Do you belong to Judys fan club in England ? Last week I got a dvd documentary from the club on Judys 1957 Domion concert- with footage behind the stage of Judy for a few minutes or two- its the clubs first attempt on making a dvd of stuff related to Judy -

@ozboy39 No I don't. But that sounds really good!

[ozboy39]

Yeah I know its old but its one of the best documentaries on Judy Ive seen in a long time- maybe one day it will be shown here in the U.S. - Thanx

[firefliesuk]

@ozboy39 It is a really good one. It was part of a BBC series over here. I wish they would repeat them all

[ozboy39]

[firefliesuk]

I'll love Judy Garland, no matter what anyone says. If I were at the funeral, I probably would have been histerical. Even though I didn't know her personally. RIP, Miss Garland. :)

I have a copy of his book, "Get Happy", and I found alot of it very upsetting, after I read it I never picked it up again, It is collecting dust on my book shelf, and It was very difficult to actually believe half of it. So I agree with you on that. He made her look so terrible when in fact she was the greatest entertainer to walk this earth =) Good comment-

It's sad how they weren't close to Judy towards the end of her life. Lorna just couldn't take the addiction and the new husbands anymore :(

[beki17]

the children of addicts have a love hate relationship with their parents, they love their parents but hate that behavoir that separates them, you take it personal and think that if you could somehow change your behavior than your parent will stop, and nothing you can do will stop them it has to be your parent that wants to stop, and at the time and in Judys world it was nearly impossible. This must have been compounded a hundred fold being the daughter of Judy Garland. everybody loved her.

It seems to me that the "tragedy" of judy garland that everyone talks about is how used she was by everyone around her. As a commodity she was the trick pony thrown out on stage to make more money for others regardless of her health or happiness. Now we have her children doing the same thing that everyone else in her life did to her.

How fucking rude she is to even say that Judy's fan's cant cry over her death. Its not exactly making it about themselves, they just lost a person who brought years decades even of talent to the television. Just cause they didnt know her personally doesn't mean there not allowed to cry.
