Anne Hathaway to play Judy Garland
Funny, I was just thinking today about renaming this blog "Get Happy" in honor of Judy Garland and then came across this fantastic news!
I am so excited that a new film is going to be made about Frances Gumm. I've watched "Me and My Shadows" numerous times and recently just found an ancient copy of the old "Rainbow" TV bio film that came out when I was a kid. I've watched them over and over and over.
In reality, neither of them are really very good. I almost think watching "A Star Is Born" is a more realistic portrayal of the emotional side of Judy. But, a REAL, full length, feature film is great news! I've read several different biographies of Judy and am excited about this new film because it is using some of her unpublished autobiography. The film is based on Gerald Clarke's biography "Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland" I have not read this biography, I need to get busy.
Anne Hathaway is musically talented and did a great job portraying Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins on SNL, I hope she will do a great job as Judy too!
CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO BE MADE, RELEASED, AND TO WATCH IT A MILLION TIMES!
