Wed gather around and watch.
I didnt know about any of the challenges that she was grappling with later in her life.

Among Garland devotees, the singers wildly erratic gigs there sometimes brilliant, often disastrous are legendary.
The following year, on June 22, Garland died of an accidental overdose.
That there are omissions.
Zellweger couldnt be more different from Garland, but shes already proved herself to be a chameleon.
In 2003, her role as strong-willed Ruby inCold Mountainwon her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Her joy and her wit and her kindness and her humor never left.
She was wildly funny.
I went down the rabbit hole and I stayed there, Zellweger says.
She was always there in headphones, at night, there was always something to go to sleep with.
I wanted to feel her essence around and then tell a human story, not mimicry.
Zellweger even adopts Garlands slumped posture, something helped by her costumes.
Louis B. Mayer would refer to her as his little hunchback, says the actress.
I worked with Jany Temime who did these gorgeous costumes and she fit them to that stance.
So if I didnt stand like that, the dress wouldnt fit [laughs]!
As for the awards buzz, Zellweger is trying her best to tune it out.
Im just not aware of this stuff, she says.
Never mind that for now.
And you thought Toto was a handful.
