- TriviaIn January 2017, Judy's coffin was removed from the mausoleum at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York and sent to Los Angeles, California's Hollywood Forever Cemetery for a private family crypt. The decision of relocating Judy's coffin came from her children since there was no room in her burial spot for her children to join her. Her children purchased a large family crypt to ensure they would be laid to rest with their mother. Coincidently, she was laid to rest in the same cemetery as her childhood friends and costar Mickey Rooney.

- Quotes
Judy Garland: Uninsurable? Uh-huh?... of course I can do eight shows a week, I did eight shows a day in vaudeville... well even the greatest performer in the world can occasionally catch a cold and miss a performance! Let me tell you something: I have been in show business for forty years. That's thirty-five movies, six hundred radio shows, seventeen hundred concerts...! Difficult? Yes, I've heard how difficult it is to work with Judy Garland, do you know how difficult it is to *be* Judy Garland? I've been trying to be Judy Garland all my life!
- Alternate versionsThe DVD version of the film has a number at the Palace theatre removed from the body of the film, but is retained as an extra feature on the disc.

Featured review
Lorna Luft wrote and produced this epic tale of her mother Judy Garland's often-tragic life in the spotlight.
Frances Gumm starts her life out becoming an actress and singer. She changes her name to Judy Garland and signs a contract with MGM studios who promise her a big break.
That break comes in the form of Dorothy Gale in The Wizard Of Oz. But fame comes at a price. Addictions to drugs and alcohol plus failed marriages and piles of debt leave Judy sprialling out of control.
It's the touching true story of Judy Garland. From her humble beginnings to her dramatic end, this is quite simply, brilliant.
Tammy Blanchard, who plays the younger Judy Garland is so much like her, it's not even funny - and her acting is fantastic, also. 9/1O
