[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...

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
[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...

[about his most famous misquoted line:] "I never actually said, `Nnng-you dirty ra-at!` What I actually said was [imitating Cary Grant]: `Judy! Judy! Judy!`"

[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...

[1954 comment on Judy Holliday] My, I like Judy Holliday! She looks like a Monet model. And she`s so -- so defenseless. I like defenseless people. They`re the best.

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
[on Judy Holliday] She was intelligent and not at all like the dumb blonds she so often depicted. She didn`t give a damn where the camera was placed, how she was made to look, or about being a star. She just played the scene -- acted with, not at. She was...
Jack Lemmon
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.

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.

I would love to make a movie for very neurotic children. But then perhaps, I`ve already done that. I`ve shown my films at children`s birthday parties. They just love them, like Punch and Judy shows.

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)

[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.
