A Star Is Born and Judy's Detox Judy Garland

From the biopic Me and My Shadows; filming of A Star Is Born and Judy's attempt to detox from medication on her own; addiction was very misunderstood in the 1950's and Judy made many attempts to try to kick her addiction to amphetamines by herself.

With the new DVD and Bluray coming out of A Star Is Born later this month, (YAY!!) it seemed timely. You can argue that Judy Davis isn't Judy Garland, but she's pretty amazing in these scenes. Scenes also include Victor Garber as Sid Luft and John Benjamin Hickey as Roger Edens.

Someone's already uploaded Judy's Oscar losing scene on here, so I stopped short of that.
Let's hope someday Warner's can retrieve a complete print of A Star Is Born somewhere so we can see Judy's masterpiece in its entirety!
There is reason to believe that a complete print of A Star Is Born may be in the hands of a private collector. Since the cutting was done after the film's initial release, it's possible. Be sure to SIGN THE PETITION for the complete
print of ASIB to be shown! Details on the story here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/shareasib/

Thanks for posting. Would love it if you could post the whole film. I saw most on here but it was deleted before I could see the end. So annoying. Have playlisted.

@gadask1 sorry - can't risk my youtube account. They already deleted another part of it that I put up.

I'm sorry but Davis's reenactment's to Garland's scenes from "A Star Is Born" is absolutely aweful, didn't convince me one bit. She looked like she was trying TOO hard & that's what totally threw her whole portrayal of Garland's FLAWLESS acting skills off not giving it the smallest shred of the justice it truly deserved (hell just as much in real life when Judy watched her much deseved Oscar being presented to the grasp of Grace Kelly instead AND in this portrayal) ...to ME anyway.

@IGiveMyLife2Follow It's Judy's voice - in my opinion, it's the only way to do a Judy biopic! :)

Another actress that resembles Garland is Danielle Panabaker and then there's Broadway newcomer Jennifer Damiano who looks more like Garland than even Tammy

@millers3888 I know right, I think what Judy had in common with Britney is the fact that they both have the same eyes, I am gonna or maybe going to make a video on their resemblance, um here is some links were you can see how much they look a like Britney and Judy.

[millers3888]

@cinderelmo I think Judy had too distinct a look to look like anyone today. When I look at Britney when she was 16, and Judy during the Wizard of Oz, I see only a slight resemblance. In the end though, while this scene and movie as a whole was definitely over dramatic, I don't think Judy's wasn't. I think it was a two way street. She had great times, and really bad times. Just listen to the Judy Garland tapes. Drunken words are sober thoughts, and she said it herself, she was mad and angry.

@millers3888 Tammy Blanchard did look a lot like Judy especially the round features and brown hair and eyes doe eyes etc. but I think that Liza always did look like her mother I don't think she looks that much like her dad yes she does have some things in common with her father but the eyes is all Judy those lovely distinct big doe eyes, by the way you do know what I mean, when I say doe eyed? right?

[cinderelmo]

@millers3888 If anything Natalie Portman looks like a young Audrey Hepburn but she could play Liza, um I think Britney despite what people think of her is talented and could play Judy and looks like her a young version the doe eyes and as older Judy I do see a resemblance with Sandra Bullock and Judy the dark brown hair doe eyes etc. but nah cast Anne as Liza not Judy but, I think young Judy,Britney older Judy,Sandra and Anne, Liza but I do think Liza looks like her mother the eyes.

[cinderelmo]

@millers3888 As for the look alikes um I think and always thought Britney Spears reminds me a lot of a young Judy and Liza,more Liza with the big doe eyes and sad eyes etc. um I think Anne Hathaway reminds me more of Liza than Judy,Natalie Portman was rumored to play but nah her features are to angular to play Judy,Judy had more round features and looks wise reminds me more of Katherine Heigl and Britney Spears for that reason, I think Natalie looks kinda like a young Liza.

[cinderelmo]

@millers3888 ...She would have been here today to this very day, but s, she was 47 and tired working since she was young, but I can't blame Liza for what happened to her, but her mom was sick, she had two younger siblings, but I just wish fate intervened cause Judy needed help, unlike Marilyn Monroe everyone acts as if Judy was this child no she was an adult when that happened to her. Oh well I just wish somebody would have helped when she was frail. Her agents should have gave her a break.

[cinderelmo]

@millers3888 ..but nodoby even payed attention yes Judy was talented but with all due respect Judy was a grown women an adult but anybody with pure interest in Judy's well being should have said hey sweetie you don't look so good you don't need this Mickey Deans guy right now, that is what I meant by Mickey Rooney he said that wanted to take care of her before she went to England, I did not mean romantically,they were like brother and sister, If Judy would have had people who cared she would....

[cinderelmo]

@millers3888 Well to be honest to save Judy from her own accident I think getting her away from Hollywood was not the problem cause when the "accident" happened to her it was in London of all places, but if you mean away from Hollywood as in showbuissness then I agree, she should have taken a year or two off, Liza should have taken care of her she was 23 and her mom was sick, Judy could have been saved......

[millers3888]

@cinderelmo Anne Hathaway definitely looks more like Liza. Liza looks like a female version of her dad. Judy had a distinct look. I can see Britney Spears when she was young, but I think Tammy Blanchard was as close to Judy as they could get.
