Born Frances Gumm, Judy Garland (1922-1969) grew up in a family of vaudevillians and began her movie career with MGM as a teenager. Appearing in more than two dozen films for MGM, she is best remembered for her role as Dorothy in 1939's "The Wizard of Oz", and was a frequent on-screen partner of Mickey Rooney and Gene Kelly in musicals. She released 8 studio albums, her concert appearances were sellouts, and her television variety show received an Emmy Award. At the age of 39 she became the youngest recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. Sadly, the pressures of stardom led to her dependence on drugs and alcohol and she died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 47. US #4077 sheet of 20
