7:21
between nineteen sixty one and nineteen fifty
7:24
two making her solely responsible
7:26
for the renewal of america's premier vaudeville
7:28
theater but , was at
7:30
the beginning of the city's this
7:32
was the tail and is a decade decade
7:35
was thirty seven now she
7:37
wore almost twenty five years of showbiz
7:39
in the lines on her face most
7:42
people with deep seated fictions didn't make
7:44
it twenty seven let alone thirty seven
7:47
have , sydney yeah because of their own
7:49
cash to finance promoter performances
7:52
as judy's figure blooded further over
7:54
six for thought return it became
7:56
clear why no insurance company wants to
7:58
touch sydney
8:00
new his wife he knew or way fluctuated
8:03
who's did but something was different
8:06
this time this didn't seem like
8:08
extra pounds something was
8:10
very wrong so , devised
8:12
a plan he rang up a doctor palaces
8:14
invited him to stop backstage before so
8:17
sydney insert the doctor insert the
8:19
him and judy away from the crowds and why
8:22
was back there he needed to get a good glimpse
8:24
of juice he was to report back
8:26
to city under the radar the
8:29
doctors discreet diagnosis was
8:31
worse and sydney a match nguyen
8:33
and gained weight not in the norms
8:36
instead her body was flush
8:38
with toxic fluids and after
8:41
factor for daily pill popping the went
8:43
back to her formative years as a teenage
8:45
access that when mcm
8:47
pumped full of chemicals like a lab the
8:50
build up met that something a judas body
8:52
was functioning properly crisply
8:55
or pancreas either liver maybe
8:58
all of her condition
9:00
was so severe doctrine for city
9:02
the judy kids to cover any
9:05
moves in there was no doubt he is
9:08
the ice cream but not
9:10
as grim as with to be demanded next parents
9:14
the earth inner harbor
9:21
when she didn't try to coerce him into a cow
9:23
judy's there
9:25
was a surface smothered
9:28
inside that transatlantic as she
9:31
, going anywhere anywhere
9:34
associate a associate city
9:37
wanted to snap right back she was
9:39
a sucker for incapable class
9:43
but arguing with news city
9:46
seat too eager to mock two
9:48
years in the back
9:52
cluster drink one gloved hand and have
9:54
to carry on the shoulder this year she
9:57
instructed him to school within his hospital
10:00
and avenue and fucking stuff
10:04
you didn't slip into a coma the backseat
10:06
miraculously her liver held out for
10:08
the ride as she does it was more alcohol
10:11
more poison on top of the poison she was already
10:13
back this you weekly
10:16
sauntered into the hospital doctors drain
10:18
twenty courts of talks on
10:22
five gallons five
10:24
gallons of poison swishing
10:26
around and your body inflating her limbs
10:29
her stomach her face every
10:31
day for god knows how many months the
10:33
turns out you to deliver had grown
10:35
to four times it's normal size
10:38
undoubtedly the results to past decades
10:40
of pill and alcohol abuse judy

10:46
months the whispers on the
10:48
other hand
10:50
girl and might not make duty girl
10:53
and and already performed final show the
10:56
duty signature stubbornness resurfaced
10:59
seven weeks she pulled through perhaps
11:01
if only despite the naysayers when
11:04
he regained or strike the doctors
11:06
shared one final earth shattering
11:08
discovery he would likely never
11:11
perform again after
11:13
such a close brush with death judy
11:15
was bound to live the rest of her life as a quote
11:17
unquote semi invalid the
11:19
, was at the only time she would appear
11:21
on screen says for a rerun of the wizard
11:23
of oz oz at least it was a regular
11:26
gig in the pre table error the wizard of
11:28
oz was broadcast on cbs at least
11:30
once a year for year but
11:34
the doctors but first few
11:36
performers had ever spent more hours
11:38
on a set or on and agree she
11:42
was born far this talk
11:44
was just far short lived surprised if
11:47
anything was going to bring if the curtain to determine
11:50
it would be the one to and or license
11:53
age forty not

12:51
never knew much of anything when she jolted awake
12:53
from the smog wash to her brain courtesy
12:56
of money to snap south judy
12:58
so to speak course through her nerves
13:00
striking her lives like folks like she
13:03
, one of her braids a she meandered back
13:05
on the set set to land was
13:07
got so the literal thousands
13:09
of quote unquote munchkins frolicking
13:11
around in their glittery their mcm
13:14
staff had apparently reset the scenery
13:17
for the wizard of oz you want to do so
13:19
peacefully on so sidelines so

13:35
twists back when judy garland
13:37
first think the contract the studio and
13:39
nineteen thirty five she was a
13:41
perfectly healthy thirteen year old she a
13:43
taste for pistachio ice cream for
13:46
perfectly healthy just wouldn't do

13:53
resist the studio had strict
13:56
orders from really be mayor and south groom
13:58
that girl and slimmer the studio
14:00
began a regiment of daily diet else for judy
14:02
which was
14:05
every single hot
14:09
sticky brought in the dry town for see
14:11
so much for dinner on christmas

practically torch but it was tortured
14:16
the provided results and louis mer
14:19
was all about though when
14:22
duty send out the constant stream
14:24
of suits and pills didn't slow down a
14:27
diminutive lady like figure was a top priority
14:30
it's mcm like

15:12
he gave of course a vicious cycle practically
15:14
overnight judy needed downers
15:16
to overpower the purse she reached
15:25
mgm saw the cyclist so effective
15:27
that they started using them with all the course to respond
15:30
to rest on a set needs to be changed the middle
15:32
sixteen hour days if there were two
15:34
or three hours to spare and judy was wide
15:36
eyed and he does that mean it was time
15:38
to metaphorically trips through some poppy fields
15:40
on the way to ask ourselves when

28:29
with that run time and one hundred and eighty two minutes
28:31
movie theaters could always show the film three times
28:34
per
28:35
so they demanded a shorter cut and
28:37
cut it could show five times every day to
28:39
sell more tickets bringing more moviegoers
28:41
with more cash warner brothers
28:43
wanted to see more ticket sales to since the
28:46
film because some six million dollars
