55 years ago Judy Garland died at 47; Liza cried for 8 days
55 years ago today, Judy Garland died in London. She was found in the bathroom after taking too many sleeping pills. Liza Minnelli cried nonstop for 'about eight days'.
Eventually she had no choice but to accept the truth, at which point she began to sob and 'didn’t stop for about eight days. It was just devastating to me.'
Garland welcomed her firstborn child with the legendary filmmaker Vincente Minnelli, who was the second of her five husbands.
Having witnessed her mother's rollercoaster battle with addiction, Liza Minnelli at first steered clear of drugs and alcohol herself.
However in the 1970s, when she had become an internationally recognized star, she took her first drink at the Hollywood hot spot Trader Vic's.

Judy was one of the most talented singers ever. She also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout her life. Despite that, she had a good heart, which is hard to encounter in Hollywood. At a time when gay people were oppressed beyond belief, they identified with her struggles and she theirs.

I was five years old when she died. I remember it was on the news - I didn't really know who they were talking about or what had happened, just that something sad happened. My grandmother explained who she was - Dorothy in The Wizard of OZ, but I really didn't know what 'death' was. And i couldn't understand how this older lady was the young girl in 'OZ'.

What was her big pain? They made her sing some songs in the movies?
