Judy Garland
Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm; June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American actress, singer and dancer.
During a career that spanned 45 years, she attained international stardom as an actress in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage.
Respected for her versatility, she received an Academy Juvenile Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Special Tony Award.
In 1962, Garland won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for her 1961 double LP live recording "Judy at Carnegie Hall"—the first woman to win in this category.
She is considered by many to be one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century.
Garland began performing in vaudeville as a child with her two elder sisters and was later signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager.
She appeared in more than two dozen films for MGM, and is best remembered for her portrayal of Dorothy Gale in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939).
Garland was a frequent on-screen partner of both Mickey Rooney and Gene Kelly and regularly collaborated with director and second husband Vincente Minnelli.
Some of her film appearances during this period include roles in "Meet Me in St. Louis" (1944), "The Harvey Girls" (1946), "Easter Parade" (1948), and "Summer Stock" (1950).
Garland was released from MGM in 1950, after 15 years with the studio, amid a series of personal struggles that prevented her from fulfilling the terms of her contract.
Although her film career became intermittent thereafter, two of Garland's most critically acclaimed performances came late in her career: she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in "A Star Is Born" (1954) and a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961).
She also made record-breaking concert appearances, released eight studio albums, and hosted her own Emmy-nominated television series,
"The Judy Garland Show" (1963–1964).
At age 39, Garland became the youngest and first female recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the film industry.
In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the 10 greatest female stars of classic American cinema.
Garland struggled in her personal life from an early age.
The pressures of early stardom affected her physical and mental health from her teens onward; her self-image was influenced and constantly criticized by film executives who believed that she was physically unattractive.
Those same executives manipulated her onscreen physical appearance.
Throughout her adulthood she was plagued by alcohol and substance abuse, as well as financial instability; she often owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes.
Her lifelong addiction to drugs, including alcohol, ultimately led to her death in London from an accidental barbiturate overdose at age 47.

A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow
A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow( Cailin Deas Crúite na m B ó in the Irish language) is a traditional 18 th- century Irish ballad.
The English version is attributed to Thomas Moore( 1779 – 1852).
Originally sung in Irish Gaelic, the song was popular through the early 20th century.
It enjoyed a revival when an updated swing version sung by Irish- American singer/ actress Judy Garland was featured in the 1940 film Little Nellie Kelly.
The updated version is true to the original musical air, and incorporated original lyrics by MGM Musical Director Roger Edens, and featured Garland singing the song to George Murphy using some of the original Gaelic lyrics in the first chorus, which was true to the traditional air, before moving into an up- tempo swing version typical of the era.
The song was released as the B-side of the more popular Garland song
It's A Great Day for the Irish by Decca Records in 1940.
It became a popular song for Irish- Americans during St Patrick's Day celebrations.
It remained a popular number for Garland throughout her career, and most notably she sang it live in its original Irish language version in July 1951 at her Theatre Royal concerts in Dublin, Ireland.
A Dublin review stated:" Remember the song she sang in" Nellie Kelly The Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow."
Judy is providing herself with the Irish version –" Cailin Deas Cruidte na mBo" while in Ireland".
Later in 1951, she included the song in her first record- breaking appearance at New York's Palace Theatre, although this time reverting to the new version that combined both English- and Irish- language lyrics.
The song is also featured on Garland at the Grove on Capitol Records, recorded live in 1958 at the Coconut Grove in Hollywood.
Singers and groups including Bing Crosby, Ruby Murray, Eileen Barton, Carmel Quinn, Clannad, The Fureys, Blackthorn Ceilidh Band, Runa and The Chieftains, Altan among others, have recorded the song in either form or a combination of both.
Duck Baker recorded a fingerstyle guitar arrangement.
The song was sung by Jack Jones the teenage son of Anne Jones the publican of the Glenrowan Inn( Victoria, Australia) while it was under siege by the Kelly Gang.
The siege was broken by the Victorian Police on the morning of Monday June 28, 1880.
Jack Jones died of injuries sustained during the police assault on the hotel.
This song was cover- versioned by Japanese singer Suzuki Tsunekichi( Japanese: 鈴木常吉) in the title of" Memories"( Japanese: 思ひで), which was adapted as the opening theme song of Japanese TV drama" Shinya Shokudō"( Japanese: 深夜食堂).

It's a Great Day for the Irish
"It's a Great Day for the Irish" is an Irish-American song that was written in 1940 by Roger Edens, one of the many musical directors at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios under the leadership of Arthur Freed for inclusion in the film version of the George M. Cohan 1922 Broadway show "Little Nellie Kelly", directed by Norman Taurog.
The rights of the show were sold to MGM by Cohan as a starring vehicle for Judy Garland.
The song was partly written to capitalize on Garland's identification with her Irish roots
(Garland was a quarter Irish through her maternal grandmother Eva Fitzpatrick).
The new song was to be used in a recreation of New York's famed annual St. Patrick's Day Parade marching up Fifth Avenue.
It was to be a major production number requiring the "New York Street" set on the backlot to be enlarged, involving the main characters of the film and showcasing Garland's enormously strong voice and engaging performance style as she sang and danced up the avenue with her father, played by George Murphy, her stereotypical grandfather (played by Charles Winninger) and her boyfriend (Douglas McPhail).
The movie was well received, but is now most remembered for the rousing song it introduced into Irish-American culture and as Garland's only death scene on film.
