Irish Thought for May 7...

Irish-American Celebrities

Judy Garland

American actress and singer Judy Garland, through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage.  After appearing in vaudeville with her sisters, Garland was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager.  There she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney and the 1939 film with which Judy would be most identified, The Wizard of Oz.  After 15 years, Garland 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 actin beginning with a critically acclaimed performance in A Star is Born.
