“Don’t Let Them Do to You What They Did to Me” said Judy later in her life.

[generalirons]

“The pattern was already set”

Christ those are some haunting words

[mikankitsune]

Hearing Judy sing *Somewhere Over the Rainbow* when she was older and had lived through all of this misery, is honestly so sad. It doesn't sound hopeful, its mourning and full of longing.

[klavczarkalafan]

In addition to the mother being abusive, so was MGM. The level of control it took from her.

[teyalooney]

It brings me comfort to know that, despite the example of motherhood laid out for her growing up, Judy Garland went on to be well loved by her daughter Liza Minelli

[alim.]

Judy Garland went through hell dude. Everyone around her treated her like a commodity. Hope she's resting in peace now

[KW-desc]

That poor woman went through more hell than anybody should.

[philtkaswahl]

Sad thing is those types of parents still exist and still get away with it because unless too much media attention has been drawn to it to ignore, the entertainment industry will just sweep such things under the rug.

[ShontaySmith-krth]

This one broke my heart, she was so innocent and pure and her own "mother" screwed her up so much that she never recovered and died early

[Ciarax]

Calling her an “ugly duckling” is crazy! She is literally one of the most beautiful actress’s from the 40’s! I remember I’d watch wizard of oz quite frequently as a child and I was absolutely enamored with her beauty.

[louthegiantcookie]

It's a terrible thing when a parent tries to live vicariously through their child, using them to realize their own lost dreams and ambitions.

In this series full of warlords and criminals, you know it's gonna be bad when a theater mom shows up

[girl]

Ethel died alone in the parking lot of the Douglas Aircraft Company of a heart attack.
Strange since this lady didn't have a heart

[judahnorman]

Not to mention she was one of many young female celebrities who was SA’d by many of the older men in Hollywood. 💔

[HTFFanOfFlaky]

Lets not sugarcoat it. She didn't merely pass away. She was killed

[izusoda]

calling judy garland ‘ugly’ is actually insane

[Pawnlake]

Pushing your daughter over her limit just to be a star isnt worth it

[richarddavis]

When I was visiting Hollywood I randomly decided to cross the street to look at a vintage clothing store, walked a few steps, looked down and there was Judy's star. It was like her spirit drew me there. I knelt down said a prayer and sent my message of love to her out to the universe. I don't care if it sounds crazy I consider Judy to be a personal guardian angel. She never felt like enough in life but she is so LOVED and she knows it now 💖

[leemccready]

The worst part is that the mother saw no reprocussion. Absolutely no justice for the life that she ruined.

[danielsantiagourtado]

Poor judy. God bless all the mothers not like hers.
