I had met a young lady who wanted to be in the theater. It was Judy Holliday. She had somehow fallen down the steps of the Village Vanguard, which still exists today.
As a newcomer, you know, you don't come out the gate as a singer and try to compare with Judy Garland.
We didn't know anything about Judy Murray until we met her, but once we got to know her, we found she was an absolute scream.
Every day, my mom and I would watch a different Judy Garland VHS. I love how she tells a story when she sings. It was just about her voice and the words she was singing - no strings attached or silly hair or costumes, just a woman singing her heart out. I feel like that doesn't happen that much anymore.
I sit down on my sofa and I turn on 'Judge Judy.' That's my guilty pleasure. I could do a whole day of that.
Well, I was obsessed with Judy Garland growing up. Like, obsessed.
I appreciate recipes that tell you what can be changed and what must remain fixed. 'The Zuni Cafe Cookbook' by the late Judy Rodgers is superb at this.
Then I went through a big Peggy Lee stage, then I became Annie Ross, then Judy Collins.
I was very entertained by Betty Grable and Judy Garland.
Aside from the whole Richard and Judy fame thing, I am incredibly lucky they're my mum and dad.
