She looked so much older than her years (47?). She should’ve been living in the lap of luxury by this time but people and drugs wore her down. Rest In Peace dear lady.
She was one of the first stars that hollywood tore down She looks very tired but still trying to keep it together It seems like she only just wanted to be validated by somebody
@@charleswtriplett BS! Read Lorna's book, 'Me and My Shadows!' Moving them from place to place, getting kicked out of hotels, making them endure her drug + alcohol addiction(s), fighting with their fathers and marrying a man (Mickey Deans) she only knew for a few weeks without as much as even telling them about it!. They loved her unconditionally but there's no denying she was a horrible parent. That's just FACT.
Judy just wanted to be ordinary, she didn’t enjoy her legend status. It must have alienated her from forming relationships that were based on a genuine connection rather than other people’s expectations of her star status. Fame can be a cruel burden to bear. Fans often ignore the person and instead satisfy their own craving for the image upon which they project their fantasies. To me Judy seems genuinely happy in this clip, she had found her ordinariness. But she could never escape the unrelenting spotlight that must have exhausted her. She had a rare gift that we all were privileged to witness; but at a cost to Judy. However, she wasn’t the tragedy figure some attribute to her: in her all too short life she experienced a whirlwind existence very few experience. Who’s to say a long life is a true reflection of a life well lived?
Judy wanted to be ordinary? Surely you jest. And in this clip- this freakish, pathetic, doomed sham of a marriage to a drifter 12 years her junior- she has found ordinariness? How old are you, anyway?
The last thing in the world Judy wanted to be was ordinary. That 17 readers bought that hogwash shows how much is forgotten about Judy, who, like all great stars, loved being a star, and wouldn't have it any other way.
Over the years, my opinion on Mickey Deans has changed quite a lot. Before, I used to see him as a low life scoundrel who killed Judy, but now I realize he wasn't. It's very easy to try and pin on him decades of problems, as if he alone could solve the incredibly complex problems that Judy faced by her mid-40s. Let's not forget that by early 1960's, doctors told her she would not live more than 5 years as a consequence of her liver. Also, Deans simply disappeared from the face of the earth after Judy's death, when he could have try to profit off of her image, even selling her personal belongings. Sad story all around.
The only thing that may qualify as Mickey being a profiteer from Judy’s passing is the book he released after she died. I don’t know how well it sold but it netted him something… if you look up “Mickey Deans joshes” you’ll find a photo related to an interview he did at the time. I almost didn’t recognize him because he has a new set of teeth! However, we will never know the dynamics of their marriage and should be glad she just had someone with her when she left us.
Cut to the early 2000s when he was publicly and openly selling what he had left of her belongings on eBay. I think he earned his own fortune in the late 70s which explains why he disappeared because he had no use for her anymore. His book was a flash in the pan where it belonged.
I wish things had been better for her yes she had a drug problem but she gave the world so much and all she ever got from the world was sadness No wonder she was dead at 47 who would be able to endure the constant abuse?
Judy looks so much older than her year's and lost somehow fragile, worn down by the Hollywood system and year's of alcohol and drug abuse, in her case forced upon her, by greedy moguls and her own mother!! Sleep tight, you talented lady, go sing with the Angel's x
It wasn’t drug “abuse” that was the issue. Judy was addicted to prescription medication, prescribed by unscrupulous doctors and endorsed by film and television executives. I make this point because I think there are some people (not necessarily you) that think Judy was using drugs like cocaine when she never touched ‘hard’ drugs. There wasn’t the help for people in Judy's situation: no clinics or support. It was Betty Ford who came out as it were and helped put addiction into the public arena, which led to clinics being opened to specifically help those who were struggling with medication. Alas, it was too late for Judy.
@@elspethcoogan1499Dr. Prescribed speed can be just as hard as cocaine…just like downers can be just as bad as H. …just because these are not street drugs does not mean they are not drugs. Also back then…prescription drugs were far stronger than what we have today except for Fent.
Prescription medications are still drugs and can be just as strong especially if taken all the time. …plus medications back then were far stronger. RIP Judy
Mickey had no income, much less arranged for 500 cinemas, or even one cinema to give Judy. 01:04 Judy's blasted out of her mind. How else could she get herself in this predicament?
I don't think she was wasted, I think her mental health was declining more from not eating and all the medications she was on ..by this point in her life Judy couldn't function without the drugs
Saying she’s ”blasted” and “wasted” is just crass, rude, disrespectful. Yes, she had a drug problem. It killed her. Show some respect. So tired of how cruel and dismissive people can be. What has happened to civility?
Her husband there looks like a man out to get whatever he could have the last of her money ! Poor Judy ,looks so unhappy, but she will still bring happiness to so many kids and adults who watch THE WIZARD OF OZ, SLEEP WELL LOVELY GIRL XX
Used and Abused Such a talented, special lady However We as her followers/fans/general public of those days put her on a pedestal Has the entertainment industry changed No, not really 🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️🙏🙏😭😭🌎😢
@@ScrapNfightbig difference is severity of doses with Benzedrine and actual meth. Concentration of speed is 100 x as potent and as addicting with meth.
Jude was so skinny. The fault was of the studios really they started to drug her for get her skinner. In this.point i feel she had lost the control of her own life.
Judy was really not in good health and working was literally killing her. She was emaciated and looked well beyond her 47 years. She was looking for stability and this oaf she found didn't live up to his promise, no 500 cinemas and no security. He was also gay. After she died he went back to a boyfriend and they were together for years.
Yeah she was in nad shape here. I thing renee zellwegger did fine but she was sooo much sicker i think than she was portrayed. Its so obvious in this she has ran out of gas. Sad.
She and Lana Turner both aged terribly. When they were 45, already looked like 60. I guess too many booze and cigarettes, and in Judy’s Case pills 💊 But again, Dietrich and Crawford aged very well.
