On June 15, 1945 Judy Garland married Vincente Minnelli.
It was her second marriage, and his first. It seemed
like a match made in MGM Heaven. Vincente had just
risen to fame as the studio's premiere musical director.
And, he was the man responsible for Judy's seamless
transition from juvenile parts to adult roles. In
fact, it was Vincente who took Judy a step further
in making her, with the invaluable help of make-up
maven Dottie Ponedel, into MGM's premiere leading
lady of their musicals. Three of Judy's four previous
films had been directed by Vincente: Meet Me
In St. Louis - 1944 (in which Judy was made
up for the first time by Dottie); Ziegfeld Follies
- 1946 (Judy's number filmed by Vincente in 1944);
and The Clock - 1945 (Judy's rare foray
into a straight dramatic role)...
