Was she 47 there? She looked more like 67. She had money until she let some man take over her expenses. He blew every cent she had. That's what Lorna said in her book. The children would had been better off with their Father Sid Luft. Ethel and Meyer was the reason she was hooked on hard drugs, So sad.
I cannot explain the love, admiration and adoration that i have for Judy Garland and it is in my humble opinion that she is the most talented person to have ever come out of Hollywood. Listening and watching to this.. it just broke my heart so greatly, and truly i was on the verge of tears. She was such a beautiful and gifted person, so painfully beautiful, and to see her life come to this sort of end is just beyond tragic. I just hope she knows that even after death she is still adored by many.

00:18 "Judy Garland was one of the greatest talents of all time".......She sure was, the greatest entertainer of the 20th century more than Elvis more than Michael Jackson more than Sinatra, Judy was the greatest.
I love Judy Garland <3 I hate what those people did to her. Its sad really. I always thought she was a gorgeous woman, with lots of talent and a sweet sweet girl. It makes me sad that she did not live long, like the other actresses and actors, who she worked with.
@jrcgjb True. Fans of Judy like to say that she wasn't a tragedy, and in many ways she wasn't. But if a talent like Judy dying at 47 isn't tragic, I don't know what is...
7.25 seconds hollywood scumbag threatening her ... that's what they do, blackmail, threats, mindgames, hook stars on drugs, and when they have gotten all the money they can, or the stars threaten to expose them, they kill them.
and make money even on their deaths [image rights, wills, make a movie about their life or soundtrack and sell it .. etc]
they swindle money out of stars anyway they can .. and when the golden calf cant give no more ... they sacrifice it -_-
Judy Garland was murdered ! just go look up randy quaids 'star whackers' video.
do you think it is a coincidence so many celebrities have died in this way ? even today .. and celebrities are running away or dying from the same way ?
heath ledger, michael jackson, brittany murphy ..
that actor who played the kid in the goonies, committing suicide because he was child molested by evil jewish hollywood moguls.
evil child abusing cult, not just hollywood, 'operation monarch' in the whitehouse
The drugs and alcohol started showing onscreen by the time A Star is Born came out, but Judy was also a heavy smoker, so that could be why she was so thin and aged badly as well.
@millers3888 Yes, the smoking is just as bad as the pills and alcohol. The studio wanted her to be thin, unfortunately she ended up being too thin when she became an adult.
Ok i agree that they're making her tragic just to sell..but on the other hand it's not everyones father that's slightly gay, everyones mother a success driven woman who does sexuall favors and it's not everyone that's being sexually harrased in most of theis carreer and made to abort their first child by their producer, mother and husband. No I don't think she was like all of us, most ppl might get one of all those... sorry but it's tragic
These tapes were made at a very specific time when Judy was angry & bitter, all that work and unable to be with her children or protect them. No she wasn't tragic, she was witty & talented, she was however frustrated and with every right. But let's try and remember that back in the day Benzedrine was a 'wonder' drug, and prescription drugs were not known to be the danger they are now...
Why do people keep calling her tragic?, thats not fair! Judy Garland was and always will be one of the most talented people this world has ever seen...yes she had personal problems, but EVERYONE has personal problems!
omg shes 45 in this interview and she looks 70 so sad cuz she was and is one of the greatest artist the world has ever seen...btw isnt crazy how she sound just like liza but here looks older than liza looks today.
poor thing .she suffered so much.im brazilian since my chilhood with 4 years old ,y favorite actrees was judy,and singer.i like so much since i was young ''the wizard of oz''
Judy was not tragic. She was funny, witty, and happy. Of course her life wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good. Whoever knew Judy, or knows any truth about her they would never call her tragic they would describe her as one of the funniest person. And Gerald Clarke's book on Judy is built up on lies. It's nothing but horrible trash and is a waste of time. If you want to hear the truth listen to Judy's fans or a reliable biographer such as John Fricke, not Gerald Clarke.
Hollywood's corrupt beginnings. Judy didn't have a chance, she was "raised" towards a life of self-sabotage and self-destruction. Yes, she gave us much, but in the end, she gave herself little, if anything at all. Life, then, was remotely different from now. No one has the right to judge.
Who fucken cares what was said to you when you were small> get a fucken life and stop living in the past!! You are only conditioned to think a certain way by parents teachers and peers >THEY ARE WRONG!!!fuck them recreate your own mind patterns and fuck to all the negativity from stupid people
people who drink, smoke, take drugs, overeat, sexual addiction >>whatever people trying to cope with their psychological pain resort to these stupid addictions to try to avoid facing them. weak stupid and ridiculous ways. YOU are the only ones that can create your own world .You have a choice >wallow in pity or be happy and create a life for yourself
Its sad that when the weak is only trying to survive-not too much to ask for, they could be left behind by the cruelest of societies. Worst of all evils including 94Casino
@DoctorLawyerWhatever you are very wrong....you are right,talent was powerful but Elvis's bathroom was also a library!!so he died while reading...Not nice 'squatting on the toilet'...I feel sorry for Garland...poor soul,she looked about 65 at 47:( in my view...the booze done more than the pills.Weird unbringing...But none of us know the real story,apart from Judy,so many other stars who died tragic.
she hated to be called a tragedy. give the woman some respect. she was a legend. Respect her for the legend she was, and still is. on another note.. she was a remarkable entertainer
She was born June 10 and they are not always very stable. Well, who is in such an environment? I am a June 9 and feel a lot of compassion for her. She was very, very human. Her anger and stinginess toward her mother at the end, she regretted. I've been exceedingly generous to mine, remembering this, and it was a big mistake! I love the bio by Frank done years ago. Very interesting clip, complex story, great talent. People are not things -- we must remember.
i really dont think this is appropriate. degrading a woman even after she's dead. she did more than any of these talkshow hosts and doesn't deserve her memory to be trashed and thrown around, but instead have her memory cherished and loved.
dear friend there is not 1 day i dont think of you god blessed my when i met u at 17 a gift that happens just once in a life time i no everythng u tild ne was true i never sold you out i will only say the good things you were the best and i kind friend i sing because of u love you on my pray love vinny joseph
She was un healthy in 1959 the doctors told her she had 5 years to live.I'm sure that it scared the hell out of her.Being the STRONG WOMAN that she is she recovered and went on proved the doctors wrong and did her thing right till the end.I have HUGE RESPECT for the way she carried herself since no man could take care of her right so she did the best she could and that is why she is JUDY GARLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still Loving you Barb...
I think her life was sad. Regardless of whether or not she was telling the truth or influenced by drugs... she was sad. She was worn out. I've watched people deteriorate due to drugs. While they may lie and do awful things... you have to realize that they are doing drugs for a reason. There is something very wrong that they are trying to somehow fix. It's such a shame that the medical world wasn't what it is today because she could have gotten help.
IMO, there's a lot of muck in this documentary mixed in with truth. If you want to read a really well-written biography about her, pick up Gerold Frank's exhaustive book "Judy". He explains why he could usually not use his interview material with Judy to write the book, and that is because when she was being interviewed, or talking about herself, she was always PERFORMING, sympathy being the most important thing for her to obtain. I believe little of the negative she says about her mother...
But the thing is...and her kids have even said this...she got to the point where she lied alot.Probaly not on purpose but from all the drugs destroying her brain.Most likely she herself believed the lies she told.So you don't know what's true and what isn't regarding the tapes.
I personally own Clarke's book, and some parts I didn't agree with and some parts found myself saying, yes, that is plausable. But no matter if your a fan till the day you die and know every little detail of her life, movies and songs or just someone who knows about her, it don't matter because everyone has their different opinions. I'm an avid fan yes but there's somethings said about her that I have to agree with. No matter them bad or good.. =)
Gerold Clarke's book "Get Happy" contains a lot of bullshit. He believes everything Judy Garland said, despite the fact that a lof of what she said was unmitigated crap. She loved to blame other people for her problems and did so all her life. For the record: her mother did NOT make her a drug addict at nine or ten. L.B. Mayer did NOT grope her breast. That's just Judy's overactive imagination. How can anyone trust anything she said? She was a self-absorbed drug addict and alchoholic!
@moroney1 I know it's bullshit because Clarke's book is completely biased in favor of Judy Garland. I also know it's bullshit because a much better biography "Rainbow: the stormy life of Judy Garland" by Christopher Finch credibly refutes a lot of what is in Clarke's book, including the accusations that Mayer had the hots for Judy and Ethel Gumm was an abusive monster who shoved pills down her daughter's throat. You're typical of Judy Garland fans who just want to see her as a blameless victim.
@cynthiacher ehh...i bet it's 50/50...there's always truths on both sides, and everyone exaggerates there own. She was a child star. That means her mother was using her for her labor...was managing her..was controlling her. it's the britney spears, lindsey lohan syndrome. They get pissed off about their childhoods being taken from them and then they use it as an excuse to be dopes the rest of their lives..they're also surrounded by enablers. once her best days were ovr..her life was, to her.
She obviously lacked the proper role models...no wonder she sang with such feeling and intensity. Liza has got to be one of the kindest people I have seen, which is a real testament to Judy.
i would hardly call her life tragic. she had three beautiful, talented children, a career in a field she loved, and life of love. she went through rough times, but who doesn't? i think it is incredibly offensive to call her a tragedy. she was a human, just like the rest of us.
You are kidding right? You cearly don't know anything about her personal life, how she was pushed on stage at the age of 2 1/2 and never stopped till she died. She died from pills, forced to her from her mother, and got page crap for all her work, and at a time ended up OWING money. Get your facts right.
@UNIQscene yes i understand what you are saying. her mom was a bitch and mgm fucked her big time. but judy said and i quote "the biggest way in which i am misunderstood is by being seen as a tragedy. my life isnt all rainbows but i am not a tragedy" it was tough no doubt but i just cant see tragedy when i look at her. i meant no offense. you're entitled to your opinion.
@emariaban24 NO. Many have horribly worse lives. The difference back then is that people's crappy lives were hidden and these idiotic celebs were worshipped.. only if they were white of course. Everyone else was viewed as filth.
@emariaban24 Seriously, have you read any biographies of her life? She began her drug addiction prior to age 18, tried to sleep with as many married men as she could just to see how far she could take it, and just got progressively more dysfunctional as she aged.
@cdpjudith im not disagreeing with the fact that her shit got fucked up. im just pointing out all that she did. i think its insulting to call her a tragedy. how bout looking at it like this, look at everything awful that ever happened to her, and look at everything she accomplished. now tell me shes a tragedy. shes a hero for still making something out of herself. jeeze. like i said, i get what what you're saying im just expressing my opinion on the subject.
@cdpjudith you can hardly say that judy garland was disfunctional, and as for the drugs, well her mum and mgm got her addicted from the age of about 12, it was not her fault ,all she did was work her arse of, so that every1 could get rich of her, give the lady some respect !!!
@emariaban24, I agree. Yes, she has had a hard life, yes, she's gone through rough times, but is there anyone out there who doesn't?
She loved performing, she loved her children, and many people adored her. I refuse to call her a "tragic figure", and I refuse to believe that she intentionally ended her life.
unfortunately this was a sign of the times. MGM and all the other biggies destroyed many woman like Judy for the image ideal and the almighty buck. Other examples Marilyn Monroe , Elizabeth Taylor ( who I might add tried to kill herself numerous times) , Even Natalie Wood. The old days were'nt always good.
OMG I think it's HORRIFYING that she was forced to abort, my god, that is so inhuman. Louis B. Meyer was trully a motherfucking asshole scumbag is what he was, bona fide trash.
Judy---in spite of what bad people put you through---you are the greatest entertainer of the 20th century--along with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson. Only Frank escaped dying from drugs. Judy, you are in our hearts forever.
Sounds like her mother was more or less responsible for Judy's eventual death. What a horrible mother to have. It's a shame she had to live such a miserable life, yet forced to keep a happy face.
@NadiaBKat167 Despite what this report says, MGM was still partly responsible for her drug addiction. They gave Garland and other MGM kids (Lana Turner, Mickey Rooney, Ann Rutherford, etc.) amphetamines to keep them bright and perky through the long production days, then barbiturates to put them to sleep at night. It's rumored that it was Garland who author Jacqueline Susann patterned the character of Neely after. Garland was also belittled by Louis Mayer, which did no good for her ego.
@TomBarrister Yeah, I'm sure it was a combination of all those things. But still, how horrible to have a mother that started all that crap. You can tell starting at 3:20 from her emotions and what she says, that her mother treated her terribly and for her own benefit. If I was in her shoes, I think the fact that my own mother treated me that way would affect me the most.
@Abbyviki I agree...garland was a weak person...and she didn't seem to be all that smart. But her father was gay...not that i have a problem with him being gay, it's just that they're not usually known for their strength and masculinity. Taylor was a blessed girl to have a father who watched out for her....garland got soo screwed
@moroney1 Lol...I don't know which message you're replying too. I'm going to assume it's the one where I referred to the common ideal of gay men being weaklings...
Am I bigoted? Is being a weak, sensitive person a bad thing? or do you have preconceived opinions on the roles of the strong and the weak.
To prove strength there must be weakness somewhere and to prove weakness there must be strength...they are married to one another and neither one is mightier or greater then the other.
@RdtheLiterature wow that is one of the worst attempts at trying to change a previous statement ive ever seen, why the hell are you adding the word sensitive all of a sudden, u cant say all gay guys are weak, end of, now jog on
@moroney1 I didn't say all gay men were weak. I said they tend to be...Look, if you're secure in yourself and you believe in your life then all power to you.
I only responded because I feel like the word bigot is a little too harsh to describe me. I'm the more cold and brutal type. and I'm assuming, since you commented on my message first, I must have struck a chord with your sensitive nature...haha
Judy was such a great performer she never got half of what she put n2 life from any 1 I believe that the people n this bio & her children had love 4 her but she was robbed blind over and over again all her life heres a lady who never hurt anyone or had 1 bad word 2 say about anyone
i love the way these bitchest they interview about shit that happened before they were even born.. ha ha so many times. these so-called newscasters.. why should we believe them? they have exploited their association with the news. now, it is a farce. don't believe anything the news bitches tell you especially the jews
if judy's parents aren't in a "hell", they have made her a saint. all of you bitches that scheme on her stuff, your all trash. including her kids. time enough, you've grown old enough, you know broadway is death, it's so phony, playing there makes your gums bleed right liza. your all a disgrace to your mother. the only way you can make this up to her memory & afterlife is to tell the bleeding truth. now go to it!
she was manipulated by mgm so bad there is no restitution available unless we call it a holocaust. minelli was a gay man just like the other shills that were sabateurs. he gave her a child they say. all in all, she could have sued for millions instead all the bitches were conning her & making money. her death is quite dubious and her last husband better be dead.we know that cunt begelman blew his brains out about ten years ago. the lesson here is don't ever leave a gentile baby with fucking jews
No offense but some gay little boys who knew they were gay at an early age dreamed of walking in those Ruby Slippers as well. I now have a pair, Ms. Walters. But of course I understand you "can't say that on 20/20".
I was about to say well it doesnt matter how much money you have you can still be depressed. and ive actually learnt that this actress was bankrupt? WTF ive never heard that before until now. now i understand why she was so upset the real person behind her sadness was her mother & father, like the narrator said they used her as they're meal ticket.
I feel so sorry that she had to live this way. From the day she was born she felt unwanted. When she was born her parents were expecting a son. So her whole life she felt like a disappointment. Thus her having an extreme need to please others. She used to take those pills to kill the trouble...but then they became the trouble.
this poor woman was used and abused. and all they're doing is trying to put her down, and portraying her as a bad person. after all she had been through she had every right to be bitter and mean. her own children treated her poorly.
I love Judy garland so much she inspires me alot n I just wish I had the chance to meet her I feel so bad for her troubled life, she was a beautiful woman even on this video she is
In the movies she is not dressed to fit her body type. In wizard of OZ they try to make her look more childlike but only succeed in making her ankles look huge. Throughout this show the show clips of her in dresses that have poofy shouldres. She has wide shoulders to begin with, DONT MAKE THEM LOOK BIGGER! If only What not to wear had been around then...
This is sick, that such a beautiful, talented person had to go through this abuse. That anyone has or had to go through any sort of abuse. I would rather I had never heard of her and she was never famous if that meant she would have been able to live a loving, or at least normal life. Rest in peace, Judy Garland.
It still makes me angry to think that such a lovely girl was used and abused from such an early age. When your own mother has you hooked on drugs from the age of eight, and your worth is measured by how pretty you are and how many films you make, you hardly stand a chance. RIP Judy x
Sorry, everybody else. She was the single greatest entertainer of the 20th Century. The greatest vocalist, actor, damn near everything. Idolizing Judy may go down in history as the most brilliant and right thing any marginalized segment of society - yes, gay - ever did.
she didn't look "terrible" but she did look older than her actual years. She drank a lot and of course there were the pills, and she was stressed out of course. Don't say someone looks "terrible" just because they don't look 20. It's a stupid mind-set.
She always looked adorable and beautiful. She was unique looking, at any age.
Even the last person she was married to ,Mickey Dean or somebody, left her alone on one of her birthdays. Where was a guy who could appreciate a complicated genius ?
I read an article a few years ago that in her trailer when she wasn't on the set of The Wizard of Oz, she drank a lot of booze. Starting theatre and film at the age of 2, and until the end of her life. A lot of child stars do go a bit crazy, because they miss out on the best years of their lives by working so hard.
I couldn't find a date on this 20-20 Special....when was it done! When did Barbara Walters last see her in person....
It is a shame that so many people from MGM to those who were closest to her took such advantage of her and the other stars. It is just another reason Deanna Durbin called it quits with Hollywood!
The Wizard Of Oz is one of my favourite movies I loved it since I was a little girl and always loved Judy Garland. I sang Over the Rainbow to my class when I was 4 or 5. She inspired me to sing. I think a lot of actresses weren't happy with the way they looked. I know Bette Davis hated the way she looked also and she was gorgeous when she started out. Judy was gorgeous too when she was in Wizard Of Oz! R.I.P Judy! <3 <3
Was she 47 there? She looked more like 67. She had money until she let some man take over her expenses. He blew every cent she had. That's what Lorna said in her book. The children would had been better off with their Father Sid Luft. Ethel and Meyer was the reason she was hooked on hard drugs, So sad.

At 03:19, she looks kinda rough here, not healthy or vibrant looking.
Judy was never a beautiful woman, but she did have a "presence" or magnetism which drew you to her. She was a star, most certainly.
It is just sad that she is one of so many before and after her, who've had their lives completely ruined by booze and drugs. Miss ya, Judy.

Judy was not tragic. She was funny, witty, and happy. Of course her life wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good. Whoever knew Judy, or knows any truth about her they would never call her tragic they would describe her as one of the funniest person. And Gerald Clarke's book on Judy is built up on lies. It's nothing but horrible trash and is a waste of time. If you want to hear the truth listen to Judy's fans or a reliable biographer such as John Fricke, not Gerald Clarke.

Hollywood's corrupt beginnings. Judy didn't have a chance, she was "raised" towards a life of self-sabotage and self-destruction. Yes, she gave us much, but in the end, she gave herself little, if anything at all. Life, then, was remotely different from now. No one has the right to judge.

Her anger and stinginess toward her mother at the end, she regretted. I've been exceedingly generous to mine, remembering this, and it was a big mistake! I love the bio by Frank done years ago. Very interesting clip, complex story, great talent. People are not things -- we must remember.

While they may lie and do awful things... you have to realize that they are doing drugs for a reason. There is something very wrong that they are trying to somehow fix. It's such a shame that the medical world wasn't what it is today because she could have gotten help.
It's sad that her life was destroyed. RIP <3

IMO, there's a lot of muck in this documentary mixed in with truth. If you want to read a really well-written biography about her, pick up Gerold Frank's exhaustive book "Judy". He explains why he could usually not use his interview material with Judy to write the book, and that is because when she was being interviewed, or talking about herself, she was always PERFORMING, sympathy being the most important thing for her to obtain. I believe little of the negative she says about her mother...

I'm an avid fan yes but there's somethings said about her that I have to agree with. No matter them bad or good.. =)
MissGarland18 11 months ago
Gerold Clarke's book "Get Happy" contains a lot of bullshit. He believes everything Judy Garland said, despite the fact that a lof of what she said was unmitigated crap. She loved to blame other people for her problems and did so all her life. For the record: her mother did NOT make her a drug addict at nine or ten. L.B. Mayer did NOT grope her breast. That's just Judy's overactive imagination. How can anyone trust anything she said? She was a self-absorbed drug addict and alchoholic!

@moroney1 I know it's bullshit because Clarke's book is completely biased in favor of Judy Garland. I also know it's bullshit because a much better biography "Rainbow: the stormy life of Judy Garland" by Christopher Finch credibly refutes a lot of what is in Clarke's book, including the accusations that Mayer had the hots for Judy and Ethel Gumm was an abusive monster who shoved pills down her daughter's throat. You're typical of Judy Garland fans who just want to see her as a blameless victim.
cynthiacher 11 months ago
@cynthiacher ehh...i bet it's 50/50...there's always truths on both sides, and everyone exaggerates there own. She was a child star. That means her mother was using her for her labor...was managing her..was controlling her. it's the britney spears, lindsey lohan syndrome. They get pissed off about their childhoods being taken from them and then they use it as an excuse to be dopes the rest of their lives..they're also surrounded by enablers. once her best days were ovr..her life was, to her.

NadiaBKat167 1 year ago
@NadiaBKat167 Despite what this report says, MGM was still partly responsible for her drug addiction. They gave Garland and other MGM kids (Lana Turner, Mickey Rooney, Ann Rutherford, etc.) amphetamines to keep them bright and perky through the long production days, then barbiturates to put them to sleep at night. It's rumored that it was Garland who author Jacqueline Susann patterned the character of Neely after. Garland was also belittled by Louis Mayer, which did no good for her ego.

@TomBarrister Yeah, I'm sure it was a combination of all those things. But still, how horrible to have a mother that started all that crap.

If I was in her shoes, I think the fact that my own mother treated me that way would affect me the most.

Judy was gorgeous too when she was in Wizard Of Oz! R.I.P Judy! <3 <3
