Judy Garland was an American actress, singer and vaudevillian. Described by Fred Astaire as "the greatest entertainer who ever lived" and renowned for her unique vocals, she attained international stardom, which continued throughout a career that spanned more than 40 years - as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist and on the concert stage. Respected for her versatility, she received a Juvenile Academy Award and won a Golden Globe Award as well as Grammy Awards and a Special Tony Award.
She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the remake of A Star Is Born and for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the 1961 film Judgment at Nuremberg. She remains the youngest recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the motion picture industry.
After appearing in vaudeville with her two older sisters, Garland was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. There, she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney, and the 1939 film with which she would be most identified, The Wizard of Oz.
I was born at the age of twelve on an MGM lot.
aging
If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely?
being alone
I've seen the ticket, and I still can't believe it. When I see the money, I hope I don't hit the floor.
hope & money
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
love
In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.
love
We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.
death, dreams, imagination & time
I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.
