Here’s a tribute to the multi-talented Judy Garland — mother of three, wife of five — whom you never knew. She began her career at age 2 1/2 in vaudeville. Never wanted to sing “Over the Rainbow” as an adult. Married five times. Recorded over 1,000 songs in her lifetime. Starred in countless movies for MGM and other studios. Died in London at age 47 and one week of a possible overdose of barbiturates.
