JUDY GARLAND: HER RARE TONY AWARD SPEECH FOR THE PALACE THEATRE ENGAGEMENT, 1952.


Extremely rare footage of Judy Garland receiving a Tony Award for her historic engagement at the Palace Theatre. I don’t think this has ever been on Youtube, or widely broadcast. This is raw, uncut footage of Judy giving her ‘Thank you’ speech. There are a few things that are particularly fascinating about it. First, Judy seems very shy & vulnerable. Normally, I try to avoid this kind of interpretation. I’m not a master of body language & speech. But THIS – THIS is a facet of Judy that while …

    Absolutely enchanting. What a pleasure to see Judy accept a great honor. Thank you so much!
    And to below –What do you mean “she was still so beautiful at this point” ? Goodness, the lady was 30 years old here, “at this point” (?). Have you seen how gorgeous she was in her 40’s on The Judy Garland Show, or later on Hollywood Palace, or Sammy Davis, or at her 67 Palace show, or on What’s My Line, or on Merv Griffen, or Johnny Carson in 68? Yes, she was “still” quite beautiful her entire life.

    What a rare find! Interesting that she was still so beautiful at this point…heavy, but lovely. So gracious and genuinely humble. Greatest talent in the world. Nobody touches her.

    I think this meant so much to JUDY because it was her only Tony win. As all of you know, she wanted “Mame” so much but it was just not feasible at the time. Thanks again for the post Darling!!!!

    Beautiful! Hey, if this was recorded in March 1952 then she was pregnant with Lorna. Her face seems to glow here, don’t you think?

    Judy looks gorgeous in this video and very grateful. She was so modest to receive the award and the nicest and sweetest. I see her vulnerability here as well. I feel like I want to give her a hug and tell her how much I love her as the wonderful gift to the world that she was.

    Helen Hayes and Judy!!! But it does bring a tear to ones eye when even at THIS point she`s so fragile…. even by then she was “touched” and on her dark journey on a yellow brick road….
