In a cultural moment when both Rene Zellweger and Lady Gaga have both won Academy Awards by invoking the icon of singer-actress Judy Garland, it's time to give you the real thing; from her early years in the hardly-famous "Gumm Sisters" singing trio, to her rise up the ladder of Hollywood stardom with classic movie musicals like The Wizard of Oz and Meet Me in St. Louis, to her triumphant final act before tragically passing away at the age of 47.
Join New York Adventure Club as we uncover the life of showbiz legend Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm), who at barely five feet tall, established herself as a giant of the entertainment industry, and of the larger American culture.
Led by Grammy-nominated Wall Street Journal columnist Will Friedwald, our virtual exploration into the life and legacy of Judy Garland will include:
Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Will — any and all questions about Judy Garland are welcomed and encouraged!
