Judy Garland passed away in London, England on June 22, 1969 from an accidental overdose of barbituates. She was 47 years old. Her body was brought back to New York, and she was laid to rest at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, NY. The crowds waiting to pay their final respects to her at the Frank Campbell Mortuary in New York City were said to be the biggest since Rudolph Valentino's death in 1926.

Judy went beyond the silver screen, from vaudeville as "The Gumm Sisters," radio, television, and stage. In every field, Ms. Garland was a success. Garland hit everything but Broadway and even on Broadway she reopened the famed Palace Theatre in New York City. Every vaudevillian's goal was to play the Palace -- "I've played the State, the Capitol, but people say don't stop unless you've played the Palace, you haven't played the top!" Another great success was her performance at Carneagie Hall, those that were there have said that the night was magical and that it was a night they would never forget. Judy ... had a successful variety show on television, The Judy Garland Show. The lack of apathy CBS possessed and Bonanza killed Garland's show and Judy continued on her concert career.

Imagine living in your own apartment in New York City at the age of 15; performing to sell out crowds on Broadway, and being told by Judy Garland: "after tonight, this city is yours". That was only the beginning for David, (soon to be Davy) Jones of the Monkees.
