Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, Garland attained international stardom 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, won a Golden Globe Award, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her work in films, as well as Grammy Awards and a Special Tony Award. She had a contralto singing range.
After appearing in Vaudeville theater with her sisters, Judy was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. There she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney, and the film with which she would be most identified, "The Wizard of Oz" (1939). After 15 years, Judy was released from the studio but gained renewed success through record-breaking concert appearances, including a critically acclaimed Carnegie Hall concert, a well-regarded but short-lived television series, and a return to film acting beginning with "A Star Is Born" (1954).
Despite her professional triumphs, Judy battled personal problems throughout her life. Insecure about her appearance, her feelings were compounded by film executives who told her she was unattractive and overweight. Plied with drugs to control her weight and increase her productivity, Garland endured a decades-long struggle with addiction. Garland was plagued by financial instability, often owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes, and her first four of five marriages ended in divorce. She attempted suicide on a number of occasions. Garland died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 47, leaving children Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft, and Joey Luft.
Legacy
Judy Garland's legacy as a performer and a personality has endured long after her death. The American Film Institute named Garland eighth among the "Greatest Female Stars of All Time". She has been the subject of over two dozen biographies since her death, including the well-received "Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir" by her daughter, Lorna Luft. Luft's memoir was later adapted into the multiple award-winning television mini-series, "Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows", which won Emmy Awards for two actresses portraying Garland (Tammy Blanchard and Judy Davis).
Garland was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. These include "Over the Rainbow," which was ranked as the number one movie song of all time in the American Film Institute's "100 Years...100 Songs" list. Four more Garland songs are featured on the list: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (#76), "Get Happy" (#61), "The Trolley Song" (#26), and "The Man That Got Away" (#11).
Judy Garland has twice been honored on U.S. postage stamps, in 1989 (as Dorothy) and again in 2006 (as Vicki Lester from A Star Is Born).

@Herman Munster Man, all we have to go on are her behavioral habits and personality traits.
Many times it has be recorded that Francis had a difficult time adjusting to the life MGM had given her and the mindset her mother put her in from early childhood. Not to mention having to miss the passing of her father because the studio wouldn't let her rush to see him during a live performance. She was treated horribly and never got her reward for all of her backbreaking work.
She aged rapidly from the diet and anti- hypertension pills she was put on from before she was an adult.
She wanted to be adored by someone unconditionally.
She married a handful of gay men, as her father was gay, trying to get back the father and father figure she lost so young.
What was going through her mind was: I'm starving, I'm fat, I'm not beautiful enough, I'm someone's property, all I want is to be loved for being who I am.
Her radical actions towards the end of her life point to get depression and not minding her own self destruction to stop the suffering.
She didn't much mind how she was adored by her fans, although she can be seen on film thanking them for getting her where she was, and if she meant that is anyone's guess.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what was going through the poor woman's head. She attempted to slit her own throat, jump off of a building. She was mad. And that wasn't her own fault.
@markofcain2761
Her voice. My God. No words can describe its breathtaking beauty.
@tommyvittetoe3408
So true!!!
@paullewis2413
Putting opera aside as it's a completely different art, Judy was simply the greatest female singer of the 20th century, no contest. Needless to say I can't listen to anyone else with this song they simply can't compete.
@lhbfiness1251
@Paul Lewis This song and "Over The Raimbow."
@windstorm1000
She was one of kind
@foxteen8721
If only she had a happier ending. :'(
@BloodylocksBathory
Nowadays we all know and hear the more optimistic versions of this song, but I think it misses out of the real beauty of how sad (but hopeful) the original song is. Judy's performance is making me tear up now as I'm writing, lol.
@AlexMR
BloodylocksBathory well said, this version captures how I feel each year
@johncullers
BloodylocksBathory it breaks my heart
@charlesveg
It is so poignant and so beautiful. It was written for the home front during the war, and is heart-breaking.
