In 1934, Frances and her sisters performed at the Chicago World's Fair. At the Oriental Theater they were introduced by comedian George Jessel, who renamed the girls "The Garland Sisters" after getting laughs introducing them as "The Gumm Sisters" (legend has it that he chose the name after speaking on the phone with theater critic Robert Garland). Frances chose the name Judy, a song by Hoagy Carmichael.

2. Judy Garland was forced on medication as soon as she started her career. What kind of medicine was it?

5. Judy was producers Arthur Freed and Mervyn LeRoy?s first choice for Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz".

7. What kind of disease took the life of Judy Garland's father?

Answer: Spinal Meningitis

He developed this disease and it went into full blast while Judy was at one of her radio shows. His last request was to hear her sing on radio, and so they held the radio up to him as she sang. Then he passed.

9. There was one song that Judy sang several times even until her late years, and was always a favorite. Which song was it?

Answer: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Even during the years right before she died, she sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" with such power that she cried, and so did those around her. Therefore, it was said to be the best song of Judy Garland.
