Biography

Edit

Judy Garland's career was one of contrasts; her best-loved songs -- bold and blissful -- were underlined with fragility and melancholy, and for each of her moments in the spotlight, her life had a dark spot. Still, for many fans of pop vocals, as well as drag queens everywhere, Garland defines the essence of the movie musical. Her bright vocals are soaring, indelible reminders of this screen legend's infectious power.

She was born into a theatrical family, appearing at her father’s theatre while less than three years old. By the time she was 13 she had signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, although, in an era of busty screen sirens and cute-as-a-button child stars, she evaded the stereotype which would have made her easy to place. The constant measurement against an ideal which she could never match led to a life-long insecurity which she failed to overcome. Nonetheless she went on to star in a series of musical films which established a repertoire of incredibly popular songs whose appeal has endured beyond her short life
