Everyone has watched and loved Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939), but very few have sat down to watch the other films in which she starred! Garland, equipped with a powerhouse voice, impassioned dramatic abilities and impressive dancing skills, was a force like no other star in the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Her role as Dorothy in the “The Wizard of Oz” may be the role she’s widely known for, but her legacy also lies in the way she represented glittering optimism and love for life on-screen—despite her personal struggles behind-the-scenes.

So plop into a chair and watch “The Wizard of Oz” for the hundredth time...but then take some time to watch some of her other glorious films:


1. “Meet Me in St. Louis” (1944)


Pure Technicolor. Pure magic. Pure beauty. Purely Judy.

2. “A Star is Born” (1954)


(AKA the film of which Judy should have won an Oscar for—but she was robbed!)

3. “Easter Parade” (1948)

She sings. She dances. She shows off her comedic chops!


4. “The Clock” (1945)


(AKA one of the few films in which Judy does NOT sing!)

5. “For Me and My Gal” (1942)

Despite being that this is a thinly-veiled WWII propaganda film that happens to be about WWI, Judy still brings a smile to your face with her talents—while also bringing a tear to your eye now and again!


6. “Strike Up the Band” (1940)

I had to include one of Judy’s “backyard musicals” with Mickey Rooney, which helped to launch her into stardom!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
