I met Mickey Divinko in the late 80′s, i worked for a chimney company company in cleveland, ohio and was sent out to the Franklin castle to redo (3) fire places laying new fire brick in the fire box area, he had Judy Garlands photos all over the place, he owned several homes in cleveland, in which i would do side masonry work for him, there was always people at the house, cameras all over, its a shame the castle caught fire, i wonder if it was intentional.

Very difficult to read..I don’t blame her friends for boycotting her wedding, really, because likely they all knew Deans was bad for her..(Only Sid Luft had the Love and Knowledge enough to Really HELP, and he did for a long time ).. Mickey Deans “fed” her habit” and it was exactly the WRONG thing to do! But she Lives Forever, courtesy her Beautiful Music and Films, and she will NEVER be forgotten! XO

Judy Garland will be remembered as many things… a singer, an entertainer, an actress, a hero, an inspiration whatever. But we forget that she was a person. She made mistakes, yeah, so what haven’t you? As another reader you might think she messed up big time, would hate to be her. But the reality is no one has a perfect life. I mean what you read isn’t always true. I bet you would be ashamed to see people making cruel remarks about how your life turned out. Have some respect for the Woman, she took what she had and lived with it. Most of us didn’t even know her, we know of her and she is in our hearts as a voice people looked up to, so why judge her than rather see her as you or me. That’s what breaks my heart, because if you ever got to meet her i bet almost all of those who place her as this monster would not have the guts to say anything like that to her face. Why do you think she did what she did…the same reason you do what you do. So she made mistakes but she had one heck of a life, that most of us couldn’t compare to. But throughout her pain she found a strength to keep her going, a strength some of us have not found yet. All i’m trying to say is don’t say crap about this woman, she lived and died, she’s laughed and cried. She’s had her up’s and down’s. But through it all she kept going, doing what she loved, what we treasure. I don’t know about you, but she’s the reason I got inspired. I have my own mistakes, and i’m not gonna waste my life looking for someone else to judge rather than fix my own mistakes, and be remembered as someone who loved than as someone who hated. Judy is forever loved by me, even if it’s just me.

I remember Judy Garland marrying Micky Dean’s in 1969 and her sad death not long afterwards I believe she was married at least 3 times before that marriage. Judy i thought looked ill in the news footage very thin and frail looking much older than her 40′s. Judy Garland i think was a good entertainer but sadly for whatever reason she went downhill both in her mind and body. The drink and drugs all took there toll. Her death is still some speculation did she kill herself or was it an accident. I think Judy was a tormented soul but she always if she could give her audiences a great show which people still admire her for even today. I wonder if Micky Deans is still alive now perhaps he still is hopefully. Judy’s death must have been a great blow for him so early in their marriage.

This is only a rumour about judy being taken out off the house over someone’s arm I do wish people wouldn’t put out these things also it says deans went to look for judy and couldn’t find her and went to bed ! What crap read Mickey deans book and he tells how he went to bed with the start of flu and when he got into bed judy was still awake and complained that she too had a sore throat ! So please get things right ! .

Louis B Mayer was despised so much by the “stars” whom he totally controlled, that there were jokes around like “You had to queue up to hate him” and “I only went to his funeral to make sure he was dead”. Nice man.

Just watched last night a doccie movie on Judy Garland adapted from her daughter’s Lorna Luft’s book. So here I am searching info on her.
Yes, Judy was one of those keep- going songress and actress.
A great pity, she succummed to drugs and lived the life of one of those
femme fatalle stars.
OVER THE RAINBOW WILL ALWAYS BE ASSOCIATED WITH HER.
everytime , I hear it, it reminds of the Golden hoolywood era And of course Judy. Thank you, Judy for putting a smile on our faces.
