Typical scenes of Judy ‘in action,’ Judy on stage at the Greek ITieatre Judy's Unforgettable Rainbow by Robert Kendall t A small form sat on the apron of the stage as houselights dimmed. In her clown costume, with rumpled hair, tear-streaked eyes, Judy Garland’s magnificient voice soared in song, lifting an entire world audience “Over the Rainbow.” The imprint of Judy singing this song remains one of the most vivid, unforgettable moments in entertainment history. When Judy Garland had her own CBS-TV series, each segment ended with her singing, “I Will Come Back”, which tuned-in to the vibration of her vast audience because Judy was always welcome back. Her last movie titled, “I Could Go On Singing” uniquely fitted her fan’s encore demands, “More, more, more!” Judy put so much feeling into each shattering performance, that audience response often bordered on hysteria. The love that bounced back and forth across the foothghts at a Garland performance was electrical, vibrant and so real that even caustic critics had to admit they’d never seen anything like it before — it is doubtful they ever will. For only once in a century comes a performer whose personal magnetism, beauty, talent and soul combine to create such a universal response. Judy grew up with the pubhc and the public grew up with Judy. As a child she was overworked and underfed. Yet the boundless energy she displayed in films never betrayed this tragedy.

Then the pressures showed through when she was busy at work on “Annie Get Your Gun.” Judy had to take time out. She eased back on radio with Bing Crosby. Shattering all house records, Judy revived vaudeville at the show biz shrine, the Palace in New York. Producer-husband Sid Luft guided Judy back to films in “A Star is Bom”, her most celebrated triumph with the one exception, “The Wizard of Oz.” At Carnegie Hall Judy again broke all records. Her recordings became instant Judy with her No. 1 fan, Wayne Martin 7
