Over the Rainbow: The Hollywood Career of Judy Garland via Zoom

Next to Fred Astaire, Judy Garland may be the most talented person to ever set foot in Hollywood. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t do, from breaking an audience’s heart with a song, to effortlessly dancing up a storm, to delivering comic and dramatic performances that still enthrall today. While she was among the greatest live entertainers in show biz history, and one of the top recording artists of her time, it’s her appearances in front of the camera that remain her lasting legacy. This talk, given by Brian Rose, will examine Ms. Garland’s remarkable Hollywood career, which began in her young teens at MGM and continued with such timeless classics as The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, Easter Parade, and her stirring comeback in 1954, A Star is Born.  Registration begins May 20 via the library’s Web site.
