She is the American actress and popular Hollywood song and dance actress Judy Garren. She was born in Minnesota on June 10, 1922, and if she were alive, she would be 99 years old.
Judy Garren's parents were both comedians. Due to the influence of the family, Galen appeared on stage with his two sisters to perform a song and dance program at the age of 3. Since then, the three sisters have often been active on the stage together and have become popular singers and dancers in the audience. Later, the two sisters married one after another, leaving Galen alone to continue to perform on stage.
In 1936, at the age of 14, Galen went to Columbia Pictures to apply for an actor's examination without success. Soon after, she switched to MGM Pictures and was admitted. In the same year, she participated in the filming of the short film Every Sunday, which was Garren's first work. In the following 3 years, she participated in the filming of "Rugby Trip", "Jumping City That Never Sleeps", "Courageous People Don't Cry", "Everyone Sings", "Listen, Dear", "Love Comes to Andy Hardy" and other films. But she plays small, fleeting roles that travel through them and don't have the opportunity to show off her talent. It wasn't until 1939 that she was used by the director, playing the heroine for the first time in The Wizard of Oz. The film broke box office records for Hollywood song and dance and made 17-year-old Galen famous. Garon won the Academy Award for Special Honors for her beautiful dancing, moving singing voice and skillful acting skills. Since then, she has been active in the film industry as a song and dance star. Although Garon's body is very small, her bright eyes and slightly upturned nose are very cute. When performing, her charming singing voice and indulgent dance steps are no one else. She also has the charm and acting skills that can lead the audience's emotions to the peak at any time.
The 1940s were a time of generosity for Galen's creation. In 1944, she starred in "Find Me in Saint-Louis", which once again became a sensation in the film world. During filming, she fell in love with the film's director, Vincent Minnelly, and the two married the following year. In 1946 they had a girl named Leeds Minnelly. In 1947, Galen played her first serious role in her husband's film Pirates. In addition, she shot more than 10 films during this period: "Beauty Theater", "Broadway Babies", "Fascinated Girl", "Thousands of Cheers", "Bell", "Harvey's Girls", "Until the Clouds Roll Over", "Easter Parade", "Words and Songs", "In a Very Pleasant Summer" and more than 10 films. In the 1950s, Galen made only two films: Violet in Summer and A Star Is Born. Beginning in 1948, it was discovered that Garren's mental state had somewhat mutated. She often suffers from insomnia, a short temperament, and is obsessed with drinking alcohol, especially her personality becomes like a child, and she is very unstable. People think this is due to a bad marriage. However, after her divorce from Vincent Minnelly in 1950, her spirits showed no signs of improving. She was increasingly inseparable from sleeping pills and sedatives. For the above reasons, she had to terminate her contract with MGM, and the audience was disappointed and saddened by Galen's film.
In 1952 Garren married director Sidney Lanvert. In 1954 she played the heroine Esta in Langvert's The Birth of a Star. After the release of the film, the majority of the audience was shocked to see on the screen that Garen, who had not been filmed for 4 years, was still so fresh and beautiful, full of emotions and endless charm. The Birth of a Star brought Galen even greater fame. Unfortunately, in real life, Garren's spirits were getting worse and worse, drinking habits, frequent episodes of hypocrisy, and even legends of suicide attempts. During this time, she could no longer make films, so she had to sing songs in the tavern.
In the early 1960s, Garren was invited to perform in three films: The Nuremberg Trials, A Child Waiting, and Miracles of Love. Her performances are still fresh, moving, and artistically appealing. These three films became the last memorial left by Garron.
She is also particularly eye-catching among many stars
In 1965, Garren and his daughter Leiz Minnelly went to London to perform. On stage, however, the audience poured out great enthusiasm on their daughters and were extremely cold to their mothers. This made Galen very sad. As a result, she developed an irrepressible jealousy of her daughter. But the more she did, the worse her performance became, and later she even got mad. The perverted psychology, the heavy burden of the spirit made it difficult for her to be quiet for a while, and she had to take sedatives in large doses.
On 29 June 1969, Galen died suddenly at the age of 47 after performing a skit in a London tavern. After being examined by the doctor, it was determined that it was caused by taking too many sleeping pills.
