Star
Frances Ethel Gumm would one day become known around the world as Judy Garland following her appearance in the movie "Pigskin Parade", an actress, singer and performer whom Fred Astaire would describe as "the greatest entertainer who ever lived".[1] She was renowned for her voice and perhaps best known for her role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.[1] Her career as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage would span more than 40 years.
Judy appeared in Vaudeville with her two sisters as The Gumm Sisters, until the time when she was signed to MGM as a teenager.[1] It was during this time she made The Wizard of Oz, as well as more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney.[1]

Judy starred in over 35 films during her life and received numerous awards, including a Juvenile Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, several Grammys, and a special Tony Award.[1] Posthumously, Judy was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.[12] The American Film Institute placed her among the ten greatest female stars in the history of American cinema.[citation needed] Despite pain and exhaustion, Judy would continue on, soaking in the adoration of her fans.[1]
Legacy
Judy passed away June 21, 1969 at 4 Cadogan Lane, Chelsea, London, England from an accidental barbiturate overdose.[2] Her body was flown home and first laid to rest in the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, then eventually interred in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.[13][1]
