Judy Garland

Judy Garland, born on June 10, 1922, was an actress and singer whose talent and vulnerability made her one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars. Best known for her iconic role as Dorothy inThe Wizard of Oz, Garland’s powerful voice and emotional depth brought songs like “Over the Rainbow” to life. Her personal struggles with addiction and mental health were well-documented, and her life ended tragically on June 22, 1969, at the age of 47, from an accidental overdose.

Garland’s philosophy on authenticity shone through in her words: “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else,” a testament to her enduring spirit.If Judy Garland were alive today, she’d be in her late 90s, and we might picture her with short, curly gray hair, her face softened by time but still glowing with warmth.
