So very true !

Me too

She Was The Greatest

Lorna has her Mother’s heart.

Even if Judy didn't sing, when she talk, she had great stage presence and charisma.

Anyone who loved Judy and who respects others of talent!

Oh shut up! Who cares how many are watching! So dumb. Any silly stunt to get likes and replies. You poor pathetic thing

@@marciabrady2862 I agree. In fact I read that idiotic comment & thought to say just what you said. But you did it already. And the fools click like on the idiotic comment. Sheep.

Marcia Brady How jaded and bitter of a person you must be? This was an innocent comment and your ignorance has to make it something bigger! I’m gonna give you some free advice, GET A F**KIN LIFE!!!!

@@DAVEJJR These type of comments are merely people desperate for likes. It's so stupid. Now I'm gonna give you a little advice: KISS MY ASS!

Break a leg!

@erinmacarthur7336 I agree. Ever since I was a small boy in the late 60’s, early 70’s I felt SUCH AN AFFINITY like she was in my thoughts and dreams. She spoke to me-I have always been connected to her since I could remember…..like we were SoulMates!!

Ann will say whatever she needs to say just to be relevant. She's been involved in two interviews regarding Judy, and most of what she said was made-up.

Mort didn't say she was the greatest singer of the century, he said the greatest talent of the century. Mort was absolutely correct. Judy could do it all. SING, DANCE, ACT- COMEDY, DRAMA. She probably would have made a great director, and writer, and producer. I wouldn't be surprised.

Hallelujah!!!!

I remember seeing Judy Garland perform "live" on The Hollywood Palace". I had seen her as a child in Wizard of Oz which was only on once a year back then. When I saw her on Hollywood Palace, I was stunned at her showmanship live even though her voice was cracking from the drugs, drinks, cigarettes..she still belted out her songs and hit the big notes..she made you sit there with anticipation of not knowing if she could make it through the song..but of course she could..she was Judy!

I've been doing that too

Mickey was wrong about their first movie together, it was Thoroughbreds don't Cry, Ann Miller was wrong about Judy and Deanna. They were both under contract to M.G.M. and the Studio decided they didn't have enough work for two teenage girls. Mayer wanted to keep Deanna, and everybody else wanted to keep Judy. After arguing back and forth, Judy's side won and Deanna was released. I wonder if Judy's life would have been entirely different had they released Judy instead of Deanna.

Terry Grant Ann Miller and her different stories. On one interview she said Judy would be late and tell a couple of stories or jokes, make people laugh, and everything was fine. Her other story about Judy being late was she was so prepared that they got finished on time, so nobody stayed mad at her. These two stories came from Ann Miller herself, SO your sarcasm really isn’t appropriate and certainly not needed Mr. Dork.

I feel the same. I was one year old when she passed

Spencers Tracy considered her to be 1 of the top 5 greatest actors in show business history. And she will always be the greatest entertainer EVER PERIOD.

In PIRATE Judy was hysterical. I really get laughing hard in that one. How frustrated she got with Gene Kelly’s character and her actions were so spontaneous and hilarious. She tickles me pink in a lot of films but PIRATE shows real humor and spontaneity. It’s hard to pick a favorite film. I’ve seen everyone of them. What a STAR.!!!!!

Judy Garland will live forever. Greatest voice in world history.

Chris Mc Evoy she is amazing to say the least. Definitely should win Academy Award!

I think it was a good script but Renee didn't look or sound like her at all. Liza Minnelli is against it and I think Mickey would have been too. It was particularly unfair to him. Get a set of DVDs of The Judy Garland Show and watch those instead.

@@jaynekranc8607 This film was about the last years of her life with some flashbacks. Rene looked the part and her voice was acceptable. Judy's voice at the end was not what it once was, it would have been strange if she lipped sung her songs. Tears filled the audience as the movie played on. So sad, however, Judy Garland was one of the greatest singers and entertainers. So much talent in one small body. Maybe too much.

I picked Renee to win, and she did, deservedly. She was impressive. It doesn't make up for the academies blatant mishap, in not giving it to Garland for A Star is Born. But, it certainly helps a little. As did Lizas' winning it for Cabaret.

Renee wan her Oscar for her Judy performance

BJ White Astaire is white tie and tails, he was truly out of his element. Judy just blew his doors off in that number, fortunately, because most are watching Judy instead of Fred they don’t notice how boring and out of place he is. A Couple of Swells is a vaudeville type number, where the performers ham it up and over exaggerate almost every move. Score Fred gets a D and Judy gets an A+. Considering that Fred got 2 huge production numbers and Judy did get any, it’s Amazing that she still swiped the movie.

@@terrygrant2028 Yes Fred Astaire was always white tie and tails. Judy shined in vaudeville type dancing/numbers.

@@barbj9785 I agree but also consider Astaire a great and original artist.

Fred was white tie and tails. He was not blacked out teeth, five o'clock shadow, worn out suit and shoes, and someone who wallows around on the floor. Judy on the other hand looked right at home doing the tramp/hobo routine. She loved doing things like that. As a matter of fact, I believe she took that tramp outfit with her when she left Metro. Judy wasn't a one trick pony, she could do IT ALL. I've heard that Judy was highly intelligent, people often said that she was the smartest and funniest person they ever knew. You could use the word Cosmopolitan to help describe Judy. When it came to show business, she was probably the most well rounded/could do anything/everything performer that ever lived. Movies: Drama, Comedy, Obviously Musicals. She unbelievable in Concerts, and Nightclubs, how about Radio, she again did Comedy roles, Dramatic roles, and appeared on a ton of musical variety shows. She did so many of Bings radio shows. everyone thought she was a regular. Same with Bob Hopes shows. Judy was without a doubt, the most talented, and greatest entertainer that ever lived. She could do it all. I truly believe only God has touched more people than Judy.

She outshined everyone.

Really. Do they have to scrape all that make-up off her face, or is there another way, like melting it off.

like she shared the same plastic surgeon as michael jackson

And, she's easy on the eyes.

Ann was also more gorgeous than any of her contemporaries. 100% total professional.

I'll take Eleanor Powell.

I'll vote for Cyd Charisse.

Mr Ballofur. Indeed she was. I have watched her in amazement. Sheer magic.

*Mr. Balloffur* Watch some videos of Eleanor Powell from her movie career. She took the crown as the best dancer in the world... But Ann Miller had a longer career, because Ms Powell retired after her son was born. She wanted to focus on motherhood as her mother never was able to do while supporting her young daughter. Ann Miller's husband at the time she got pregnant beat her until she miscarried. Eleanor Powell's husband started tom-catting around once his wife became a mother. Neither woman won in the matrimonial sweepstakes. They ended up with childish men who wanted to be the envy of all the other men in the world for having the sexiest wife in he world. That's Hollywood for you. (P.S., Hollywood's _cognoscenti_ did not consider Judy Garland to be beautiful or even pretty... They didn't have a clue among the lot of them.)

And her mother Ethel too.

Yup, I heard about that. I plan to watch a true story movie called Judy Garland on Netflix tonight. I felt sad for her and the children. She went through hell times with stupid people of MSG and her ex-husbands/ her mother with no heart too!!! Her mother had a heart attacked, and died. Judy was so patient with her mother... her mother reminds me of my birth mother who attempted to murder me by giving me heroin and all... She learned it from my birth father Charles. He attempted to murder his young brother Jon's wife during she was pregnant with my cousin Wendi..that time Wendi's older sister Tammi was a kid... Geez, Crazy birth families of mine....they are dead for years. Oh well

Her mom was responsible for a CHILD. MGM has other children who had parents that protected them so cannot blame MGM

?Judy's mother only cared about being the mother of a famous daughter. She loved the attention. The heck with what the Studio did to her, Mrs. Garland loved all the attention.

He brought up the talking point so Lorna could say what she said... it never goes away. Many people who have not gone through it do not realize that when a loved one is lost, the grief never fades, and you often have to live with it daily for the rest of your life... so, in my opinion, Larry did good.

Stacey Michaels Larry can’t help it

I think he meant it the other way. That her impact was so great she is missed 3 decades later

I don’t know if the Wizard of Oz was considered a failure because it didn’t make money when it was released. But, it wasn’t a total failure because, it did well at the box-office. But, the movie was the most expensive movie made (I think in history). It ran way over budget, with the replacement of Buddy Ebsen as the Tin Man, after a months shooting, Margaret Hamilton having to take time off because of her burns, and Judy getting Pneumonia. So they were way over budget.

Yes she is underrated. I also loved how she sang.

Allen M. Quinn Ann Miller had zone great scene in Easter parade and had the time to make it perfect not having to be in 80 percent of picture

Ann Miller is a matter of taste. I don't like her, never have. And I've said it here, I don't know we're Miller got that story, but, I isn't true. Mickey didn't remember what was the first movie they made together, I do, it was called THROUGH- BREADS DON'T CRY IN 1937. JUDY GOT TOP BILLING. When people get older, their memory's seem to go. As did Mickeys, and Ann's. I hate to beat people over their heads with the truth, but, Anna story is not true, and neither is Mickeys.

Impossible. Not on Ann Millers very best day and Judy's very worst day. Ann Miller was a great dancer, but, I'll take Eleanor Powell. She was much more athletic then Ms.Miller. There was some reason why Ms.Miller never became a tier one performer.

And she was in a brace recovering from a broken bone in her back. She was in pain every single moment of that.

Me too! What a talent, presence, and aurora she had in movies! :)

Ann Miller comments about Judy are mostly faults. Her story about Deanna Durbin and Judy just isn’t true. Other comments about her being late, one story was she wasn’t prepared, and her other story was although she was always late we still finished on time because she was so well prepared. And that’s the truth because I heard both interviews.

To MGM, Judy Garland was a cash cow and a commodity. They cared nothing about her health or what they did to her that addicted her to pills.

He had his own career and money problems.

This is a chopped off, edited version of the real ONE HOUR INTERVIEW! MARGARET O'BRIEN SPOKE TOO, you just can't see or hear it HERE. IF YOU look at 1:25 she wasn't even in the studio!! God... Sure, blame Larry for every fucking thing...

Calm down, the entire show has been posted, just in parts. You can find the Margaret O'Brien segment by doing a search.

Buzz Stephens sorry but some people are extra annoying. Anyway, thanks for this interview, I enjoyed it. Too bad the lovely Ms. Luft isn't more well-known at least outside the US like Liza is... Lorna is such a sweet person too!!

Love Larry King. He really cares about the people he interviews. He loved Judy.

Betsy Stewart. he drove me crazy when he did that such a darn disrespectful way to interview

Larry was the worst interviewer in television history. He never did any preparation and asked the dumbest questions. I'm glad Lorna said "What do you think?" duh.

You are absolutely correct.

He always talks over the people he's interviewing. Horrible interviewer.

He’s a dilettante, not a good interviewer. Another overrated one: Charlie Rose

I don't know how his career lasted for as long as it did. He's lousy.

Ann Miller really didn't belong on that show. I really don't believe she was to fond of Judy. I think they call it Jealously.

I don’t think it was lack of intelligence on Judy’s part; she was very smart. But when it came to finances and business she was naive and too trusting of others to take care of that side of things.

@@elspethcoogan1499 I've always thought that part of the problem was that MGM was like a parent figure who took care of everything for you. She started there as a young girl, and she was an investment, like a property. The studio ran their lives. Judy probably never learned about money, because she didn't have to. The money came pouring in and was always there -- till it wasn't! And when it wasn't Judy was struggling with that, as well as physical/emotional problems.

Hazel Juanita Millan-Hoffman According to Judy herself In an interview on April 23, 1962, the one year anniversary of Carnegie Hall, Lorna was her singer, and Liza was her Dancer. Liza often hit some notes that were real clinkers. But, it doesn’t matter any more, both of their voices are gone.

Hazel Juanita Millan-Hoffman - I think liza is a better performer than Lorna. What I don't like about Lorna was that in the book she made her father Syd seemed a nice guy but he wasn't because of him Judy was broke and living from the charity of some of her friends. Syd like anyone else only used Judy for the money and the fame her name alone brought.

Agreed. No follow up, no focus, and just every stereotype evident in the questioning. A total waste of a great opportunity to get some first hand recollection from those who were there.

Bonapartist That is Larry King's style of interviewing.

And it sucks!

Yes! I've always thought that about him too. Interrupts, cold and impersonal.

Boy you got that right. I was just listening to the first 10 minutes of this interview and was appalled at his behavior. These were close friends the daughter Mickey Rooney and to jump from one topic to suddenly talking about her difficult years. I can't stand the way he cuts people off. If he allowed a natural flow between these people it would have been a really beautiful tribute to Judy Garland. But I agree with you completely his treatment of this interview was really poor.

***** But the great Shirley Bassey has never abused herself or her magnificent voice. There's the difference.

***** Are you kidding? You know NOTHING about Shirley Bassey.

***** I'm happy to see that you agree that you know nothing about one of the world's most iconic, successful entertainers.

***** Try as I might, I can't find where I commented on her being a saint. Your reference to "lush life" (all in caps, the song?) leaves me baffled, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's confused by you.

***** Oh, you have clearly gone off your meds. This is my last communication with you; I haven't the time nor patience for the obviously unbalanced. There is NO Bassey album called "Lush Life," though I seriously think that you're probably a lush.

a really tight glove that strangles artists frequently LOL
