When my family first got cable, I was about 9 years old. Strike Up the Band was the first movie I ever caught on TCM. It blew my 9-yo mind that Judy played something besides Dorothy! That's the day I became hooked on TCM and classic film. #TCMParty #StrikeUpTheBand @TCM

As a young actress, Judy Garland was compared to Lana Turner and Elizabeth Taylor. Then she was the "also ran" to the glamour girls in all the films with Mickey Rooney. No wonder she lacked confidence.
But could Turner or Taylor sing, dance AND act like Judy?
