Editor's Take:
Judy Garland had one of the most powerful voices in show business. She began performing as a toddler with her sisters. At 16 she played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and sang Over the Rainbow. It became her signature song. MGM pushed her hard, and the pressures of fame took a heavy toll. She made a triumphant comeback in A Star Is Born in 1954. Her concert at Carnegie Hall in 1961 is legendary. She died at 47.
