FEATURED WEBSITE
FRANCES GUMM.com
Rebekah Hurth has done a fantastic job in adding to Judy's presence on the web.
Not only is her site wonderful and well done, but it's actually several sites in one!
I
personally like the "Judy Online" site - tons of information about
where to find what in the web, and a listing of all Judy Garland web
sites - never realized there were so many!
A
Special THANK YOU to Kim Loeffler for sharing so many of her great Judy
photos and collection with me over the past few years for inclusion in
The Judy Room - THANKS KIM!!!

The
CD includes never-before-heard outtakes as well as incidental and
background scoring. Before long, ALL of Judy's MGM songs will be
available on CD. Only a few songs left to go!

GOSSIP & FUN STUFF!! |
| |
From the Boston Sunday Herald on June 3, Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa reported in their "Inside Track" column:
"Local
casting czarina Susan Willet is off to Puerto Rico, Toronto, New York
and Los Angeles to find actors for a new flick called "The Day Judy
Garland Died." The flick has nothing to do with Dorothy's alter-ego,
though. It's about the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village in 1969,
which kicked off the gay rights movement and started the day Garland
died."
NOTE: A
film called "Stonewall" came out in 1996 and featured a colorful and
fun cast of characters. One was a female impersonator who was a Judy
fan, and showed her reaction to Judy's death, and then the subsequent
antagonistic patrons of the bar, listening to Judy on the jukebox. Also
includes some great REAL footage from Campbell's in New York
INNERCHILD.COM
has Judy Garland (as Dorothy) MARBLES for sale! Very fun! They're $3.50
and I don't know if that means for just one or a little bag? I've
already ordered so I'll let everyone know what I get!
