It’s time to start celebrating the Judy Garland Centennial!
To get things going, The Judy Room is featuring the first of a new series “Through The Years – The Judy Garland Story.” When completed (by the centennial of her birth on June 10, 2022), the pages will present the story of Judy’s incredible life and career with engaging and interactive highlights featuring rare photos, plus audio and video clips.
First up: 1922-1934!
By the time 1934 came to a close, 12-year-old Frances Garland (previously Frances Gumm and soon to be Judy Garland) was already a seasoned show business pro with some serious stage, radio, and film, credits. Anyone who saw Judy perform knew it was just a matter of time before she hit it big. This girl with the big voice and triple-threat talent was going places! All she needed was that one fateful break.
