Judy Garland has a sophisticated screen presence ..... and alot of worldly wisdom that you can just feel when watching her being interviewed by Media ''Squares'' of the 1960's !
It's always great seeing newly mined Judy material, just when you've seen everything. This interview came at the time of her concert at the O'Keefe Center in 1965. The review of it would be prove prophetic: her voice was gone, but it no longer mattered, she was loved. Keep in mind she was born in 1922, when nice women stayed home and cooked, and, a deft actress, she would work cooking into her interviews. Had she said she likes to split the atom in her spare time, many would believe it.
@defundthewar What garbage. Have you HEARD any of the O'Keefe concerts? Judy is in fine fettle. Compared to Carnegie Hall, no, it isn't as good, but she is far from being someone whose voice is gone. What a ludicrous indictment against her. She can't defend herself. I have about five nights and one matinee of O'Keefe, and on some of the shows her voice, for the time, is magnificent. I would suggest listening to one of these shows without prejudice and negative attitude.
@whatwouldjudydo Please post some or all of the O'Keefe shows! It is probable that the review was of her first night, which reviewers often attend. Judy is above defending herself, no defense is needed, such is her reputation. It's true that often her voice was fantastic, but the next day, as the review said, "like sandpaper grinding," and then the next day beautiful. This was due to certain factors. If I wrote what those factors were, you would pull up your skirt, run away in tears.
@defundthewar I know what the factors are, I have probably forgotten more than you will ever KNOW about Garland. I have studied her career and life for more than 40 years. I knew Sid Luft, Mark Herron and Mickey Deans, who sold me THE RED DRESS THAT JUDY WORE AT HER VERY LAST CONCERT. So I am not just anybody posting here. I have contributed to a dozen websites, six CD's, and one biography with the SAMPLES you will see on the video "The Judy Garland Archives." Watch it right here.
@whatwouldjudydo Was I right..you're in tears? That would be great if you upload O'Keefe. But if it's anything like the Greek Theater, it's a galaxy away from Carnegie Hall. When you love someone, you want that person to be seen and heard at her best, with no excuses necessary. Again, it's a testament to her acting ability- which stands the test of time- that Judy could be, after all this time, all things to all people, including wannabe housewife, which is pretty silly.
I have a recording from the O'Keefe and she is in marvelous voice; don't believe everything you read about the "decline" in her voice. Oftentimes she was not in good voice, due to various reasons, but there were times, even towards the end, when she was in very good voice.
Respond to this video.You took one review of O'Keefe and that was the basis of your ASSumption that Judy's voice was gone? What are you, new? Only someone unfamiliar with Garland's work could make such a broad statement. The O'Keefe shows are on cassette, so I will have to transfer them. Or I could tell you to get a time machine, go back to 1974, and start collecting yourself.
@defundthewar Judy's 'legendary' status was betowed upon her by a studio system and media that created a fantasy figure that stuck. Refuted to be the 'real' woman by some, it reared its ugly head hydra-like. I believe (of course I don't know for sure) that Frances Gumm would have liked nothing better than to be just ordinary: perhaps baking cakes, or just being home relaxing. Judy, however, had to bring home the bacon; she HAD to work work work. She worked herself to death. Frances died.
I've not seen this footage before. What a treat. He is proof, if proof were needed that this elegant, polite, sensitive, intelligent and humorous woman was not the wreck that some people like to fantasize about. Of course Judy had her problems (don't we all?) but hers were in the cruel searchlight of fame, and magnified accordingly. Indeed, she commands that room full of rapacious reporters, with the grace of a gazelle.
i think its true that if you wanna know how a woman will be in the future you gotta look at her mama... Liza talks just like Judy, they use the same expressions. i think judy would be very proud.
this is gold pure gold
