And across the room, on my library shelf are about 35 vials of pills. You know the shame of it is she didn't do this to herself. She was given Amphetamines and Barbiturates first by her mother and then by the studio. So you end up with a 13 year old with a dependency problem. By this time in her life getting her sober would have undoubtedly killed her. So I think all the doctors in her life knew that it would be easy to keep her medicated than to detox her.
Now, you see and hear here, compared to some of the audio recordings on similar RUclips videos, that she is very calm and has her wit about her. Not irritable and volatile like she was in some of the other ones. Of course she slurred. But anyone would after so many years of being addicted to the meds she was constantly on. She was a good woman, regardless.
I'm cracking up! I was expecting this serious talk about why this and why that and she starts with "Well, this is strange, talking to this nazi machine to myself late at night" LuLz!
I'm glad she made this. Good for you Judy! I'm happy you were honest, no matter how uncomfortable it may have been!!! I really do love and appreciate you even more than b4
She is being honest and sincere yet some people try to insinuate she was either drunk or high on drugs ! She sure as hell wasn't a junkie she was on medication from doctors that's all I wish people would remember this , and listen to a lady nearing the end of her life trying to reach out for help !!!
Paul Simpson some people are just jerks about this kind of thing. they hear her slurring and think it's funny, and not that she may or may not have a serious problem. i hope she at least got a bit of catharsis from bearing her soul like that.
I think she was a bit hazy from the barbiturates she was dependent upon to sleep. It was one of the injustices of her life that people often mistook the effects of those pills, her "medication" as she referred to them, for drunkenness. Sad and unfair.
Several times during these short minutes, she states that she's "alone, as usual". What a crime! This beautiful woman gave her life to be a source of joy and happiness and music to young and old. It's massively heartbreaking that she finds herself with NO ONE who REALLY cares.....alone. I love Judy more than ever 💘.
I am tired of people saying she is drunk or,high too Paul, she wasn't , she was given medication, different medications because they didn't know how to treat bipolar back then, and she became addicted to them , these tapes are more of her getting things off her chest then telling her life story
yes, people need to just sit back and enjoy her magic, they worry too much about her personal life, which at this point doesnt matter, she is gone, she gave us 120 percent, and got so little back
Well, some of us are tired of people like you who remain blind to the self-destructive, pathetic drug addict mess that Judy Garland turned into. Your fawning is not the same as loving devotion. It's why she went to an early grave, possibly nearly insane.
+Clare Quilty, Yes Judy had a drug problem. Sleeping pills, wake-up pills, pep pills, more pep pills, all purchased with PERSCRIPTIONS or the studio. It is said that Judy NEVER took a street drug in her life. She didn't get herself addicted, those who were suppose to watch over her and do what was BEST FOR HER when she was a young rising star, didn't care WHAT it took, just as long as it got her in front of the camera. She was a piece of property, not a person. And unfortunately her addiction was on again, and off again. I also understand that on a few occasions she went cold turkey and kicked the physical habit. But, when thinks got bad, she mentally caved in. AND YES I'M A LIFE LONG FAN, AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE ALWAYS SUGGESTING THAT SHE'S HIGH. IT'S AS THOUGH YOU ARE WALLOWING IN PROBLEMS. A that's not being a fan, that's being perverted.
"I have the tenacity of a praying mantis" -she could be so funny and self deprecating, even in extremis. Wonderful stream of consciousness chat. I don't think she was drunk, as some have insinuated, but rather a bit hazy with the sleeping pills she was dependent on, and which eventually killed her. These recordings are very poignant, and they give us an insight into what it might have been like to be on the other end of one of the through-the-night phone calls she made to friends and associates.
Lol I adore Judy Garland! I started in radio in the 1980s a lot of times I felt the same way when I was doing production working with the reel-to-reel machines haha LOL then came Automation and the computer technology which change the whole radio industry Etc I just adore her stream of consciousness speaking, God bless her may she rest in peace!
This woman was very intelligent. Even though she was asked to use a tape recorder, she decided what she was going to do and say because someone would decide to upload them and profit from them. At least she’d get the last word I suppose. The industry we see is not reality. It’s mostly fabricated. She was tired of it.
It's not as eccentric as it sounds. The Germans had pioneered reel to reel tape recorders. During the Nazi era their Magnetophons had such good sound quality that Hitler used to record speeches and have them broadcast as if they were live. Judy knew a thing or two!
The CBS Exeutives in the 1960's while doing her TV Show did more damage and was more cruel to Judy Garland than was ever the case with her early days under L. B. Mayer at MGM.
if you read coyne steven sanders book on the the last taping day of her cbs tv show /she was sued by syd luft / mel torme that day/ her managers were in NYC with streisand ( but a nice thank you from manger fields and begleman like we sorry it ended this way heres your money for the show/ fields and begleman should have said thank you for making us rich / being there might have helped her that day/ ) , maybe more begleman than fields/ sounds like my workplace/ HA / nothing ever changes in life it just goes on ha! / r and then some douche bag named hunt stromberg jr sent her a card with flowers saying you tried, but your through/ jim aubrey called her names awful names behind her back/ if that is true from his research this is a cruel way to treat that american icon we praised today /but other people / THE press incLUDED / tried to stone her like the woman Jesus saved. / i am starting to think somepeople were truly jealous of her talent/despite her substance use disorder/ she tried to help and be kind and supportive of other stars s and people I ihave read , OF CoURSE I DONT KNOW FROM FRST HAND KNOWElDGEi/ do not know/ / she's been dead for 50 years /she was born in another century/ she probably would not have given me the time of day in her world. but i gotta telly as a one of those " recovoing peopl" i wish me and one tother friend of mine could have have five minute with her but the world wold hav had to hav ben upside dose and it not it spins on/ she was trying to just survive/ but i am still touched by her story/ because she was just hurting. period/ peopl are so damn judgmental / LUFT tried/ i read he might have taken her to NA/ AA MEETINGs HUSH HUSH/ i guess he did love her/but i do not understand what the crap he did with her money she made when SHE was working AND HE MANAGED// why not pay the damn taxes on the house/ she was bringing in the income/ LUFt WAS SETTING UP THE DEALs/ ANY WIFE would have been pissed off if there qas no money/ , LUFT he loved/her but he left her broke like begleman and fields / she is reasonable IN THIS here/ I WISH to God she would have written her book . MIGHT HAVE MADE HER HAVE SOME MoNEY/ A FAN TO THIS DAY/jackie south side/ chicago.
In these comments we can see that the Garland fanboys have no sense of perspective. She's not charming or funny here; these are the incoherent ramblings of a self-indulgent, spoiled, pampered movie star who has become a hopeless addict. She was nobody's victim but her own.
Hey STORM, you are so out of line. Your stupidity is showing. If you don't like Judy, that's fine, because Judy probably wouldn't like you either. Spoiled, they worked her to death, then gave her pep pills after pep pills and wouldn't let her eat anything but broth. Pep pills and no food, that doesn't sound like spoiled, or pampered to me. It sounds like child abuse. This stuff started at 13 or 14. So go take a flying leap, you jerk.
I WILL forever HATE Sid Luft: he used Judy for money until the day he died! ALL she was to him was a cash cow. I hate how Lorna and he try to act like he loved Judy so; all he did was sell her out and to continue trying to to make money off her CBS show. Sid Luft is in hell for EVERYTHING he did to poor Judy. My Abuelito was a carpenter for M-G-M from the silents-we were “honored guests” to the famous M-G-M auction in ‘69. I remember seeing Judy’s ruby slippers. He used to regale us with stories of how Joan Crawford always brought him Christmas gifts 🎁 and learned some Spanish to speak with him. He was sooo impressed she did this for him!!!! My Abuelito was buried at the FIRST motion picture workers cemetery in Culver City, Candelario Apodaca!!!! I’m honored to be a part of that world 🌍!!

Reminds me of someone i know...

Not irritable and volatile like she was in some of the other ones. Of course she slurred. But anyone would after so many years of being addicted to the meds she was constantly on.

LMAO at the part when she goes "i wonder if syd lufts mother made these machines..she made syd..she spawned him somewhere in the red sea i think"
daimdar Nazi Machine!
Keep talking day slurring...
Sad Lufts mother lol
Webster...madison..mmmh..
Judy was comical & even here she knows she is being cute & funny. Judy could come up with some hilarious statements.
This woman is a genius and absolutely hilarious!!!
Her laugh after 'that makes you feel kinda dumb' is so cute.
I'm cracking up! I was expecting this serious talk about why this and why that and she starts with "Well, this is strange, talking to this nazi machine to myself late at night" LuLz!
judy garlands grace and charm will always live inthat wich is gracefull and beautifull
I think Judy is amazing...not many people could have dealt with everything that she was going through. She was an angel...a good soul.
I'm glad she made this. Good for you Judy! I'm happy you were honest, no matter how uncomfortable it may have been!!!
I really do love and appreciate you even more than b4
Her laugh after she says 'I feel kinda dumb' is so cute
Oh yes, Judy... SO interesting!
I’m so glad she made these recordings!
It's very surreal hearing someone speak like this that's not part of a film/acting, I've never heard someone speak with this accent(?) irl
She is being honest and sincere yet some people try to insinuate she was either drunk or high on drugs !

@@joeyjosephs Beautifully stated !!
Pep pills were basically crystal meth

this is giving me strong urges to try and help figure out the tape machine for her. like she's a drunken aunt of mine or something. haha
I often have a hard time figuring out some of those irritating machines, and I don't take drugs or drink.

Guys, it's a joke. She's joking that it's a Nazi machine. Nothing more.
It's not as eccentric as it sounds. The Germans had pioneered reel to reel tape recorders. During the Nazi era their Magnetophons had such good sound quality that Hitler used to record speeches and have them broadcast as if they were live. Judy knew a thing or two!
Lol! God love her.I think this was Good Therapy.
Judy
These tapes remind me of Rich Evans.
Obvious Nazi Machine. Gonna use that all 2020 longgg ayooo
The CBS Exeutives in the 1960's while doing her TV Show did more damage and was more cruel to Judy Garland than was ever the case with her early days under L. B. Mayer at MGM.
So they were both cruel to her got it. We don't give a pass to one asshole just because we know of a bigger asshole. They are all still assholes
where is the pic from?
@jfgil09...The Judy Garland Show =)
interesting...two people on lethal doses of barbiturates

What is this? Are u trying to project a negative image of this amazing god gifted woman n star....

So are we to accept you as being the arbiter of what's funny and charming?
I thought this was a little funny and I also thinks she’s charming
