Judy Garland, AKA Miss Show Biz, was a wonderfully beautiful actress and singer from the 1930s to the late 1960s, when she unexpectedly died a premature
death caused by her drug usage. She's the
woman who made "Have Yourself A Merry Little
Christmas" the Christmas standard it is today, and sung "Over the Rainbow" in The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
Judy
Garland ended up playing the role of seventeen-year-old
Esther Smith in the MGM
music Meet Me In St. Louis, a role she originally didn't want because she feared it would sey her career back instead of forward.
