Mickey Rooney talks about Judy Garland 

Why did they treat this beautiful soul Soo bad

@@pamelaanderson4718 $$$$. They worked her literally to her death, propping her up with pills, so she could perform for hours. She was the studios' cash cow.

His true Love.

*He's

Why did they never marry? A cherished friendship, I imagine.

@@jannuzijannuzicharlescharl3260 He spoke about her as if she were an angel, but you're right lol

They had very dictatorial standards of beauty. To them, her nose was too snubby, her eyes were too wide apart, and her teeth needed "fixing." She was also quite voluptuous for her age, which studio heads felt "inappropriate," so she was put on a very strict diet to try and control her curves. Happily, that never quite worked out.

MaskedMan66 Louie B. Mayer did more to harm Judy than to promote her. I'm glad the movie stars finally escaped those dedicated studio contracts.

Agreed, Shirley Temple doesn't look that much different to me than Judy Garland did. Both had the same wide eyed baby face, but Hollywood was so much nicer to Shirley than to Judy. I wonder why.

HuggiMa It may have been as simple as Shirley was with a nicer studio. I mean, her life wasn't without its problems; she married before she was ready for it (she was 17), and that marriage fell apart. But her second one was solid.

yes, Shirley's first marriage wasn't perfect, but that came after she was already an actor for many years. Compared to Judy multiple marriages, being forced to take drugs to act, as well as be picked on constantly for her appearance, Shirley's life in Hollywood was heaven.

Awe, that's sweet. I think you're right ☺

I don't think he wants to be with her tho lol he would've married her if he wanted to

chomp chomp Rooney said it himself in this interview, that she’s like a sister to him.

In the Arms of Jesus, our Saviour

I wonder what would have happened if they had gotten married?

it's called show business. in reality, judy adored him and he was a real dick to her

how do you know

indee. he always spoke good about her...

Which "others?" I've never heard anything but glowing words from people she worked with.

@Luna T From the same lady who said that the midget who asked her out stood an inch high. Are you sure she wasn't exaggerating? She was one for the tall tale, was Judy. Remember: an alleged 72-hour stretch for an actor is a 72-hour stretch for the director, the cameramen, the floor crew, and all the extras.

@Brad1980 are you a 3rd wheel on their relationship???

60 minutes was great!

That clip is incredible, I had never seen it before. Excellent comedic timing by the both of them & Garland's acting playing off Mickey is top notch

Yeah. I even looked up if they were both christians and going to heaven and was so happy that they were. :) RIP.

Well said.

Danny Flanagan how the fuck do you know ?

Danny Flanagan you're a VERY Tough RU-vid warrior

U R right there is nothing but within that nothing exists Everything in a swirling pulsating blackness yes but it Is different from the blackness we.now see. Because Every thing exists within it a connection to the UNIQUENESS of a energy can be made. Energy and matter cannot be destroyed. Mickey s and Judy's energy electronic, magnetic is as individual As thire finger prints in the denser form as body. Love Is eternal eg the love of most mothers, not romantic construct, but Love this intense emotion would have made a connection I know how.u feel I lost my beloved daughter and have tried to search for her in this what seems Nothing but darkness place?

Man I'm 18 born 2000 and I truly think we should bring back this kind of music I know it's different but if I enter the NBA and I'll make it someday I'm gonna bring this back All the friends and teens my age don't even know what is this stuff jazz all these old music they don't understand I listen to new music too But this is the generation that started it all

God your soo right. it is water down.:(

the music back then was soo unic. and i was born in oct 1969. and i love this kind of music!;) its soo awsome!;)

I was alive during Judy's last three years.

But you are alive to enjoy the talents of Angelina Jolie!

So do I, and I’m only 22. I seriously enjoy watching these kinds of videos because I’m always fascinated at how life was like back in the 30’s and 40’s.

There should of been a Judy movie called, Love finds Betsy Booth after the debutante

M M

Shane, I met him too!!! In 1995, in Westlake Village, California, he used to come into the Coco’s Restaurant I worked at. I was so excited when he walked in, I said, “you’re Mickey Rooney”!!! lol, he was so nice and smiling and happy I made a big deal out of him!!! So exciting!!!

She became the song! When you think of how the studios pumped her with uppers and downers it's amazing the fortitude she had to give and give with the back to back films and hold it all together as though her life was just a peachy existence ~ which it was not. Wouldn't it be amazing for some child to be reincarnated with Judy's lovely gift of song ~ we could use another voice like that now! Love & Happiness, ~ Nell

@

She was the reason The Wizard Of Oz is one of the greatest films ever to be produced. Pure magic.

Well, she was in awe of Streisand!

LoL loved Mickey, but the passing of a 93 year old man isn’t breaking news 😪 Drama queen lol ✌🏻💖 R.I.P. Judy & Mickey

LoL!! I’m not a troll! I loved them both. It was just an over dramatic statement

I loved him and thought he’ll be forgotten! I pray he won’t be!!

@Janetta Martin Especially when he come rolling in 4 years after the fact with a comment like that.

@@delusionsofgrandeur1330 Sorry but if it's Mickey Rooney, it's breaking news!

How do you figure?

@@LadyGreyBlack You read wrong. One little man asked her to dinner, but as he was old enough to be her father, she politely refused. He was cool with it, and let the matter drop.

Exactly!! They abused her and she's so beautiful 😍❤️ always in my heart

Where it really became noticeable was in Girl Crazy. Before that, Rooney's antics would sort of overpower everyone else on the screen, but in that movie, she really "got it". Every eye was drawn to her in a way that was unlike any of the previous movies. At least that's my opinion. It's something she never lost in any of the following movies.

Richard Donato I agree totally One critic noticed this in Easter Parade - even though she was dancing with Fred Astaire you only watch Garland Also her acting was so timeless that she springs out of the screen in Meet Me In St. Louis for example because the rest of the cast are acting in the style of the time but Judy could have done the scene yesterday - she's streets ahead and so fresh and somehow so modern

Made young Streisand almost invisible . . .

grai that is So TRUE

+Ghoulish Grin Films Olivia de Hallivand ( 99) and Zsa Zsa Gabor (98) are still alive. They may have a long,long life. :)

In my opinion that's how parenting should work, giving children the skin of the apple rather then covering it up with caramel. I wouldn't say something like "No, Hollywood killed her!" but i could tell your Mother had good intentions getting you ready for the world. I wish i could've met Judy even though it wouldn't have gone very well lol.

@@fosterglucose3214 That is so strange and cruel. A child will have plenty of time to grow up and be hard and negative no need to rush it. A simple " No luv she is not " would suffice. Caramel apple indeed.

@kkh369And I can say the same to you. Maybe you shouldn't worry what people write in a public comment section on YT eh? Have a fabulous day dahling!

@kkh369 You're trying to tell people what not to do so YES I can say the same to you. I can say whatever I like whenever I like and if you don't like it, don't read it. Entiendo? Need a tissue Nancy?

@kkh369 Actually you mental midget it means ' understand'. Entiendes. You apparently don't speak spanish.

Yes he was. He was born in 1920. As a child he did do silent films.

True but he still was in them. Besides in today's generation i'd say no one knows him except for being Gus in night at the Museum.

TheHauntedMansionFan12345 hes not the last, hes one of them but Baby Peggy and Zsa Zsa Gabor among others from that era are still alive. There are not very many though, those that are still alive are or close to 100 years old

Aaron Clark-Jones the last of the Majors then.

oh yes definitely :)

If you don't have Jesus, you'll need anethesia.....

This is my alltime favourite christmas song ever! I love Judy and Mickey!

I remember my dad seeing Mickey on TV and telling me he used to have a full head of hair. With no internet back then i just had to take his word for it. ;)

They have been together always...in spirit!

I could add to this, but you said it beautifully...clearly her children adore her to this day, it's not necessary to share all the grief with the world, we know they loved her, wished better for her, yet accept what is. Pretty remarkable.

That is so true. Hollywood did to her and her mom.

It breaks my heart, it some what breaks me.

I'm reading the book Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland and it is almost too match to wrap my head around. The one man who love and adored her died when she was so young and barely got to see her when he was alive because her mother saw Judy as her golden ticket, carting her all over. I know her father had his own fair share of troubles, but his love for Judy was not one of them. I can't imagine a world where my mother showed me no affection. Sometimes I think kids today have it too easy, but then I read about her life growing up and I think, that kids then had it too rough. Not sure where the balance is.

me to. i cannot help but fall in love with her.:( she melts my heart. soo much. when she sings. to me shes special. very special...

I mean everything -- do drama, comedy. sing, dance.

I met him in 1995.

That is a treasure

@Bull Durham Oh pumpkin, I'm sorry you felt challenged . . . That was not my intent.

@Bull Durham why u one up tho? lmao

I bet that is worth some money, not that you would ever sell it. Keep it in the family.
