Based on Lorna Luft's (Garland's daughter) memoir, LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND is a fascinating and affecting biopic that is told from a unique point of view, thus offering a portrait of Ms. Garland that the public has never seen. The incomparable Judy Davis stars as Ms. Garland and gives possibly the best performance of her brilliant career. Spanning Garland's life from the 1930s until her death, the miniseries eschews the standard practice of depicting its flawed subject as a tragic victim of fame and instead paints an intensely real picture of Ms. Garland as a brilliant but troubled performer and a loving, if somewhat distracted mother. Originally aired on ABC, this miniseries is a startling look at Ms. Garland's astonishing life, propelled by its numerous star performances. [More]

  • Life With Judy Garland: Me And My Shadows
  • The remarkable story of Hollywood legend Judy Garland is vividly told in this widely acclaimed film, which features amazing, Emmy Award-winning portrayals by Judy Davis (Best Actress) and Tammy Blanchard (Best Supporting Actress). Loved by millions the world over, Judy was the brightest star in Hollywood's Golden Era. Away from the bright lights and brilliant performances, however, her devotion was to her family. But while she loved her children unconditionally, they could only desperately try and hang on to their mother as a powerful dependence on alcohol and prescription drugs began to consume her life. Based on the book by Garland's daughter Lorna Luft, and honored recipient of 5 Emmy Awards, LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND: ME AND MY SHADOWS is a deeply moving testament to the healing powers of embracing one's past, facing one's demons, and charting a course of self-discovery!

    Judy Davis picks up the role as a young woman (about a quarter of the way in) and delivers a Garland that is both authentic and vibrantly real.
