As good as a place as any to.....

point out just how pedestrian Judy Garland is - acting, singing (mannerisms - she did have a fine voice), and dancing. Other than the Wizard of Oz and few of those Andy Hardy movies she has glazed eyes. Obviously the days she actually showed up she was dazed and confused. And it has to be faced that she looks like Don Knotts with long hair. I just never have understood how she was such a favorite. It just goes to show the average person was just as undiscerning back in the day as they are now.

Some people are afraid of the unknown. I don't know why, and it scares me.

Wow. You must've been deprived of a LOT of oxygen at birth. Garland
was brilliant (Streisand and Sinatra are her only singing peers, and she
was a much better actor than both of them put together). She was also
"a good dancer" (Gene Kelly's words). I also thought she was quite
fetching in this and in other movies. I can certainly see why someone
wouldn't like her, but to be unable to identify such a talent really
makes you look fairly stupid.

The OP is a perfect example of what happens when people with extremely low IQs mate and reproduce. It's a tragedy.
