Judy Garland was an icon of the screen best known for the “The Wizard of Oz,” which was filmed when she was only 16. Despite many successes at MGM studios, her career there ended when she was dismissed 12 years later. Loved by her fans, Judy Garland immediately went on to a hugely successful career outside of the movies as a concert performer.

This virtual presentation on Judy Garland, offered by the Lifelong Learning Institute at Virginia Tech, will explore her life and career until Garland’s early death at age 47 in 1969. Instructor Dan Sherman will share little-known facts about Judy and show clips that present the emotional depth she projected.
