I think the sad thing about Judy Garland's career is that it was kind of "taken over" as a "gay icon" thing. She appeared in two classic American movies, "Wizard of Oz" and "Meet me in St. Louis" (the most popular movie among GI's during WWII). She was gypped out of an Oscar for both "A Star is Born" and "Judgement at Nuremberg". She probably should have been nominated for "The Clock" and "A Child is Waiting".
But it was probably her singing talents that did her in. Because of her brilliant singing, she was typecast in "musical comedy". She was actually the first pick for "The Three Faces of Eve", but was going through her own battles with drugs and mental illness. I think if she hadn't been taken over as an "icon", she would have been looked at in a more serious way.
At work, I was talking to a young engineer who asked me about which old movies would I recommend. He had never heard of Spencer Tracy, Humfrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn, Richard Burton or John Wayne from your list. He only knew Elizabeth Taylor as a woman who sold "perfume". But he knew Judy Garland from the "Wizard of Oz". Even his own kids love that movie and he said they watch the DVD over and over again.
What that showed me is how fleeting fame.

Ugh...Meryl Streep. That broad has phoned in the same performance in every movie she's ever done. WTF is her popularity about? Acting is more than a crappy foreign accent and that insipid dripping tear thing she does.
So, the "Devil Wears Prada" and "Death Becomes Her", both comedies, are the "same performance"?
