- Hollywood — and Renée Zellweger — brought the iconic actress Judy Garland's life to the big screen with "Judy." Zellweger's portrayal of the legend even landed her an Oscar nomination for best actress.
- The film takes viewers through the last few months of Garland's life in 1969, but there is a lot more to "The Wizard of Oz" star than her final moments.
- She started acting as a toddler — at the demand of her parents, who wanted their three daughters to be stars, according to a book by Randy L. Schmidt — and continued on in the world of showbiz until she died at the age of 47.
- The New York Times has described Garland's life as "a fruitless search for the happiness promised in 'Over the Rainbow,'" and her personal story is one filled with substance abuse, mental-health concerns, marriage and divorce, and a custody battle.
- In her review, the Insider entertainment correspondent Kirsten Acuna said "Judy" — which is based on the play "End of the Rainbow" — "never shows you enough of Garland's life and will probably leave you wanting to head to Google" for more.
- The following 33 photos tell the story of Garland's life from birth to her tragic death.
