Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist and on the concert stage. Respected for her versatility, she received a Juvenile Academy Award, won a Golden Globe Award, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her work in films, as well as Grammy Awards and a Special Tony Award.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter appearing in vaudeville with her sisters, Garland was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. There she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney and the 1939 film with which she would be most identified, The Wizard of Oz. After 15 years, Garland was released from the studio but gained renewed success through record-breaking concert appearances, including a critically acclaimed Carnegie Hall concert, a well-regarded but short-lived television series and a return to acting beginning with a critically acclaimed performance in A Star Is Born (1954).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite her professional triumphs, Garland battled personal problems throughout her life. Insecure about her appearance, her feelings were compounded by film executives who told her she was unattractive and manipulated her on-screen physical appearance. Garland was plagued by financial instability, often owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes. She married five times, with her first four marriages ending in divorce. Garland died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 47, leaving children Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joey Luft.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the ten greatest female stars in the history of American cinema.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Judy+Garland","playStationPath":"/stations/113301477/play","stationId":113301477,"bioPath":"/music/Judy+Garland/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Patsy+Cline","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8b5/8b5f18e5f1799b54deeea1eb216ed3d2_md.jpg","artistName":"Patsy Cline","artistId":593,"station_id":113268141},{"musicPath":"/music/Cole+Porter","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1a7/1a7d3051101c84b70870b7c8c4a5a9e5_md.jpg","artistName":"Cole Porter","artistId":13182,"station_id":113304667},{"musicPath":"/music/Sammy+Davis+Jr+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/01f/01f3fb3e14b6d9631b1b3e29456d787a_md.jpg","artistName":"Sammy Davis Jr.","artistId":660,"station_id":113289452},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Crystals","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/696/696856067a7d74915f8c1262a1ae918f_md.jpg","artistName":"The Crystals","artistId":3148,"station_id":113759759},{"musicPath":"/music/Dick+Haymes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/76b/76b0211dd26340a613c339d7ac90a4ff_md.jpg","artistName":"Dick Haymes","artistId":65786,"station_id":264005367},{"musicPath":"/music/Louis+Armstrong","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2ed/2ed51911a223b4064d099d94a9087426_md.jpg","artistName":"Louis Armstrong","artistId":509,"station_id":113266523},{"musicPath":"/music/Margaret+Whiting","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9c5/9c56707e2a245dea3fc10e9a59fd1c67_md.jpg","artistName":"Margaret Whiting","artistId":8179,"station_id":114527822},{"musicPath":"/music/Michael+Buble","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/667/66747ab433e1c738e843fedc703f3244_md.jpg","artistName":"Michael Buble","artistId":1566,"station_id":113266531},{"musicPath":"/music/Tina+Turner","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/479/479928a3f7df54bbb3ad54ffb1835bf9_md.jpg","artistName":"Tina Turner","artistId":1615,"station_id":113261785},{"musicPath":"/music/Al+Bowlly","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9a2/9a271569ba5fe88e7c066092fd5cbeb0_md.jpg","artistName":"Al Bowlly","artistId":107239,"station_id":281862362},{"musicPath":"/music/Mel+Torme","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3f7/3f7416a686a6851650c11ba56d2da0ea_md.jpg","artistName":"Mel Tormé","artistId":7473,"station_id":113300051},{"musicPath":"/music/Judy+Collins","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/937/937f6680622749b292ecb0db3de4bb7f_md.jpg","artistName":"Judy Collins","artistId":8080,"station_id":113399855},{"musicPath":"/music/Dionne+Warwick","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/975/97529cf76c13c6784dd323d2c982975e_md.jpg","artistName":"Dionne Warwick","artistId":328,"station_id":113303818},{"musicPath":"/music/George+Gershwin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0cd/0cd77c6d39cc2e060052aea4468002ab_md.jpg","artistName":"George Gershwin","artistId":5080,"station_id":113277491},{"musicPath":"/music/Eddie+Fisher","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/126/126f360b18a1c6b5dce6e027e278ca0b_md.jpg","artistName":"Eddie Fisher","artistId":87710,"station_id":307932970},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Drifters","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c80/c8011f67897aa7feae6fa004383de822_md.jpg","artistName":"The Drifters","artistId":2884,"station_id":113262932},{"musicPath":"/music/Edith+Piaf","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/414/414298b5d7bd116f707a543de6f90740_md.jpg","artistName":"Édith Piaf","artistId":354,"station_id":113264726},{"musicPath":"/music/Liza+Minnelli","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/29f/29f056db52c6cce276c8034bb3c54603_md.jpg","artistName":"Liza Minnelli","artistId":62278,"station_id":262610061}]}
