Random thought

If Judy Garland had been Jewish, she’d have been able to take all the crap life dealt her and not overdose on those sleeping pills.

    But that wouldn’t of stopped her drinking and taking other drugs, like Sammy Davis Jr.

  2. The Doctor says:

    Certainly no Jew ever committed suicide…

  3. Sabba Hillel says:

    That depends if she actually acted Jewish or not. Unfortunately there are many Jews who have been corrupted by the ills of modern society and have fallen into acting just as badly.

  4. No, that’s not what I meant. She was a very fragile person when all is said and done, and that thought occurred to me while I was watching the PBS special about the Jewish influence on American music. They had a clip of her singing Yip Harburg’s “Over the Rainbow,” and that thought popped into my head.

    I just thought she’d have been less fragile if she’d come from a background of persecution. Geez, guys, random thought. Random!

    And Doc, she didn’t commit suicide. It was an accidental overdose.

  5. The Doctor says:

    I have secret papers documenting that Margaret Hamilton did her in…

    Judy Garland was Jewish. Her real name was Emma Gumm (you would have changed it, too, Meryl). Just because she was Jewish did not mean that she wasn’t a head case.

  7. No, she was not Jewish, whether or not her birth name was Frances Gumm.

    I do know a bit about her, folks. I have adored her my entire life, and read more than one biography.
