Judy cut the ribbon while standing on a tiny bridge that was painted like the yellow brick road and ran the entire length of the place. On October 1, 1966, Judy officiated the opening of an art gallery/cafe called “Yellow Brick Road” on La Cienega Blvd., in Los Angeles and posed for photos with some “Wizard of Oz” players. In September 1968 (see below) Judy and CMA came to an agreement and the suit was absolved and Judy signed a new contract. Judy and Sid Luft sued the duo and CMA on October 11, 1966, for $3 million dollars although they wouldn’t succeed in getting what was owed to them. They bilked Judy out of money that should have ensured her financial security for the rest of her life. To say that the two agents were crooks is putting it mildly. This was the agency that her agents Freddie Fields and David Begelman had started, shortly after they signed Judy in 1960. She left CMA (Creative Management Agency) in September.
She spent her time socializing as well as taking care of some business items.

Judy spent the rest of 1966 without any professional engagements. “The Miami News” ran the deadline “Judy Garland’s Rainbow Glows In The Diplomat” and continued with “Judy is singing in the Diplomat’s big Cafe Crystal and it’s a very good room for her… We’re close to her and that’s the way we want it… Requests are shouted from all corners of the nightclub, and she meets as many of them as she can.” “The Hollywood, Florida Sun-Tattler” ran the headline “Judy Lifts The Off The Seats” and continued with “Judy Garland electrified her opening night audience at the Diplomat Hotel… Miss Garland is without question, the queen of phrasing, and can get more out of the lyrics of a song than most pros… She can do no wrong, Judy being on stage generates excitement.” While in Florida, on Friday, February 4, there were rumors circulating that Judy had died – she laughed them off as she was playing golf that day before doing her show that night. Her songs included: “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands” “Almost Like Being In Love/This Can’t Be Love” “Just In Time” “Joey, Joey” “Dot It Again” “Over The Rainbow” “Rock-A-Bye Your Baby” “Chicago” and “San Francisco.” Judy’s portion of the show ran 45 minutes, and she was backed by the 26-piece Van Smith Orchestra. The room Judy played carried a $7.50 dinner charge, or a $10.00 beverage minimum. Judy returned to Florida for this engagement in Hollywood, filling in for Robert Goulet, which was originally scheduled to run through the 9th but due to her popularity, she was held over an additional day ( February 10). Also some special thanks to Kim Lundgreen, Araman DiNucci, Bobby Waters, Adrian Wild, and Leslie HIll for providing some of the images in these pages.

Much of the information and media on this page was provided by many wonderful Garland fans as well as from the collection of the author plus the many biographies and other books about Judy Garland, her peers, and film studies in general.Ī big shout out to Scott Schechter’s still invaluable 2002 book “ Judy Garland – The Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Legend” as well as newspaper online archives. That’s what Judy Garland was about, sharing her talents with the world and we, as fans, are forever grateful. Luckily for us, so many of her performances whether they be on film or via recordings have survived for us to continue to enjoy. In the end, she left us an incredible legacy of performances unequaled by any of her contemporaries. Judy had given so much of herself for so long that it seemed as though she was living on borrowed time. Her death was a shock but also half-expected. True to form she was singing for her fans up to the end. The decade closed with Judy’s untimely death on June 22, 1969, at 47 years old.

During this time she made many successful TV appearances and gave brilliant, sellout concerts including her final return to The Palace in 1967 and its extended (and grueling) concert tour. Judy Garland’s final four years were surprisingly productive, especially considering that by 1968 she was clearly not in good health and some would say was already dying. 1967 – Valley of the Dolls (unfinished).1946 – Till The Clouds Roll By (spotlight).1943 – Presenting Lily Mars (spotlight).Miscellaneous (Radio, Concerts, TV, etc.).
