JUDY GARLAND: CELEBRITY ARRIVALS AT THE 1939 ACADEMY AWARDS. RARE. 

They work for MGM, Norma does drama and Judy does musicals. All the stars on one lot know each other, even though they may not make a movie together. Here Norma and Judy with George Raft, are laughing at what Hedy ( across the table ) is making a joke. Private info according to Myrna Loy who said that Hedy had a real sense of humor .

I didn’t realize how tiny Judy Garland was!

The cutest thing i saw today is them laughing

And you know this, how? you were there? She did make her oscar speech in front of the 'all white' audience.

"How do you know this"??? Are you kidding. It's well documented. News accounts, people who were like Olivia deHaviland.

I wouldn't disagree with that but then I wasn't there. Child star Shirley Temple worked with a talented black dancer (Bill Robinson) during that era. Shirley wrote that Bill Robinson was not allowed in the same hotel she was allowed in and she was unaware. Most people aren't aware that in Santa Rita New Mexico segregation existed. My grandmother who was actually Native American was escorted from her seat in a Santa Rita Movie theater from the white section to the Spanish American section (probably in the late 20's or 30's). The schools had separate bathrooms for white Americans and Spanish Americans. Native Americans usually spoke Spanish due to Spain's influence in the American southwest. Mexicans think it due to their influence. My mother deeply resented racial segregation up to her death!

Clark gable did fight for her. P.s they are just actors not some revolutionaries or politicians or reformer or anything like that. They were doing there job and got a reward for that . They tried for their black co star . But that was the only thing they could do at that time. It takes time to make a change . They did their part and others after them did too. And now there is a better society for all the black.

Funny, the narrator couldn't stop raving about Hedy's looks and calling her gorgeous.

@@noel888 Both Hedy Lamar and Vivien Leigh were super gorgeous! They are sometimes called twins as they resembled each other in lot of ways. Vivien was one year older than Hedy.

'Funny,' guess you missed it when the narrator talks about VL arriving with her 'glorious self.' lol

Looking great on Oscar night in that simple printed gown with the knockout babble. And very much like Scarlett O'Hara herself!

vivien is No.1

Olivia DeHaviland is the only star in the crowd who is still alive today at 103 years old!

bernard brown now she’s dead :(

@@bernardbrown5336 May she rest in peace. She died last Sunday, July 26, 2020. 😔

She sat among the audience

Sign of the times. We are looking at history through todays eyes.

AND NOW YOU WANT IT ALL.

And flesh.

The year was 1940 but the awards were for 1939.

The girl was actress model Kay Aldridge. She started out on screen as Katherine Aledridge, later shortened it to Kay. She's best remembered as a serial queen and can be seen on RU-vid as the heroine of PERILS OF NYOKA (1942)

They are awful today. Each year I say I’m going to stop watching!

Ah, nope. There is a lot of beauty in the room. Not just Hedy. That was VL's year, in all ways. lol

vivien leigh!

@@machalicao1470 yes, Hedy Lamarr definitely puts Vivien Leigh in the shade with her luminous exquisite radiance. Hedy is glowing!

@@terrihilder8217 which is why this footage clearly shows how much more exquisite Hedy Lamarr is and why every person who ever saw them in real life has echoed that for decades. Cheers!

@@theblueangel28 Nope, not even close. We'll just have to agree to disagree. As the announcer even mentions, there is Vivien Leigh with her "glorious self." Vivien Leigh owned the room when she walked in with David Selznick. Sorry, as I said in a previous remark, Ms. Leigh doesn't take a back seat to anyone on anything on this glorious night. Including Viv taking home the best actress Oscar. Cheers! lol

Sorry bud, VL doesn't take a back seat to anyone on this specific night. To anyone on anything. lol

I saw a 1935 film at the Stanford Theater years ago, and it had a shake like that in places. Turns out it was a shrunken nitrate print and the projectionist was holding it against the intermittent sprocket with a finger to keep it moving.

Disgusting, and inhuman to humiliate this fine actress who added so much to Gone With The Wind.

Well, maybe you should live in 1939 then, do not live in this year 2000 please

Last night when we were young.

Terry Smith 👍

Its in her lyrics and a hugely popular and well known song from The Garland Album entitled “Judy” in 1956

It always was about ego

she's the cute little bean closest to the camera giggling at 1:34

Watch the TCM channel they are all there. 24/7.

Yah that makes me sad i wish i was born in their era so i can meet judy i want to find a girl like her

Yah and that makes me sad i wish i was born in their era so

A starlet she was always seen as an extra...i believe her name was Kate Aldridge.

Thank you, that's interesting

And by the way, I got my facts all mixed up, he was already dating Olivia at that time. He dated ginger 2 years before around the time they did Vivacious Lady
