Anyone who gets loaded is oblivious to their surroundings. This woman is NOT oblivious to her surroundings. She gave a wonderful interview. She did not miss a beat. Dick, the audience and I love hearing her share. This video is much better than the first copy I watched that kept scrambling.
A National Treasure. So many people in the world including Africa, Taiwan etc seen her in The Wizard of Oz and were transported. Trust. This sounds like hyperbole but no way.
This is heartbreaking and at the same time a gem. It’s such a shame the way Judy Garland ended up. Look at this interview..here you see that she also was only human. Addicted to barbiturates..in the show high on them but still so classy, witty and brutally honest. People: don’t judge here... you never walked in her shoes. Rest in peace beautiful, gifted intelligent woman. ❤️
I wish everyone would stop going on about her being 'drunk' or high or whatever. She always slurred a bit but here, considering how ill she was because of the barbiturates that were soon to kill her, she is in wonderfully relaxed and lucid form. This is one of her best interviews - she is articulate, witty and honest. She clearly responds to Cavett's intelligence and gives a great interview. A better copy would be a real treasure but this is all we have and it is priceless.
I agree with you for the most part; however, Dick Cavett's purported "intelligence," here, eludes me...I think he is on his toes to keep up with his guest's razor sharp wit!
David Benson you are 100% correct. She is NOT drunk or wasted. Years of drug abuse lead to neurological damage and affected her speaking but NOT her wit or train of thought. I lose my train of thought more than her and I could never tell a story the way she does and all I have to blame is smoking a little pot as a teenager!!!!
Judy Garland...there will never be another. Charming, articulate, intelligent and downright funny...to think that she would be dead 6 months later makes this clip extra poignant. What a treasure. Thanks for posting.
She was so hilarious and such a national treasure. Even so close to her passing here when she starts singing she gives it her all and all.we can do is look at her and just listen to the magic
Oh I don't care about her being drunk or high or whatever... This is what I know she is the most talented singer hands down to anyone today... They suck compared to this woman and her phenomenal fantastic Talent... I say cheers to her....bravo judy
My Abuelito was a carpenter in Culver City and worked at M-G-M!! There were 2 Stars who treated him graciously (something NOT afforded many chicanos in LA in the 20’s/30’s/40’s) and even attempted speaking Spanish with him: Joan Crawford AND JUDY GARLAND: the stories he would tell-🙌🏾😮🤦🏻♂️👌🏾, AMAZING!! I was a little boy when our family was invited back for the famous M-G-M Auction: I remember being GobSmacked and mesmerized by THE RUBY Slippers as a 4 y.o.-😮
Polly Jones I too love Judy ! She was a tortured soul with demons . M.G.M caused her addiction and killed her . Congratulations on your your recovery! 😊❤️ By the grace of God I celebrated 35 years in August. May you continue the path in your recovery.
This remastered kinescope (which on occasion still jumps) captures better than almost anything we have here on TH-cam the unique nervous energy that so many who knew her have spoke about when they were interviewed. Her daughter Liza said, as had so many others, that even in her worst condition--and that day with Cavett she was surely not her best--she was enormously quick and witty in a self-deprecating way. Judy had seen it all, and her story about Harry Rapf, one of LB Mayer's yes men, captures the atmosphere at 1930s MGM better than many a book. Judy could laugh at herself and the insanity of the business. She was a survivor, and a very great artist.
Judy is just adorable here..I think its one of her best interviews...honest witty warm and silly....I don't care what she is on... anytime with Judy is worth a watch. I got to speak one on one with Dick on a TCM cruise and we discussed this show. He told me they had a hard time getting Judy out of her dressing room just b4 the show...but once she came out Dick told me she was just delightful...love how she refers to her now classic TV show hidden in NJ b4 it was re discovered...thank you so much for helping restore this marvelous interview...
This very remarkable woman has so much hurt, pain and justified anger inside of her. Her hysterical stories hide and expose deep unresolved feelings. She communicates all of these in her tender caress of the song she sings at the end of the interview. What a gem she was...and remains. 🌈
Compare Judy Garland in the Cavett interview in December 1968 to how she appeared in a Jack Paar show 6 years earlier and the difference is astonishing everything about her had gone so downhill except her singing voice the barbiturates and booze had taken their toll
Judy...you were only 4' 11" a little Doll but you were a giant of a human being She was very honest here saying show business is "hideous" and saying she was the queen of comebacks and she was tired of it. The most telling comment "I haven't had a good break in a loooong time" Barbituates killed her but the real killer was fame
@MissX W what are you so angry about? Do you love anyone in this world who has addiction problems? If you do or if you don't let me tell you, those particular individuals don't feel they are enough for this world 🌎🎶🌎 that is what is sad not that she was an entertainer not that she was Judy Garland is that🎶 she didn't feel worthy of anything so she continued to destroy and kill herself. I have read a lot and done a lot of research on addiction and known people who were addicts and are now dead I don't get it but it is a reality and it is not something to condemn or mock. We pray 🙏for those that are dealing with it presently and we pray for those who have passed away due to it. May you never have to see what addiction does to those that you love 💕
it's just how amazing she was with all this shite she was going through she was so made to entertain the audiences one of a kind R.I.P judy one you can actually say *a true hollywood superstar*
I like the way she switches instantly between one subject and another, great interview, I don't care if she was drunk or high or both, better than the shite that celebs pour out these days!
Judy was a real icon. She earned that! She had a private life (and like we all want for ourselves), she also deserved personal privacy. Judy was and is a national/world treasure. Her sweetness and passion we're pure, unpretentious and soulful. God bless and rest her soul. May she be singing and flying freely always. She's a true example of American excellence. Although she was obviously victimized by the heartless profiteering studios, they still couldn't break or stop her from shining because she was adored by her peers and globally and she absolutely still is !
Its a tragedy what those drugs did to her. She was so kind and sweet to Dick on this show, and her wit was still intact, and the voice never failed her. Such a shame.
I can barely stand to watch such a mega talented star like Judy Garland end up this way. If they just would not have given her those pills. She is one of my favorites and to know how special she was. Imagine what more great entertainment she could have done. It is such a tragedy.
While watching several of these interviews, I am struck by her wit and humor. I can tell a difference during weight changes. I think she was a thyroid disease sufferer. So wonderful to see these! I am 71. Doing the math, I was YOUNG then☺️
Cavett is so great. He was and is the best talk-show interviewer ever. The wittiest. Judy is either drunk or sedated. She is slurring her words. She is still funny. Say what you will, there is nobody like her alive today. She was show business itself, in its best and worst.
Wow! What a rarity, and for several reasons. First, for those who might complain about the black-and-white, fuzzy image, it's a miracle this image even exists. Secondly, Garland never lost her razor sharp wit. She is unbelievably funny here, and spars with the brilliant Cavette wonderfully. I remember when I was a child, my mom talked about this broadcast (it aired during the day, and I was in grammar school). She said that Garland looked terrible (her hair really is awful), but "sang beautifully." My mother also said Garland died about six months later (which is accurate). The interesting thing is that my mom said Lee Marvin was very rude to Cavett when he came out (this is removed here), but was very respectful of Judy. I don't get much from Cavette, and the blonde lady doesn't seem to know HOW to react. What a treat!
The video could be from a home reel to reel video tape recording. It is amazing for sure that it does exist. The era it is from was when most TV network video tapes were erased and reused.
@@frackstonwilson685 I agree this was recorded on someone's early home video recorder. Given the ghosting and rolling of the image, it's obvious it was recorded off the air.
What a shame that there aren't better copies of these shows, by this time most night time shows were certainly in color, you'd think SOMEONE in those stupid television studios would have had the foresight to preserve shows that Judy was on - especially considering her legion on Fans that still exist - and sure, you can see that she was not in tip-top shape at this time of her life, but that quick wit and that sparkling magnetic personality, that's still there. She didn't think of herself as the child of tragedy that others thought of her as - and yet, really, we all watched as she literally withered away in front of our eyes. Unfortunately, as her daughter Lorna has stated, "the only people who can save themselves ARE themselves" meaning others can't do it for you. By the way, although I wish there were better preserved prints of these TV appearances, I do appreciate seeing whatever we can, so thank you Kind poster -
I would see Judy around Boston while she lived here around 1968 before that final trip to London. She was never drunk , always dressed to the nines and very cordial. One time she was trying on hats at Lord & Taylor in Back Bay.
Thanks for sharing! I bet you have some great stories.....Judy and otherwise. I was born a year before Judy died, and am always distressed when people don't even know who she was, much less what a wonderfully talented human being she was. She should come back and take on Taylor Swift....like shooting fish in a barrel.
@@stevers62 forget taylor swift.. it would have been great if she was around judy, barbara Streisand and Shirley bassey together oh my days that would be some performance huh ✌✌
People who are commenting on Miss Garland's lack of sobriety are unwittingly revealing their abject ignorance. They must try to convince all that they are in the know.....lol.... Complete morons. To quote the scarecrow, ..."people without brains do an awful lot of talking..." God bless this wonderful lady -- unlike the rest of us, she will never be forgotten.
I don't know whether or not Frank Sinatra felt %100 about himself and Judy in the future as he said "she was better than all of us , nobody will forget Judy" I don't know if he was making a selfless remark on the spot but Judy was just different. She had a broad spectrum of appeal , she was amazing because she reached people and she reached out in The Wizard of Oz., Judy was childhood. She was innocence and purity incarnate and also nearly a victim in loosing Dorothy, so we worry for her and she is , a reflection of our fears and the youth shall never pass away, only we can keep it and learn from those who rob us of youth and inner beauty, and its and a house is anywhere you wake and can't imagine anyplace where you can go back to sleep....you gotta look for your love, overcoming fear, your're intuition and that will always lead your back within. "Home Sweet Home" .
It’s not evil to comment on reality… She was drunk and she had a drinking and drug problem… That is a fact… I’m sure it was difficult for her in her life to have all of that same and pressure… She still a wonderful person but they say she wasn’t struggling with alcohol and barbiturate is a lie
@@Rachmanfan4life Often, reading these boards, I get the feeling I'm the only one who is 100% pro-truth and the heck with made-up wishful thinking nonsense, and I'm glad you feel the same way. The people who say Judy isn't drunk and/or stoned here and she sounds just fine... they are either disingenuous or incredibly naive.
She was a God given talent !! She pours her heart out when she sings !! Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Bjork, and all the really great singers I'm quite shure payed attention to Judy garland on stage !!!!
She was as witty as Groucho Marx here...1["We'll be right back..." Her response: "Where are we going?" lol. Cavette was so good with his guests and he immediately picked up on the lines Judy was feeding him, perfect timing both of them, what a pair. it is hard to fathom that at around this point, Judy was broke, moving from hotel to hotel, unable to pay bills.
She's only 46 here and has probably less than a year left. I've adored her talent for almost my whole life and I was devastated when she died. I was lucky to have seen her in concert several times in NYC and they were unforgettable moments.
Yes, that was precious! She not only reversed the roles between her and Cavett but zeroed in to the “heart of the matter” in such a witty and comical way!
After watching ‘Judy’ I see such courage in her showing up at all - unable to provide a home for her children, sick and tired, hounded by the IRS - she could still call the ‘biz’ hideous with a wicked smile.
I recently watched a documentary about Judy Garland and I believe it was her daughter, Lorna Luft, who said that Judy had the sort of magnetism that made people around her feel instantly comfortable. No matter what, when a person was in her company, they felt "at home". That was her charm, I think. It's too bad that she left us all so early. She was born in 1922, the same year that my mother was born, only a couple of months later, I think. What a glorious soul. She is well missed. RIP, Judy, and thanks for the laughter and the smiles.
Loved the endearing, self-deprecating reference to the Civil War! Who couldn't be won over by that? However, I remember my mother commenting at this time that Judy Garland hadn't been looking well for years, thence not surprised by her death
Look..... My Parents saw her at Carnegie Hall in 1960 I was conceived that night at the Plaza Hotel My Mother and Father Thanks Judy as They were Told they were Unable to Have children
Thank You We must keep her Bright legacy Alive Still remember the Vinyl Albums of Judys on the Zenith Console Learning the Songs. As my Mother made dinner
That last song was so prophetic, " let me make only the smallest mistake , and i promise i will not ask for anything again" As it happened she did make the monumental mistake of overdosing on drugs soon after and there was no opportunity to ask for another chance
I am in my 60's and I watched many talk shows as a child. Michael Douglas, Merv Griffen and Dick Cavett (and late night with Tom Snyder)...these were all men who at least projected kindness, and cared about LISTENING to their guests. Jimmy Fallon who I have watched a few times (only BC of the guest on), draws attention to himself and doesnt let the guest complete a sentence. We have become a society of ADD...no patience, no time, wanting to hear our own voice rather than others.
preach that - i can't bear interviewers these days - female interviewers seem to be the absolute worst for it too - it seems the less intelligent the interviewer is the more they run their mouth. There's a fabulous quote by I think Abe Lincoln 'it is far better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt' - it's a wonder why they bother having guests on when they seem to insist on doing all the talking themselves, constantly interrupting and talking about themselves the entire time, asking halfwitted questions, repeatedly calling them by their entire name and trying to dig for gossip which is absolutely tasteless and shallow. I adore cavett he seems like such a kind classy guy as you say - guides guests a little but generally hands the spotlight to them, keeps them in it and lets them talk about whatever floats their boat. Interviewers today could learn a lot from the likes of him.
@@ImTash yes, sorry for the late reply. Have another account on my iphone and use that. today I'm on my PC-I love watching old talk show videos to remember a better time--the world is very depressing, all the social media stuff- self promoting, building up oneself to profit...
She had been through hell & back & could still gather her wits for such a publicity-driven interview & she nailed it! Someone else would've committed suicide ages ago! She's brave & strong despite her tiny physique. When God provided Europe with Edith Piaf, he provided the Americas with Judy Garland. But we did not hear all she could give! What a damn shame! Like Piaf, she sang from her soul. Those unique voices! Phrasings! They felt 10ft tall...like Angels!!!
Poor little Judy, so exploited throughout her life. Between her mother and the studios doping her up and agents ripping her off and husbands using her, she didn't stand a chance. A great talent who could sing and dance. She was also a great dramatic actress. Watch her cameo in Judgement at Nuremberg. Watch her heart breaking scene in A Star Is Born when talking about her husband Norman Maine drinking & ruining his life. Wow. The best one woman show ever. The full uncut version of ASIB. She was totally robbed of an Oscar. I love you Judy. While Dick Cavett had interesting people & entertainers on his show I always found him to be a smartass. His monologues were never funny although he thought they were. Full of himself. I did not find him intelligent either. It was the caliber of his guests that made the show.
She was a national/world treasure. Her sweetness and passion we're pure, unpretentious and soulful. She was victimized and misused. God bless and rest her soul. May she be singing and flying freely always. True American excellence
Such talent and humor, even in the face of apparent struggles. This makes you want to grab her up and save her from what would happen only a year later.
FINALLY!!! After all the great videos you've created with Judy and Boris Karloff, Judy and Liza chatting on the phone, etc.. I can SLIGHTLY repay. This is just a little software magic. Hope all is well with you. :-) Speaking of Judy and Dick Cavett, did you know he snuck into her dressing room when he was much younger? He talks about it on a podcast.
I do not know whether Judy Garland had been drinking or taking pills directly before this interview. But after all the years of pill popping and alcohol, one would expect to have slurred speech, slowed reaction, disorientation, etc..., and these symptoms would become the "norm". Definitely the personification of social imbalance, insecurity and substance abuse is revealed, but what a sense of humor and wit mixed with kindness and love. I often wonder what kind of life she would have had if she had just grown up regularly in Grand Rapids, MN. I would have wished her a good, long life rather than the one she chose.
This is great, thanks so much for posting and correcting the flutter. Out of interest does anyone know if the master tape exists or is this video the only copy?
Jon Vanner unfortunately, my understanding is this is it. Dick Cavett has lamented about most of his earlier shows being recorded over by the network because they were too cheap to buy new tapes. At some point too late, he found he could have bought them for $60 each. Really a shame. Same thing happened to most of the early Carson shows. Fortunately, there was some Judy fan behind the scenes that wrote Emmy consideration on her episodes to save them.
I was never a fan of Dick Cavett. This interview makes him look great because Judy is so damn funny! She was not meant to be the 1st guest Lee Marvin was running late so they threw her on in 4 seconds! That's why her hair is not done properly. She's the greatest talent the world has ever ever known. I don't believe we will ever have a talent like Garland. Love you Judy !
+stevers62 Unfortunately it's almost certain this is the only copy...ABC erased and reused the color 2 inch tapes of the Cavett morning show. As NBC did with the first 10 years of Carson's Tonight Show. Industry practice at the time ...videotape - you can use it over and over. This was made on an early 1/2 inch reel-to-reel black and white videotape recorder like these www.rewindmuseum.com/reeltoreelvideo.htm This machine could record broadcasts off the small TV with the single rabbit ear antenna, the sound and picture fluttering is multipath typical of reception in a city with tall buildings and airplanes using an indoor antenna. These flaws were simulated in the Mad Men episode about the JFK assassination. The networks did keep pristine master tapes of their coverage as they realized what a major historical event was happening, but Mad Men showed the reception as it would have been seen on a portable TV in a Manhattan tall office building
Recent biographers declare that Judy Garland was first fed drugs by her mother before the age of 10. Whether the mother did so out of ignorance or greed, no one can survive that onslaught. The fact that she had such a great career is due to her grit and enormous talent. This interview is hard to watch. But her artistry continues to enthrall new generations.
Honestly, she is incredibly sharp and funny here. Obviously not at her best vocally and that song she sang is instantly forgettable but she sounded better than expected! Everyone just loved her no matter the quality of her voice or anything else.

She’s brilliant! Bad hair and all! You cannot stop watching or listening to her! Brilliant!
She may have been falling apart at the seams but she still had that voice. One of the greatest singers of the 20th century.

Even though her voice was fading I agree she still mesmerizes better than anyone today
Arguably The Greatest Star of The 20th Century. A Bitter Sweet interview. A GLITTERING Career was achieved.
Wonderfully written
I love that this shows her humor and laughter....something completely overlooked in the new Judy movie.
True, just saw it. Good movie, but it's not quite her and plays with facts I've read about her life quite a bit...but still, it respects her.
Yes, I think celebrity intoxication sometimes make it very interesting to so many actresses and actors who do that I don't know about later decades.
@@hudsony777 myself I prefer the factual books on these people and it feels way more real . But I do know a lot of people prefer Hollywood movies ✌🏻
Judy had a wicked sense of humor
I hated the movie. Renne pouting like Bridget Jones the whole time
I love her she is my hero. I have had my own problems with substance abuse. I’m recently recovered.

She was very honest here saying show business is "hideous" and saying she was the queen of comebacks and she was tired of it.
The most telling comment "I haven't had a good break in a loooong time"
Barbituates killed her but the real killer was fame
She definitely wasn’t wrong. Entertainers sadly risk their whole careers to dispel the truth.
Yep entertainment killed her

She really speaks from the heart 💖 and wears that heart 💓 on her sleeve. A true legend!
It's always a great pleasure watching this MAGNIFICENT artist!
Wouldn't it be nice if we had singers again in the USA.
When she sings one instantly goes into hypnotism and time stops! Even toward the end of her life she is a masterclass of talent
What a gem. Judy had a wicked sense of humor.
I like the way she switches instantly between one subject and another, great interview, I don't care if she was drunk or high or both, better than the shite that celebs pour out these days!

@@markwhitman9029 Ida Kaminska, famous in Europe, not so much in US. You can wiki her.
What a shame that there aren't better copies of these shows, by this time most night time shows were certainly in color, you'd think SOMEONE in those stupid television studios would have had the foresight to preserve shows that Judy was on - especially considering her legion on Fans that still exist - and sure, you can see that she was not in tip-top shape at this time of her life, but that quick wit and that sparkling magnetic personality, that's still there. She didn't think of herself as the child of tragedy that others thought of her as - and yet, really, we all watched as she literally withered away in front of our eyes. Unfortunately, as her daughter Lorna has stated, "the only people who can save themselves ARE themselves" meaning others can't do it for you. By the way, although I wish there were better preserved prints of these TV appearances, I do appreciate seeing whatever we can, so thank you Kind poster -
Judy Garland we love you... till the end of time!
I would see Judy around Boston while she lived here around 1968 before that final trip to London. She was never drunk , always dressed to the nines and very cordial. One time she was trying on hats at Lord & Taylor in Back Bay.
Thanks for sharing! I bet you have some great stories.....Judy and otherwise. I was born a year before Judy died, and am always distressed when people don't even know who she was, much less what a wonderfully talented human being she was. She should come back and take on Taylor Swift....like shooting fish in a barrel.
Woe so lucky to see her. She had a stamina to keep on going! Bless her.
Perhaps you didn't have your specs on seeing her around I assure you judy was slightly smashed here ! For definite
@@stevers62 forget taylor swift.. it would have been great if she was around judy, barbara Streisand and Shirley bassey together oh my days that would be some performance huh ✌✌
. . . enduring humor. Legendary ONE of a kind -- for good reason. Thank You for posting this.
She was practically morphing into Edith Piaf here---as Edith was near the end. Thanks for posting this.
I'm sure it was like being caught in an elevator with a python, but Cavett handled it well. Judy was troubled, but God, was she entertaining!
People who are commenting on Miss Garland's lack of sobriety are unwittingly revealing their abject ignorance. They must try to convince all that they are in the know.....lol.... Complete morons. To quote the scarecrow, ..."people without brains do an awful lot of talking..." God bless this wonderful lady -- unlike the rest of us, she will never be forgotten.
Bravo!
I don't know whether or not Frank Sinatra felt %100 about himself and Judy in the future as he said "she was better than all of us , nobody will forget Judy" I don't know if he was making a selfless remark on the spot but Judy was just different. She had a broad spectrum of appeal , she was amazing because she reached people and she reached out in The Wizard of Oz., Judy was childhood. She was innocence and purity incarnate and also nearly a victim in loosing Dorothy, so we worry for her and she is , a reflection of our fears and the youth shall never pass away, only we can keep it and learn from those who rob us of youth and inner beauty, and its and a house is anywhere you wake and can't imagine anyplace where you can go back to sleep....you gotta look for your love, overcoming fear, your're intuition and that will always lead your back within. "Home Sweet Home" .
Thank you! You are correct she is still relevant nearly 53 years after her passing and won't be forgotten
It’s not evil to comment on reality… She was drunk and she had a drinking and drug problem… That is a fact… I’m sure it was difficult for her in her life to have all of that same and pressure… She still a wonderful person but they say she wasn’t struggling with alcohol and barbiturate is a lie
@@Rachmanfan4life Often, reading these boards, I get the feeling I'm the only one who is 100% pro-truth and the heck with made-up wishful thinking nonsense, and I'm glad you feel the same way. The people who say Judy isn't drunk and/or stoned here and she sounds just fine... they are either disingenuous or incredibly naive.
thank you so much for posting this!
Judy singing the song “God Bless Johnny” stays with one long after it’s over. It is so very moving.
No slur in the singing just beautiful
She was a God given talent !! She pours her heart out when she sings !! Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Bjork, and all the really great singers I'm quite shure payed attention to Judy garland on stage !!!!
She was as witty as Groucho Marx here...1["We'll be right back..." Her response: "Where are we going?" lol. Cavette was so good with his guests and he immediately picked up on the lines Judy was feeding him, perfect timing both of them, what a pair. it is hard to fathom that at around this point, Judy was broke, moving from hotel to hotel, unable to pay bills.
She's only 46 here and has probably less than a year left. I've adored her talent for almost my whole life and I was devastated when she died. I was lucky to have seen her in concert several times in NYC and they were unforgettable moments.
I Love when she asked DC how does it feel to be a legend?? Lol
Yes, that was precious! She not only reversed the roles between her and Cavett but zeroed in to the “heart of the matter” in such a witty and comical way!
A great comedian on top of everything else.
After watching ‘Judy’ I see such courage in her showing up at all - unable to provide a home for her children, sick and tired, hounded by the IRS - she could still call the ‘biz’ hideous with a wicked smile.
What a charming and graceful woman! Gotta marvel at how she maintained such a sweet persona through all her difficulties.
One of the best entertainers ever..
I love Judy. It's painful though. The writing on the wall. I wish she could have found peace. She gave it all to her fans. I true American treasure.
She's sloshed here BUT I think she was probably the nicest person I would ever have wanted to meet.
...and fun!
I recently watched a documentary about Judy Garland and I believe it was her daughter, Lorna Luft, who said that Judy had the sort of magnetism that made people around her feel instantly comfortable. No matter what, when a person was in her company, they felt "at home". That was her charm, I think. It's too bad that she left us all so early. She was born in 1922, the same year that my mother was born, only a couple of months later, I think. What a glorious soul. She is well missed. RIP, Judy, and thanks for the laughter and the smiles.
Wish this was in color . She had beautiful coloring. I love this. "Where are we going?". She's hilarious
I think she is the funniest person ever!
I wish I could just save her somehow. this is so sad
i know what you mean!
God Judy was the best. Greatest entertainer of the 20th century. 😘🤩🎶
She was the BEST!
Judy was the greatest. I love her and admire her.
Out of all the very witty things she says, I think my favorite is "even YOU'RE too young" to the actress to her right.
my favourite is 'where are we going? i just got on!'
I basically think she’s just worn out.
Still brilliant. I wish she had gotten help. She deserved so much better. There will never be another like her.
Loved the endearing, self-deprecating reference to the Civil War! Who couldn't be won over by that? However, I remember my mother commenting at this time that Judy Garland hadn't been looking well for years, thence not surprised by her death
Sweet and hilarious woman.
D@mn,she is high as a kite!!At least she had a wonderful sense of humor!! Thanks so much for the upload!!!😁
Look..... My Parents saw her at Carnegie Hall in 1960 I was conceived that night at the Plaza Hotel My Mother and Father Thanks Judy as They were Told they were Unable to Have children
Carnegie Hall was '61. Just sayin'.
You are correct thank You
@@scottbridgeforth507 Well, at least you got here!
Thank You We must keep her Bright legacy Alive Still remember the Vinyl Albums of Judys on the Zenith Console Learning the Songs. As my Mother made dinner
That last song was so prophetic, " let me make only the smallest mistake , and i promise i will not ask for anything again"
As it happened she did make the monumental mistake of overdosing on drugs soon after and there was no opportunity to ask for another chance
I am in my 60's and I watched many talk shows as a child. Michael Douglas, Merv Griffen and Dick Cavett (and late night with Tom Snyder)...these were all men who at least projected kindness, and cared about LISTENING to their guests. Jimmy Fallon who I have watched a few times (only BC of the guest on), draws attention to himself and doesnt let the guest complete a sentence.
We have become a society of ADD...no patience, no time, wanting to hear our own voice rather than others.
preach that - i can't bear interviewers these days - female interviewers seem to be the absolute worst for it too - it seems the less intelligent the interviewer is the more they run their mouth. There's a fabulous quote by I think Abe Lincoln 'it is far better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt' - it's a wonder why they bother having guests on when they seem to insist on doing all the talking themselves, constantly interrupting and talking about themselves the entire time, asking halfwitted questions, repeatedly calling them by their entire name and trying to dig for gossip which is absolutely tasteless and shallow. I adore cavett he seems like such a kind classy guy as you say - guides guests a little but generally hands the spotlight to them, keeps them in it and lets them talk about whatever floats their boat. Interviewers today could learn a lot from the likes of him.
@@ImTash yes, sorry for the late reply. Have another account on my iphone and use that. today I'm on my PC-I love watching old talk show videos to remember a better time--the world is very depressing, all the social media stuff- self promoting, building up oneself to profit...
She is just so wonderful!
She was quick and clever during her interviews despite all the drugs she was taking.
This is one of her best interviews
This copy of the show plays better then other copies I can still easily hear her voice due to less audio distortion towards the end 🤓
She had been through hell & back & could still gather her wits for such a publicity-driven interview & she nailed it! Someone else would've committed suicide ages ago! She's brave & strong despite her tiny physique.
When God provided Europe with Edith Piaf, he provided the Americas with Judy Garland. But we did not hear all she could give! What a damn shame! Like Piaf, she sang from her soul. Those unique voices! Phrasings! They felt 10ft tall...like Angels!!!
Could she be any more lovable?
Poor little Judy, so exploited throughout her life. Between her mother and the studios doping her up and agents ripping her off and husbands using her, she didn't stand a chance. A great talent who could sing and dance. She was also a great dramatic actress. Watch her cameo in Judgement at Nuremberg. Watch her heart breaking scene in A Star Is Born when talking about her husband Norman Maine drinking & ruining his life. Wow. The best one woman show ever. The full uncut version of ASIB. She was totally robbed of an Oscar. I love you Judy. While Dick Cavett had interesting people & entertainers on his show I always found him to be a smartass. His monologues were never funny although he thought they were. Full of himself. I did not find him intelligent either. It was the caliber of his guests that made the show.
Marvelous.
She was a national/world treasure. Her sweetness and passion we're pure, unpretentious and soulful. She was victimized and misused. God bless and rest her soul. May she be singing and flying freely always. True American excellence
Judy is very with it here.
She had IT no matter what. RIP Judy. We love you. ☮️💟
this video was much better..thank you Stevens62.
this is so devestating and heartbreaking judy garland was so unwell
Amazing
Such talent and humor, even in the face of apparent struggles. This makes you want to grab her up and save her from what would happen only a year later.
Why am I just now seeing this! Much better that I've seen before! Thanks! :)
FINALLY!!! After all the great videos you've created with Judy and Boris Karloff, Judy and Liza chatting on the phone, etc.. I can SLIGHTLY repay. This is just a little software magic. Hope all is well with you. :-)
Speaking of Judy and Dick Cavett, did you know he snuck into her dressing room when he was much younger? He talks about it on a podcast.
Thank you very much. I'm doing well, thanks for asking! :)
Lol what she says about Bob Hope!! How true he goes to do a show and then there is a war!! And he would jealous of Dick!! She was a gem!!
I dont know why people say she was under the influence here ,each sentence of hers was factual and entertaining
Even stoned she outwitted everyone. No disrespect meant. She was sick. Love Judy.
I do not know whether Judy Garland had been drinking or taking pills directly before this interview. But after all the years of pill popping and alcohol, one would expect to have slurred speech, slowed reaction, disorientation, etc..., and these symptoms would become the "norm". Definitely the personification of social imbalance, insecurity and substance abuse is revealed, but what a sense of humor and wit mixed with kindness and love. I often wonder what kind of life she would have had if she had just grown up regularly in Grand Rapids, MN. I would have wished her a good, long life rather than the one she chose.
She was 46 here but looks more like 66. But I still loved her talent!
Poor Judy 😢 she did not deserve what she went through!
This is great, thanks so much for posting and correcting the flutter. Out of interest does anyone know if the master tape exists or is this video the only copy?
Jon Vanner unfortunately, my understanding is this is it. Dick Cavett has lamented about most of his earlier shows being recorded over by the network because they were too cheap to buy new tapes. At some point too late, he found he could have bought them for $60 each. Really a shame. Same thing happened to most of the early Carson shows. Fortunately, there was some Judy fan behind the scenes that wrote Emmy consideration on her episodes to save them.
I was never a fan of Dick Cavett.
This interview makes him look great because Judy is so damn funny!
She was not meant to be the 1st guest Lee Marvin was running late so they threw her on in 4 seconds!
That's why her hair is not done properly.
She's the greatest talent the world has ever ever known.
I don't believe we will ever have a talent like Garland.
Love you Judy !
She was a star, a huge one, but she was obviously walking on chemistry; why denying it?
Happily, she wasn't full of herself.
lol holy shit this interview
She may be toasted but as always adorable and so witty...really witty...wish we could find a better copy of this interview...must be out there?
+Keith Nieto YES!!! Fingers crossed on a better copy somewhere. She was so fun and talented!!!
+stevers62 Unfortunately it's almost certain this is the only copy...ABC erased and reused the color 2 inch tapes of the Cavett morning show. As NBC did with the first 10 years of Carson's Tonight Show. Industry practice at the time ...videotape - you can use it over and over. This was made on an early 1/2 inch reel-to-reel black and white videotape recorder like these www.rewindmuseum.com/reeltoreelvideo.htm This machine could record broadcasts off the small TV with the single rabbit ear antenna, the sound and picture fluttering is multipath typical of reception in a city with tall buildings and airplanes using an indoor antenna. These flaws were simulated in the Mad Men episode about the JFK assassination. The networks did keep pristine master tapes of their coverage as they realized what a major historical event was happening, but Mad Men showed the reception as it would have been seen on a portable TV in a Manhattan tall office building
She was hysterical
Technically she was gone about 6 months later. victim of the big Hollywood machine, as were so many women of this vintage.
Recent biographers declare that Judy Garland was first fed drugs by her mother before the age of 10. Whether the mother did so out of ignorance or greed, no one can survive that onslaught. The fact that she had such a great career is due to her grit and enormous talent. This interview is hard to watch. But her artistry continues to enthrall new generations.
Her mother basically pimped her out. Old news.
Our greatest star
She's delightful
She was also funny!!!
Honestly, she is incredibly sharp and funny here. Obviously not at her best vocally and that song she sang is instantly forgettable but she sounded better than expected! Everyone just loved her no matter the quality of her voice or anything else.
