[on Judy Garland] She was a friend of mine, a trying friend, but a friend. That is what I tell myself: She did everything she ever wanted to do. She never really denied herself anything for me. See, I say, she had a wonderful life; she did what she wanted...
Liza Minnelli
[on Al Jolson] The screen didn`t give him enough space to project in. I remember as a kid seeing him on stage and I think to this day there have been two great performers in the world: one is Jolson and the other is Judy Garland. They had some kind of mag...
Joan Blondell
I can do the Chipmunk voice and impressions of Judy Garland, Debbie Reynolds and Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music (1965). I could probably do the whole Von Trapp family.
Zooey Deschanel
I can`t even imagine what Hank Garland would have become had he not been in that accident. You`re talking about 40 years of lost innovation that could have come only from him.
Brad Paisley
[on Judy Garland] In some of her films she showed talent which was very comic and touching. Touching because she played with a bright smile and a great spirit, while the situation was rather dramatic, even tragic perhaps. She had in fact a quality which c...
James Mason
[on Judy Garland] The most talented woman I ever knew was Judy Garland. She was a great, great comedienne and she could do more things than any girl I ever knew. Act, sing, dance, make you laugh. She was everything. I had a great affection for her. Such a...

One day in 1960 I was going through my collection of Al Jolson and Judy Garland records, and I played Al`s "Are You Lonesome Tonight". I said, "Daddy, come listen to this. I could make it a No. 1 song". He agreed and I called Don Costa in to do the arrang...
Connie Francis
I love Judy Garland, but if a reporter were coming to my home, I wouldn`t have her music playing. A gay man loving Judy would be like a black person watching a minstrel show.
John Waters
The popular Andy Hardy" series movies were MGM`s tests for its promising stars such as Judy Garland, Lana Turner and Donna Reed. If you didn`t make it in those pictures, you were never heard from again".
Esther Williams
[on Judy Garland] She was just simply wonderful. She danced beautifully, learned beautifully. She was very adept at whatever she did. Really in fine form. We were all set to do another picture together, but she got sick and that was the end of that.
Fred Astaire
[1972 comment on Liza Minnelli] I`m annoyed when people keep comparing her to her mother [Judy Garland]. She`s nothing to do with her mother. She`s a completely different woman. The film "Cabaret" is a great hit for her and that`s all one wants.
Marlene Dietrich
Part of Emmy acceptance speech for _"Angels in America" (2003) (mini)_: "Glenn [Close] is my friend so I know she`ll forgive me, Helen Mirren is an acting god, and no one has put a better performance on film than Judy Davis in "The Judy Garland Story". Th...
Meryl Streep
In the booth where I was singing, I had inspirational posters up: Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, the Vines, Judy Garland, and of course, Nirvana. I felt like, they`ve done it, and now I`m doing it. It gave me an extra boost. (On who inspires her)
Fefe Dobson
On his life-long friend and frequent co-star, Judy Garland: "Judy turned to drugs because she was in pain and because drugs made her feel good. As one of the MGM kids, she`d been treated for most of her life to magical, instant, solutions to everything......
Mickey Rooney
[on Judy Garland] The finest all-around performer we ever had in America was Judy Garland. There was no limit to her talent. She was the quickest, brightest person I ever worked with.

Gene Kelly
You don`t know what a fanatic Judy Garland fan or an Oz fanatic is capable of. They think they want to have them, even if they have to keep them at some sort of twisted altar someplace down in the basement.
Michael Shaw
They told me it`s not going to be too hard, not too strenuous, so everything`s great, ... I lived before in Garland and Mesquite for about a year, and I liked it here, so I`m going to make my life over in Texas.
Arief Supratman
Judy Garland`s father was gay. That seems to be the consensus. They left Minnesota and went to California because he got caught with some boy backstage.
Judy Davis
Judy Garland would gain and lose a lot of weight, and because of that, she ended up having no derriere, so she had to have a prosthetic one to give her shape in some of her evening gowns. Because we`re working on a Canadian show and they`re very cheap, th...
Colin Mochrie
It`s really a grand old, legendary theatre where the spirits of like Judy Garland and all these great performers have been. The clubs are way more underground.
Deborah Cox
I believe that if we are asking the citizens of Garland to pay more in taxes for additional police officers ... we must utilize the resources that we currently have to the maximum extent possible,
