Thanks for the comment.

Dropping Deanna Durbin was a big mistake. MGM would have made her a big star and she and Judy were so different that each would have had their niche.

@antinotis Thank You for watching.

I thought they didn't casst Shirley Temple because she wasn't a strong enough singer?

Either way Judy made a much better Dorothy :-D

@kerryincolumbus Yes Deanna still lives just outside Paris, France. She'll be 91 this year..

@AVeryLongScreenName It's from Every Sunday 1936

@HeatherGlen33 Interesting comments. I think both could act and both ended up with short movie careers. Judy had to move on to concerts and TV. Not that I minded. She was phenomenal. Deanna was with Universal and they her mostly awful material and of course movie tastes changed after the war.

@antinotis Durbin didn't like show business. They moved her from singing to a glamours movie, and she failed miserably. Judy could act. Lots of charmisa. Durbin married and had ( I think) 5 children and lived in Paris.

WHAT?? When did D. D. move to Canada to live? last I knew of, she was still living in France.. I think someone needs to check their facts... I could be wrong, but, I don't think so......

@SuperHartline Did you read about Deanna being a bitch lol? That's hilarious! It's true, everyone loved Judy; especially as a child

[antinotis]

@carmenjones411 You may well be right. I don't believe this guff about Deanna being difficult. I do appreciate both of them and they are so different that I don't see why one cannot be a fan of both Judy and Deanna.

@antinotis I think that would have been even worse for Judy. Can you imagine her competing with Durbin at the same studio? Judy already lacked a good support system at home and MGM surely would have pitted the two against each other and Judy probably would have met her demise even earlier because the strain of it all.

It's from "That's Entertainment". This segment on Judy Garland was narrated by her daughter Liza Minnelli

I grew up in L.A. My father worked at Columbia. I had all sorts of connexions to showbiz. A relative of Lou Ostrow (MGM and RKO producer). Friends with Al Finestone's family. He worked at Paramount publicity. Another relative at Universal, etc. It was common knowledge. All those who worked with Garland on Wizard of Oz said how nice she was. Most of those at Fox such as Robert Stack commented on Durbin being a bitch.
