For the record, Judy Davis was horrified at having to play the Meet Me In St Louis number, knowing that her more world weary version of Garland did not at all match the classic chipper Garland of that film that became such an iconic image. To her credit, Judy Davis expressed dismay that Tammy Blanchard was not given the chance to play out Garland's life during the St Louis era, allowing her to pick up the role from Liza's infancy. The producers are to blame for a creative misfire, NOT Ms Davis.

As great as Judy Davis is in this, it was Tammy Blanchard playing young Judy Garland that totally blew me away. During her interview here, I still couldn't stop being amazed at how much she looks like Judy Garland, on top of how perfectly she got Garland's voice and mannerisms in the movie.

I think they switched over to Judy David too soon in the movie ... Tammy should have played Garland up through the making of Meet Me in St. Louis, including the Trolley Song recreation ... Davis was great overall! But looked way too old to be Judy in Meet Me in St. Louis, in my opinion.

I mean by that, that Tammy should play young judy again, so we can see what happened after Girl Crazy and that horrible man Busby Berkeley the dumb ass director bully! Then see what happened & get a more of an insight of her being fired from MGM by Louis. My personal script: Scene moves into Judy/Tammy in hospital after filming first week of Girl Crazy 1943, then when she gets out, she is asked into Mr Meyers Office and is told she has 3 days to recover then she's back on the lot for filming Meet Me in Louis and Meets Vincente Minelli (not the Hugh Laurie version) I'd say Darren Criss?? then goes on to do extra scenes with Summer Stock. Mmm thats a thought...they never covered Sumner Stock in Me & My Shadow movie 2001!! 🤔🤔

Too bad this wasn't a feature film. Lorna should've insisted, like Loretta Lynn. They originally wanted to film her autobiography as a TV mini-series, but she put her foot down and pretty much told them, "Theatrical release or no movie at all." Good thing, too, 'cause we might've missed out on Sissy Spacek's Oscar-winning portrayal in COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER. I have a theory that had this been a major motion picture, Davis would've been nominated for and likely have won the Oscar.

As much as I hate to disagree with Meryl Streep, this was Tammy Blanchard's movie. When Judy Davis arrived, the energy and believability of the film took a precipitous drop, you could feel it instantly. As great as an actor as Davis is, and her spot-on lip syncing delivery, Tammy was SPECTACULAR in this movie... her profile, her passion, her persona was simply mind blowing. In some shots, she looked and moved so much like Garland that it took my breath away. I only wonder what would have happened if they let Blanchard take the movie all the way, from youth to adulthood.
