The Big Picture Born Frances Ethel Gumm on June 10, 1922, Judy Garland would become one of the biggest film stars of her or any generation. The daughter of vaudevillian veterans, Garland began performing when she was just 2 and a half years old, taking the stage at her parents' New Grand Theatre in Minnesota and further establishing herself as a singer by age 10.
Judy Garland Was One of MGM's Biggest Stars Having signed with MGM at age 13, Judy Garland's star ascended rapidly. After making her screen debut in Every Sunday in 1936, she appeared in numerous films as a contracted actress and found fame after being paired with fellow actor Mickey Rooney in 1937's Thoroughbreds Don't Cry. One of America's most beloved on-screen duos, Garland and Rooney extended their collaboration through numerous films over the next decade.

"At times I have been pretty much of a walking advertisement for sleeping pills," Garland remembered. "Even though pills come on doctor’s prescriptions, as mine did, they can be a tremendous strain on the nervous systems.
