Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm) was a legendary actress and singer from the 1930s until her passing in 1969. She was born in 1922, and as a young child performed with her older sisters as "The Gumm Sisters". In 1935, she was signed to a contract by MGM, who changed her name to Judy Garland. She appeared in some shorts, but in 1937, at Clark Gable's birthday party, she sang "You Made Me Love You", which was filmed, and got her noticed, and her role as Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" gave her great fame. She appeared in "Ziegfeld Girl" in 1941, and "For Me and My Gal" in 1942, and she appeared in a series of popular musicals with Mickey Rooney. Her personal life was very messy, with many affairs and problems with drugs and alcohol. She married director Vincente Minnelli in 1945, and in 1946 had daughter Liza. She went on to another marriage to Sid Luft, and the remainder of her life was very troubled, but she continued to perform, including giving two excellent film performances in "Judgment at Nuremberg" (where she was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award) and "A Child is Waiting". Some of her other movies include: Meet Me in St. Louis, A Star Is Born (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and many more. She passed away in 1969 at the age of 47 AND Mickey Rooney was a leading child star starting in the 1920s, becoming the top juvenile actor in America in the 1930s, and he continued with a series of movies with Judy Garland in the 1940s. His career spanned every decade, with Rooney working until his death in 2014. Some of his movies include: The Bold & The Brave (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Human Comedy (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Black Stallion (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Breakfast at Tiffany's, Captains Courageous, Babes In Arms (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and National Velvet AND Busby Berkeley was born in 1895. He was a Broadway choreographer in the 1920s, but when sound came to movies, it was natural to make musicals, and when Eddie Cantor was making Whoopee in 1930, he hired Berkeley to choreograph the dance numbers. Musicals took off in 1933, and in that year alone Berkeley choreographed 42nd Street, Gold Diggers of 1933, Footlight Parade, and Roman Scandals! That same year he also got a chance to completely direct a movie, and by the late 1930s he was directing musicals and non-musicals, while still doing lots of choreography on other movies. Berkeley is likely best remembered for the elaborate overhead shots of dancers (performing dances which only made sense when viewed from above), which became his "trademark" and which was included in almost all his musicals. In his early 1930s musicals, many of the dancers wore incredibly skimpy outfits, sometimes only covered by props of one sort or another. In the late 1930s musicals became less popular, but Berkeley helped somewhat revive them with the Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney ones in the early 1940s, and with the Esther Williams ones in the early 1950s (where he staged remarkable dance-like sequences in and under the water!).
