From the mouth of Maureen Solomon–
Saw the new film JUDY about Judy Garland’s last months. It was sad but Renee Zellwegger did an excellent job of portraying Judy. My only quibble was with the flashbacks to her days at MGM which were silly, not needed, and totally fictionalized. Zellwegger was there to answer questions and I was very impressed with her intelligence and earnest answers. Thought she was probably much smarter than any other actress today. She is sure to win the Academy Award next year
