Irish Thought for March 28...

Irish-American Celebrities

Judy Garland

Respected for her versatility, actress and singer Judy Garland received a Juvenile Academy Award, won a Golden Globe, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her work films, as well as Grammy Awards and a special Tony Award.  At MGM she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney and the 1939 film with which she 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 acting beginning with a critically acclaimed performance in A Star is Born.
