Did you know
- TriviaThe film began as a project for Annette Bening to star in.
- GoofsJudy sings the wrong "Eli Eli" to Louis Mayer. We hear her sing an Israeli song that begins "Eli Eli" but had not yet been written at the time. (It's more properly known as "Walking to Caesaria.") An entirely different "Eli Eli," one of the most popular Jewish songs in the early days of the phonograph, is what we should have heard.
- Quotes
Judy Garland: Uninsurable? Uh-huh?... of course I can do eight shows a week, I did eight shows a day in vaudeville... well even the greatest performer in the world can occasionally catch a cold and miss a performance! Let me tell you something: I have been in show business for forty years. That's thirty-five movies, six hundred radio shows, seventeen hundred concerts...! Difficult? Yes, I've heard how difficult it is to work with Judy Garland, do you know how difficult it is to *be* Judy Garland? I've been trying to be Judy Garland all my life!
- Alternate versionsThe DVD version of the film has a number at the Palace theatre removed from the body of the film, but is retained as an extra feature on the disc.

Featured review
She overcame the Wicked Witch only to be destroyed by demons
Lorna Luft wrote and produced this epic tale of her mother Judy Garland's often-tragic life in the spotlight.
Frances Gumm starts her life out becoming an actress and singer. She changes her name to Judy Garland and signs a contract with MGM studios who promise her a big break.
That break comes in the form of Dorothy Gale in The Wizard Of Oz. But fame comes at a price. Addictions to drugs and alcohol plus failed marriages and piles of debt leave Judy sprialling out of control.
It's the touching true story of Judy Garland. From her humble beginnings to her dramatic end, this is quite simply, brilliant.
Tammy Blanchard, who plays the younger Judy Garland is so much like her, it's not even funny - and her acting is fantastic, also. 9/1O
