I think a lot of us want to but unfortunately it doesn't work like that however I like to think that Judy can see how many of us love her now and all the fantastic work she left behind
The fact that Judy didn't win the Oscar for her performance in A Star Is Born, was and is still the Greatest Blunder in Academy Award History !! Screw the Academy for their failue to see her Greatness in that movie...What a natural Actor and highly underrated ...RIP Judy..xo
I deep down believe she got enough votes. I believe either the big shots who ran the Academy didn't want her to win, or Metro didn't want her to win, and made sure she didn't. All the people today keep saying she was hosed and hardly any, if of them, if sny of them, ever saw the un-butchered version. I can only imagine what they would think and say if they could see the unslaughtered version. What W.B. did to Judy's dream is totally unconscionable. I don't know what the Academy should do, but, they should do something. More and more and more people comment about the Rip-off every year. Judy's fans will never let it rest.
This was really interesting, I've only heard bits and pieces of this interview before. Judy sounds alert and coherent here, and in good spirits....I think she really loved Mickey Deans. Her speaking voice sounds a little raspy, far more mature than one would expect a relatively young woman of 46 to sound - but this was a nice treat for me to see--and I thought I had heard and seen everything on Judy - THANK YOU for posting!
I had such a crush on Judy when I was a kid ..I was 8 years old when she starred in the Wizard of OZ and I remember snipping out a clipping of her and carried it around in my pocket till my mother found it befor she did the laundry ..such a long time ago ..wish I still had it.
She was troubled because of the people around her and bad influences that just wanted to benefit from Mrs. Garland's career. But despite it all, you were strong, talented and one of the true talents in the business. We love you and your beautiful voice... always.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Rest in peace Judy Garland. You're over the rainbow and at peace wherever you are. No pain (physical and emotional). No lonliness.
Judy was always my favorite singer: I say she was definitelly the greatest singer who ever lived! I know when I get to Heaven, she will be there, and I shall sing with her.
Its like listening in on a private chat. Here, as in every song and film, she seems incapable of faking anything, and that I think is what makes her still the greatest. I wasnt around when Judy was alive, but I remember the first time I saw her on tv, and there was something instant, like electricity, that connected- how she spoke, the tone of her voice, her facial expressions, the way she moved, and an authenticity and compassion that heightened her beauty which I couldnt put into words then.
Poor Judy Garland, my favourite hollywood golden age icon, she was so talented, r.i.p. By the way these comments making fun of her death are horrible, please take them down.
No doubt "Judy" was one of the greatest stars of the 20th century....always one of my favorites....she just never saw herself as the beautiful person that "we" (her thousands of fans did) she was looking for someone to love her unconditionally, and protect her....thus she was always chasing, " Rainbows", but after all isn't that what most of us do when we are searching for true love..."RIP", Judy you had one of the most fantastic and beautiful voices ever created.
the photos are beautiful and the interview is just great. Our darling Judy sounds happy and...... just great! thankyou for this great video. Also, sad but lovely to see Judys very first home in Grand Rapids right at the start..... i wonder what would have happened if she had remained there.... i wonder what Judy would have thought about this.... many said it was a pity about Frank and his "problem".... well, i guess we'll just never know.
I've followed Judy for many years and understand what you said about Mickey Deans' reputation. And you have stated my own view of their relationship perfectly. Maybe there are facts that I'm unaware of that would change my opinion. But I've yet to come across any. Thank you for posting this wonderful interview.
Finally an interview that shows Judy as a warm , smart,sweet, and funny human being! I wish i had been able to see her live in concert,i was just 4 when she left us. Thanks for this post!
very revealing that when he asked her 'do you think you've had a rich life' he intended to get her talking about Hollywood and all the stars she worked with or her experiences at her amazing live concerts And she jusy flatly and without thinking said 'no' this is followed by a rather shocked silence
I think this interview is wonderful. Yes, Judy does sound slightly tired and worn out, but I don't think her voice sounds very different from when she was in 'A Star Is Born'. Obviously we know she looked very ill and fragile, but I'd don't believe that her voice sounds extremely frail. I believe she was truly happy in this interview, she's got a wonderful sense of humor - I was laughing while listening - she keeps referring to Mickey Deans, she is newly married and believes she's in love.
@@Gigiroo ..I had a crush on her when I was 8 years old ..I had seen her in the wizard of oz when it first came out and carried a clipping of her around in my pocket ..I wasn't aware at the time of the hell she was going thru ..it makes me sad knowing now what she went thru ..and mad!!
Doug A. Same. Agreed. I can’t seem to stop watching her videos. I’ve always loved her but for some reason I just can’t stop watching everything I can about her. I had no idea how sad her life was...Bless her sweet heart....
Yes, Liza Minnelli said she thought her mother's IQ was in the 150s. She had great eidetic memory (memorizing something from looking at it once) and she was very quick.
@grai Her daughter Liza thought it might be in the 150s. When Judy did her stage show at the Palace in NYC, she would play a game with the other performers backstage while they killed some time. She'd give each of them a sheet of ruled paper and have them divide the paper into 4 by 6 columns - about 24 boxes - and have them write in a series of random numbers & letters. Then she'd take each paper, look it over, & recite it by memory - perfectly.
Now the world’s even worse Judy. It’s cold and lonely at the top and bottom. Regardless of your work, you always came across as a caring person. I pray you’re experiencing all the love and closeness possible. Rip
I have to stand in the middle about Mickey Deans. At heart, I'm a peacemaker. ... Some words over the years have been unflattering ... & I give the respect that should be given for those expressions - perhaps there are reasons. However, not many people have stood up to give this LOVE between Mickey & Judy a voice. Who am I to judge? Judy says she loves, Mickey says he loves ... What more is there to understand? That's the respect I give to both of them.
the saddest thing about judy garland that makes me cry was her death. she woke up in the middle of the night to take more of those pills and fell on the bathroom floor dead. her husband didn't discover her dead body until moring.
paprika her heart stopped while sitting on the toilet. She took that “one pill too many” and her lungs filled with fluid causing respiratory distress and her organs stopped working. She was dead for hours before he found her. 😪. Google her autopsy report. It’s VERY interesting and accurate.
Judy always spoke in absolutes during the 'honeymoon' period of a relationship/marriage. Her commitment was always total, complete. She had an 'inability' to hold anything back. This was true in her work & love. Do I think her life had no meanig before Mickey? NO Do I think they loved each other? YES Do I think they both knew she was dieing? YES Will I assess his motives? NO For me, the only thing about Judy that is well documented is what she said, in her own eloquent words.
I agree Even if she hadnt been the greatest singer of the 20th Century she could have made it as an actress quite easily comedy tragedy drama longing she could do the lot her dramatic range was amazing still being such a great talent its very wrong that the Academy never got their act together to acknowledge her genius but how long can we stay mad for! I like to think the fact that people flocked to her concerts and made her break box office records all her life made up for it
@MicheleBell1 Yes, probably true. It seems she was good at deflecting the gossipy inquiry as I believe she did in the Johnny Carson interview too. Thank you for these treasures, MicheleBelle1.
This is an interesting perspective on a possible direction the interviewer intended ... It could very well be the reason Judy answered the way she did. It was not in her nature to follow that lead. Thank you for the astute observation.
Pretty much all the stars were given uppers and downers in those days; nobody saw any harm in them. I know that my mother used to take uppers and was annoyed when they were banned because of 'silly people misusing them'. I think JG had an addictive personality but, from old home movies I have seen of JG, she seemed to have had a life which was light and shade, the same as all of us. She looked happy and healthy in the home movies but bitter and sad in an audio recording she made when she had obviously had a lot of pills. Apparently Sid Luft tried to help but he was told to f**k off. Nobody can help an addict unless they WANT to be helped and sadly JG did not see the need.
The clip is from 'The Clock'. It's a great movie ... not a musical. Outside her normal genre. It's wonderful to see her in this kind of role. Thanks for watching.
@grai I find it odd that no one comments to the fact that this was a severely depressed, drug/alcohol/nicotine addicted woman who was abused and taken advantage of for her entire life, by her parents and the hollywood machine. What a total shame.
Ralph Emerson I have even wondered over the years if she maybe had undiagnosed borderline personality disorder. I don’t know how her life was, but that can go along with depression and can manifest in young adults that were abused from childhood on.
but the difference is that back then the studio drugged these kids to keep them up and get them to sleep on a schedule. A little bit different then the stars of today I think.
@xander7ful also there are stories that the dancers used to rehearse for weeks for the MGM musicals and she would come in and be shown the routine once and perform it prefectly for the cameras bet the dancers hated her!
I think it was common to be too intense at interview in these times. Too personal intentionally, journalist interviewer's thinking they had Freudian instinct. The woman was a mother and craved the joy of it. Nobody could give her what she desired time, with her children. Only 47. A Great and Deserving woman, who deserved that everyone else saw her in the lives of her grandchildren.
Nice that someone else knows this too, It has been documented that he was definitely a supplier as well as any other position he filled for her in her life. Sigh, Beautiful talent, but self destructive as well as abused. Thank you for saying this, and it wasn't love that she fell into.
Carly Cecero Unfortunately, at this point in her life, Judy was always high; I don’t think she could have functioned at all without Ritalin and Seconal.
That is a great observation. Do you think she was looking for the dream of perfect happiness? No wonder her life was shattered over and over again. She had high expectations for flawed human beings. She really needed that childhood she had been denied.
She actually wasn’t much of a drinker. At this point, her body was just giving up on her due to all the years of pills, so that’s probably what it was.
This interview breaks my heart. You can hear the sadness in her voice. I wish I could go back in time and be the friend she so desperately needed 😭
I think a lot of us want to but unfortunately it doesn't work like that however I like to think that Judy can see how many of us love her now and all the fantastic work she left behind
Every man..used her for What they could get. Only her children were truly there with love.
The fact that Judy didn't win the Oscar for her performance in A Star Is Born, was and is still the Greatest Blunder in Academy Award History !! Screw the Academy for their failue to see her Greatness in that movie...What a natural Actor and highly underrated ...RIP Judy..xo

Very honest and true I'd say see was,One of the BEST stars of the past,SHE COULD DO IT ALL!! RIP JUDY🙏
the greatest singer of the 20th century
How sad. She was dying by the time she made this interview. The first wicked witch was her mother! Then the studio.
This was really interesting, I've only heard bits and pieces of this interview before. Judy sounds alert and coherent here, and in good spirits....I think she really loved Mickey Deans.

Rest in peace Judy Garland. You're over the rainbow and at peace wherever you are. No pain (physical and emotional). No lonliness.
Judy Garland had a great sense of humor. Rest in peace Judy Garland.
Judy was always my favorite singer: I say she was definitelly the greatest singer who ever lived! I know when I get to Heaven, she will be there, and I shall sing with her.
You describe Judy perfectly ... this is the Judy the world needs to know about. Thanks for seeing her for who she really was.
i love this! hearing judy talk makes her so real!!! thanks for posting this!! :)

Judy Garlands' life was hard. She was pushed from every direction. She was a consummate performer in every sense of the word .
i wish i could go back in time and see her perform live. she would have been magnificent, and she was always so respectful to her audiences
I could just hear her speak all the time if I could. I wish there was more footage of her being interviewed.
Derrick Dobson I always believed that Judy's speech in certain interview were 'meant' to sound like this. It was part of her 'act'. Get it? Ha Ha Ha
Adorable photos of Judy as a young girl
Poor Judy Garland, my favourite hollywood golden age icon, she was so talented, r.i.p. By the way these comments making fun of her death are horrible, please take them down.
i love this interview judy was such a beautiful person inside and out! i wish she was still here
No doubt "Judy" was one of the greatest stars of the 20th century....always one of my favorites....she just never saw herself as the beautiful person that "we" (her thousands of fans did) she was looking for someone to love her unconditionally, and protect her....thus she was always chasing, " Rainbows", but after all isn't that what most of us do when we are searching for true love..."RIP", Judy you had one of the most fantastic and beautiful voices ever created.
Thousands of fans. You make it sound like a concert audience. It's 100's of millions. Her popularity was World wide.
the photos are beautiful and the interview is just great. Our darling Judy sounds happy and...... just great! thankyou for this great video.
Also, sad but lovely to see Judys very first home in Grand Rapids right at the start..... i wonder what would have happened if she had remained there.... i wonder what Judy would have thought about this.... many said it was a pity about Frank and his "problem".... well, i guess we'll just never know.

With all due respect, I don't think she sounds like she did in A.S.I.B. Her voice wasn't raspy like it is here.
She sounds good just exhausted
I enjoyed this immensely.
-------Ellen
wow this was fantastic !!!! , her final interview... thanks for posting
It is always a great pleasure to honor this Great Lady.
Thank you.
The Clock has some of my favorite scenes! Vincent Minnelli had a way of bringing out the best of Judy on film.
She sounds 80 years old 😭 Damn those pills
..and damn the ones who drove her to take the pills! ..poor darlin' ..she deserved so much better than she got!
Doug A. Damn right she did!
Doug A. What made you decide to watch this video? Just out of curiosity…
@@Gigiroo ..I had a crush on her when I was 8 years old ..I had seen her in the wizard of oz when it first came out and carried a clipping of her around in my pocket ..I wasn't aware at the time of the hell she was going thru ..it makes me sad knowing now what she went thru ..and mad!!

I bet they’ll still be showing it “150 years” later.
Judy was such a beautiful talent. I feel she was looking for a knight in shining armor, sad she didnt realize she had the strength within! RIP Judy
I used to sound like this when I took sleeping pills. Well, I didn't have Judy's extraordinary talents.
Yes, Liza Minnelli said she thought her mother's IQ was in the 150s. She had great eidetic memory (memorizing something from looking at it once) and she was very quick.

First I’ve heard this story. She was so brilliant. 💙
John Meyer was responsible for putting her back on top. Not Mickey Deans
i don't know why but this interview made me sad for her
Love her comment about her "comebacks" --- "I've never been away!"
Now the world’s even worse Judy. It’s cold and lonely at the top and bottom. Regardless of your work, you always came across as a caring person. I pray you’re experiencing all the love and closeness possible. Rip

That's the respect I give to both of them.
This is so sad 😭 poor Judy
It’s just heartbreaking to think that only a few months before her death that she finally was able to feel truly happy
I love Judy. Such an actress. "Not until I met Mickey" "Judy Garland Deans please." Who hyphenates their stage name?!! 😂
the saddest thing about judy garland that makes me cry was her death. she woke up in the middle of the night to take more of those pills and fell on the bathroom floor dead. her husband didn't discover her dead body until moring.
mousekateer627 Oh wow. Where did you find this? I knew she died and how but I didn't know about this.... RIP Judy...
mousekateer627 Actually, poor Judy died slumped over on the toilet; that’s where Deans found her, hours later.

She sounds fine here. Some ppl who've given interviews about her during this time in her life made it sound like she couldn't put two words together.
judy spoke so eloquently despite her troubles she came across as polight kind and articulate!
Wow ...what a painfull interview coming from a woman i once loved ,as a kid .
What an incredible talent, and what a sad story her life was.
You can hear the barbiturate slur but still maintaining a sense of humor
@grai
I find it odd that no one comments to the fact that this was a severely depressed, drug/alcohol/nicotine addicted woman who was abused and taken advantage of for her entire life, by her parents and the hollywood machine.

these are marvolis pictures very nice
@xander7ful also there are stories that the dancers used to rehearse for weeks for the MGM musicals and she would come in and be shown the routine once and perform it prefectly for the cameras
bet the dancers hated her!
I wish she was still alive and was born in the 2000s and wizard of oz came out in the 2000s so I could meet her.☹️
I know she's from Minnesota, but I hear an accent in her voice. What accent would it be? It sounds like New York to me.
I was wondering the same thing, maybe it's that Transatlantic or Mid-Atlantic accent all the old movie stars used to have?
No she doesn't Hav that
She is, but her family moved to California when she was a child. Her accent is probably a mixture of New York and London
I think it was common to be too intense at interview in these times. Too personal intentionally, journalist interviewer's thinking they had Freudian instinct. The woman was a mother and craved the joy of it. Nobody could give her what she desired time, with her children.
Only 47.
A Great and Deserving woman, who deserved that everyone else saw her in the lives of her grandchildren.
Any idea when this was recorded?
☺❤
Judy fell in love with Mickey because he hooked her up with "uppers".
Nice that someone else knows this too, It has been documented that he was definitely a supplier as well as any other position he filled for her in her life. Sigh, Beautiful talent, but self destructive as well as abused. Thank you for saying this, and it wasn't love that she fell into.
What country are they in? Denmark?
Sadly I see Britney in her!
2006 papers i want it. 14. Homemade. I want it....
She was still lying to herself-she was broke, did not own a home, voice was shot, bad health and married to another user.
I love judy garland very much! But is she high? I don't mean that in a bad way
Carly Cecero Unfortunately, at this point in her life, Judy was always high; I don’t think she could have functioned at all without Ritalin and Seconal.
Judy’s mother Ethel got her started on drugs.
That is a great observation. Do you think she was looking for the dream of perfect happiness? No wonder her life was shattered over and over again. She had high expectations for flawed human beings. She really needed that childhood she had been denied.
