Judy Garland | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The upcoming biopic about Judy Garland does not have the approval of her daughter Liza Minnelli.

The 72-year-old Oscar-winner took to Facebook on Thursday (June 14) to reveal that she has no involvement in the upcoming movie starring Renee Zellweger as the iconic actress.

“I have never met nor spoken to Renee Zellweger… I don’t know how these stories get started, but I do not approve nor sanction the upcoming film about Judy Garland in any way. Any reports to the contrary are 100% Fiction,” Liza wrote along after it was reported that she and Renee have been meeting in regards to the movie.

For the past few months, Renee has been photographed looking just like Judy while filming in London.

The film follows Judy‘s final concerts in London, nearly 30 years after starring as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz before her death in June 1969.

Renee Zellweger is in character!

The 48-year-old actress was seen shooting late night scenes for the upcoming Judy Garland biopic Judy on Tuesday evening (April 24) in London, England.

The filming took place in the West End. Renee was spotted filming alongside co-star Jessie Buckley, who plays Rosalyn Wilder.

They filmed a scene with a car pulling up to the theaters, with paparazzi and crowds of fans waiting outside as Judy got out of the car, guided under an umbrella.

Renee was seen in the famous flower dress that Judy wore, rehearsing in her slippers. She was laughing on set, and fought off the chilly night air.

The movie, directed by Rupert Goold, is about Judy arriving in London in the winter of 1968 to perform a series of sold-out concerts.

Renee looked glam in a perfectly coiffed brown wig, fur coat, and kitten heels while Finn rocked a trench coat and shades.

Renee is playing Judy in the true story about her final concerts in London, nearly 30 years after starring as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.

The film will focus on her marriage to fifth husband musician Mickey Deans (Finn) – who Judy married several months before her death in June 1969 aged 47.

Renee Zellweger is seen as legendary star Judy Garland in the first photo from her new movie Judy, based on the true story of Judy Garland’s final concerts in London.

Also starring in the film are Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, and Michael Gambon. Principal photography just began on the movie in London, England.

Here’s a synopsis: Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians, and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of romance seem undimmed as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. And yet Judy is fragile. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted; haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood; gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids. Will she have the strength to go on?

Katey Sagal is getting ready to release her memoir “Grace Notes: My Recollections” and she opens up about her 15-year battle with drug addiction in the book.

“When I was 12, we lived on the same block as Judy Garland. Her daughter Lorna Luft and I became neighborhood buddies,” Katey wrote in the book. “Lorna‘s mom had a lot of pills on her bedside table and slept past noon just like my mom. We hung tight. And, of course, I thought everyone’s mom took a lot of pills.”

Judy Garland‘s ex-husband Sid Luft has made some shocking claims about her time on the set of The Wizard of Oz, which are featured in his new posthumous memoir.

In the book, Sid claimed that Judy was repeatedly molested by some of the actors playing the Munchkins in the classic movie musical The Wizard of Oz.

“They would make Judy‘s life miserable on set by putting their hands under her dress … The men were 40 or more years old,” Sid wrote in the book (via People). “They thought they could get away with anything because they were so small.”

Sid and Judy were married from 1952 until 1965. He passed away in 2005.

Judy described the behavior of the Munchkin actors in an interview she gave in 1967, two years before her death. “They were little drunks … They got smashed every night, and they picked them up in butterfly nets,” she said.
