I thought she was much older than that when she died wow. No way was she 47.

[@tinagiordanella3212]

She definitely was 47. She just looked a lot older because of all of those years spent abusing drugs and alcohol. There's a special place in hell for people like Ethel Gumm and Louis B. Mayer. How a mother can subject her children to something so horrible all for money and fame is just beyond me. And what's worse, is she allowed Mayer to continue abusing Judy like he did with all the other young starlets at MGM at the time. Everyone knew what was going on at that studio and nobody did anything to stop it. Disgusting.

Not only that, but her mother accepted to give her drugs to loose weight while filming the wizard of oz... so sad

[@gd18cyclist22]

What is probably the most tragic is how she was really treated when they filmed Wizard of Oz. Her husband stated that the actors playing the munchkins molested her on set and most of the cast turned their backs on Garland except for Margaret Hamilton aka Wicked Witch (ironic). On top of all of that is that someone from the crew slapped her really hard at one point when she found something to be funny.

[@jeniferkenney2984]

Where did you read that from?

[@thatonepersonobsessedwithm4338]

The director slapped her because she kept laughing because of the cowardly lions cries. If you watch the scene you can notice she’s about to laugh. The director got mad so he slapped her but then asked someone to break his nose again because he felt bad for her, and Judy overheard and said “no but I’ll kiss your nose” and kissed his nose.

Shirley Temple was actually first in line for the role of Dorthy.

I'm glad Shirley Temple didn't get the role. Shocking that some pedo did that to her, but even worst with her mother's response and they did nothing just so they could still keep working in that kind of business. Wow, those poor young girls. They have similar problems around the world. Like one lady from Korea took her own life, because of the abuse she got and nobody believed her. These directors, actors, that takes advantage of young ladies /girls, should be treated like murderers. So sad!!! Judy looked older than 47, I thought she was in her 60s. (The poor girl who's mama got her hooked on fricken drugs).

Judy Garland is my childhood icon, from about the age of 4-5, after watching 'The Wizard of Oz', and learnt all trivia about her, read multiple books, documentary's, as well as watching a large majority of her filmography. Also having framed photos of her in my University room. Her life had awful obstacles but her life wasn't tragic, she was a fighter, powering through all the showbiz BS, being put onto performance enhancement pills from joining MGM. She crushed every performance through her 15 years in making motion pictures, 100s of radio shows, 1000s of concerts, The first woman to receive the Grammy for 'Album of the Year'. I wish this video was called 'The life of Judy Garland and the implications of Golden Age fame', just sick of people saying "poor her" "so tragic".

Hi Will, I didn't read books, but watched a couple of documentaries. She was iconic, yes, but I do think she deserved so much more in her life, and I think she never had any stability, with family, with marriages, and with life eventually. I think it is tragic how they treated her, and I believe that point that out will hopefully prevent something similar today. I always love to think that Judy is the kind of woman who is brought to this world as a gift to society, but in being that, she suffered a lot. Hope I didn't make you angry with this, it's just my humble opinion, and I'm not discrediting your opinion with it, because she was truly one of a kind.

Roberta Henley sorryfor your loss. Prayers to you and your family 🙏🏾

her parents may not have wanted her, but we sure as hell did. judy garland was a real treasure to the world, and still is to this day. hopefully she is truly happy somewhere over the rainbow.

[@katmd03]

One of my absolute favorite female singers/entertainers of Hollywood's "Golden Age". She was so gifted but had such a hard life. Hopefully she is at peace

[@Anna-im4lv]

Her father was the only one she had, and was her inspiration (alongside her children) to carry on. Such a tragic that he died way to early. Just imagine how different and happy Judy would be if her dad was there to support and encourage her. Hollywood didnt deserve judy, they only focus on the *beauties* (lana turner etc) and not the talent at that time. And Judy belittled herself, she was extremely beautiful and talented, she had it all those people only made her think she wasnt

[@wowitslexii]

Wizard of oz is such an iconic and nostalgic movie and it always will be. I will always remember how I used to sit in my doctors office (when I was like 6-8 years old) and the doctor would put Wizard of Oz on when I came in. I love this movie, it will never stop making me cry and making me feel nostalgic and happy.

[@LegitMay]

It’s really depressing and unhappy of what Garland went through she was called hurtful words, inappropriate being touched, forced to lose weight, taken a lot of pill(maybe drugs), her mother used her and her sisters for fame and lot of the actors turned their backs on her (exception of Margaret and probably Mickey Rooney)

[@lunadarling5598]

Maybe drugs ? Literally just said she took amphetamines which is basically meth and downers to come down which is narcotics as well

[@jmy871]

She was never looked like she gained any weight in her films in anything she looked more leaner and skinnier when she got a lot older

[@riverstone9005]

Shame on her parents! Judy didn't have a chance from the get go. They turned her into a drug addict, wouldn't let her eat, only God knows what else happened that no one knows about! Also, I can imagine her failed relationships were a direct result of her not knowing how to receive love unless it was on stage. RIP Judy

[@jeniferkenney2984]

Perfectly said!

[@fear_hunter_gamer5523]

It wasn’t her father though! It was her MOTHER. Judys father loved her DEARLY and said he would support her no matter what.

[@MsRocka92]

Such a beautiful woman, she seemed really sweet too. So sad how her life turned out to be.

[@Jake-badger]

It’s so sad that her mum gave her so many drugs at such a young age 😭😭 and the crew from wizard of oz forced her to use more drugs and fired her for her drug addiction that THEY started.

[@n4rfyou]

Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney were the cutest thing together. It’s sad they never became anything more than friends, Mickey could’ve saved her life. I feel like he was the only person who made her truly happy. 🥺

[@smarty34_69]

I’ve seen the film they recently made about her. Learned a lot about her and what she had to deal with... She actually used to be one of my biggest role models, because when I was in first grade, I was in The Wizard of Oz. I played Toto and was the only first grader in a cast of 3rd graders and 12th graders. I loved the musical so much and kept listening to videos of her performances. And just recently when I watched the film, it really took a hold on me, one of my favorite idols from when I was younger had to deal with so many things...

[@ellie327]

@@princesspeachfan100 absolutely Judy was such a beautiful human being! Her “mum” sounded a right control freak and seemed to love living through her kids. They blamed poor Judy for her drug addiction and sack her when they were the ones who got her on the drugs. I can’t believe the nerve of them and her mum making her get an abortion... she deserved so much better and when Lorna her daughter was born she banned her mum from seeing her kids which you can’t really blame her for

What's truly very sad and shocking is the fact that she didn't win the Oscar for the movie a star is born eventhough she was nominated. Total BS!!

[@DarknetDude]

Parents should (obviously) be cognizant of how they treat their children, regardless of whether or not they were intended to be born, especially when they decide to thrust their child into spotlight; from what I've seen, it's not as glamorous as some make it.

i just randomly stumbled upon her name and was shocked to read she passed due to an overdose.. after watching this video I feel so sad for her. What she went through is nothing compared to the things I've encountered. She didn't deserve to live so miserably. I wish she could've been happy and lived a normal life but even her own parents couldn't give her that :( but thankfully her legacy will live on forever❤️

[@carolynkeiser7082]

Judy Garlands children have done well in telling her story & in representing their family. Problems come to everyone, what we do to deal with our problems is very important. You can carry your problems around like a bag full of rocks, or look for silver linings on storm clouds. I think Judy Garland & her children found some masure of success & Joy together at the end of the rainbow. That what makes their story so remarkable ! 🎆

[@lanas1149]

She will forever be remember by everyone who has seen the wizard of oz because she is in everyone’s hearts.

[@debra2700]

As a baby boomers we waited with great expectation to see The Wizard of Oz. Our parents couldn't put it on whenever we wanted to see it, it was a once a year treat. We loved Dorothy and the magic of Oz. One of the most heartbreaking things about growing up in the 50's and 60s was to become adults and have to hear how Judy Garland was tortured and abused by the movie industry to bring us that beautiful fantasy. Thank you Judy for making our childhoods so special and I hope you found that peace and beauty you were looking for over that rainbow..

[@Djdreamstudios]

Forever in my heart ❤️ Judy! I love her regardless

[@capdown6828]

I watched the Wizard of Oz for the first time last night and it is automatically one of my favorite movies. Mainly because I found Judy very captivating. Her look and voice are beautiful. I read about her on Wikipedia (didn't tell all of the details from what I've read in these comments), and I slowly became really sad almost to the point of crying here and there. Someone like her deserved better for sure. One takeaway I have from reading up on her is Hollywood has apparently always been full of corrupt and lustful higher-ups. Should've thought so. I just always thought people back then were more dignified and had stronger morals and values. Money and power have always been stronger I guess. Again, should've thought so.

[@Sfxfreestyle]

The fact she looked 60 in her 30s just makes it so heartbreaking. We see actors and actresses throughly the lenses of films. We only know what the media let’s us know. To us, they live a glamorous life, with luxurious items and care free days. But in reality, they aren’t much happier than you and I, and often times can have issues we never imagined. Judy garland probably has the most tragic life story of a Hollywood actress due to the amount of injustice in her life.

[@eivindgjengstjohansen9625]

For The Wizard of Oz, 16-year-old actress Judy Garland was forced to take on a diet of chicken soup, coffee, and 80 cigarettes a day. DAMN EIGHTY CIGARETTES AT SIXTEEN?
