It should have been Judy Davis. Sure, Garland was 47 when she died, and Renee is 48, but Renee looks great and Garland could have passed for 70! Or 90!
No, really, here she is in her mid-forties,

It should have been Judy Davis. Davis is always totally brilliant, and so what if she's 62. She still looks too young and vigorous for the role.
It's weird, I'm impressed with certain stills, or shots of her sitting alone, or her side view. But straight on, I don't
see an unhealthy Judy Garland.
Vocally, she sounds more like Shirley MacLaine!! The phrasing is all wrong.
The actor playing the slimy Mickey Deans looks TOO sweet and nice.
Zellweger IS a talented actress, so it will be interesting to see the reviews.
God only knows what Garland's children will think.
Zellweger?! She lacks the gravitas to play a legend. Zellweger has the gravitas of a fluffernuter.
shareThat picture of Garland in the op is so sad. I never realised how emaciated she was towards the end of her life. Brings a tear to the eye.
shareBlame her plastic surgeon.

That's terrible for Judy if perhaps unsurprising. But actually, I was referring to Zellweger.
shareHello. The post above yours was talking about how bad Garland looked at the end. So, I wasn't sure who your post was referring to.
I just wanted to put those facts out there, because there is so much misinformation going around about Garland that people take as gospel. Better to know the facts.
Have a good day.
I thought she was very good. But then I went on YouTube to find the late TV footage of Garland and thought how unlike they are - especially the eyes. But to be fair Judy Garland was unique and no amount of makeup or prosthetics will produce that effect. So I guess you cannot begin to judge the performance on appearances - only on the impression left - which loops me back to - I thought she was pretty good.
shareSounds all wrong too.
