 or 70 singers, dancers, and actors doing that long first number--watched it just ONE time with her double doing her part--and was able to do it in just one take! It was the “Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe” number. She was an incredible genius along with her unbelievable talent.

*SuperFisney Fan* research it for yourself. NEVER rely on other people's misinformation. I have never heard of Fleming or the other directors (OZ went through several) sexually abusing Garland. Rather, her second husband, Sid Luft, who died in 2005 and whose memoir was recently published posthumously, revealed that Garland was molested by the Munchkins on the set of OZ. You have to take it with a grain of salt, because Luft was not on the set of OZ (he and Garland met over a decade later), and Garland was notorious for embellishing facts and telling tall tales, according to her children and others.

[@RayPointerChannel]

I've read a lot about the life of Judy Garland. Much of what you posted is grossly distorted and inaccurate. It was the studio who started her on the pills to keep her weight down, while they had her on a starvation diet and gave her "pep pills" and "vitamin shots" for energy. Her mother did not have her on drugs at the age of five, but approved it as the studio suggested. The drugs had nothing to do with working her three days in a row when they usually worked six days a week at long hours as much as 12 to 16. In all I've read, I never came across her being "sexually abused" by her doctor. It would be helpful if you cited the sources for your information. That way we can be sure that you are posting facts and not following the trend of "fake news." This is what defines credibility.
