Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows Quotes

Cynthia Gibb as Narrator

• (Cynthia Gibb) "It's hard to be a legend's child. She's everywhere I turn like a shadow. It's remarkable, really, how much of our life begins before we're even born. I wonder sometimes what might have happened to us all if mama had just stayed Baby Frances Gumm -- but she wasn't allowed to. She became Judy Garland. She became a legend."

• (Cynthia Gibb) "It broke Mama's heart when CBS cancelled The Judy Garland Show. So, in the finest Gumm family tradition, we packed up our trunks and took the family act back out on the road. Mama had to keep working to pay off her debts, but work required more than she had left, and that meant more amphetamines to carry her through."

• (Cynthia Gibb) "It hurts when your mother is too sick to take care of you. My mother was handed her first dose of medication when she was a child. Hard work and pills had robbed her of her childhood, now those pills were beginning to destroy mine. I was beginning to understand the connection between her behaviour and her medication."

• (Judy Davis) "I've got rainbows coming out my ass."

• (Judy Davis) "Uninsurable? Uh-huh? -- of course I can do eight shows a week, I did eight shows a day in vaudeville -- well even the greatest performer in the world can occasionally catch a cold and miss a performance. Let me tell you something: I have been in show business for forty years. That's thirty-five movies, six hundred radio shows, seventeen hundred concerts --. Difficult? Yes, I've heard how difficult it is to work with Judy Garland, do you know how difficult it is to be Judy Garland? I've been trying to be Judy Garland all my life."
