JUDY GARLAND: 'YANKEE DOODLE BOY' WITH MICKEY ROONEY FROM 'BABES ON BROADWAY'.

[millers3888]

Judy was such a diva...

I personaly like James Cagney better singing this

[rmd99]

@bulson08 - I agree. I love Mickey Rooney but when it comes to Yankee Doodle Dandy, it belongs to James Cagney.

I'm no major fan of Judy Garland or Mickey Rooney, but seeing how well their chemistry was, it would have been nice to see them together in more movies, especially their adult/grown-up years.

How come the idea of THEM marrying each other never came about? Felt like friends only?

I think I had read somewhere that she admitted to having a crush on him, but met an older man (can't remember who) and got over it. Sorry for the vagueness.

[ladylights1999]

@OldieMusicMan The older man you are referring to is Artie Shaw a band leader and clarinetist form the 30s & 40s he was 12 years her senior but he had no interest in Judy, only as a Friend although this broke Judy's heart when he turned around and married Lana Turner while on their fist date. that lasted only 6 months

@ladylights1999 This movie was made in 1941 and in 1945 Artie Shaw married Ava Gardner and they were married for 1 year. But, 3 years before that in 1942 Ava Gardner married Mickey Rooney and they were married for 1 year.

@hjb103055 I'm sorry you misunderstood my conversation w/ OldieMusicMan We were not discussing Ava Gardner or Mickey Rooney. I know that Mickey proposed to Ava Christmas eve 1941 & Married Jan 1942 not sure what that's got to do with how Artie Shaw hurt Judy Garland when he married Lana Turner on their first date in 1940. Judy was infatuated with him at that time & Artie said later he was to old to get involved w/ Judy romantically however Lana is only a year older than Judy.

@ladylights1999 I didn't misunderstand your conversation with OldieMusicMan. I just thought it was some fun trivia. I send it to you because you said something about them. I was only making conversation. That's all.

[ladylights1999]

@hjb103055 ohh well I always enjoy learning new fun trivia's especially on Mickey & Judy. I can't get enough info on them... read nearly all bio's on Judy all on Mickey. Thanks for the input & sorry for the misunderstanding.

[hjb103055]

@ladylights1999  No problem. Have a good day :)

@OldieMusicMan Artie Shaw, the bandleader. But then he up and married Lana Turner and broke her heart.

@OldieMusicMan

well Mickey never fooled around with men like her husband did

but then Judy and Vincette's daughter also married a gay man
