A workhorse entertainer before she was 20, Judy Garland
made as formidable a film as The Wizard of Oz her very own (and
to think the producers had wanted Shirley Temple!). Owner of a
breathtaking voice even as a child, Judy
Garland shone in a raft of musicals, first starring opposite
Mickey Rooney in a series of wildly popular films for MGM, and
then becoming a true star on stage and film--despite mounting
off-screen problems often reflected in her on-screen roles. In
her later years, the most poignant part of her live performances
was her ever-more-anguished rendition of "Over the Rainbow."
