#JudyGarland died 50 years ago tomorrow. Here she is in two shots with #GeneKelly in #VincenteMinnelli's #MGMmusical THE PIRATE (1948), a favorite #musical of mine. I included Judy's hilarious performance in my 2002 book 100 GREAT FILM PERFORMANCES YOU SHOULD REMEMBER BUT PROBABLY DON'T. Judy was 47 when she died.

#VirginiaOBrien (born 100 years ago today), #JudyGarland, and #CydCharisse in the #MGMmusical #TheHarveyGirls (1946), one of the subjects of my 2007 book SCREEN SAVERS: 40 REMARKABLE MOVIES AWAITING REDISCOVERY, one of five #musicals included. Ms. O'Brien died at 81 in 2001.

Happy 90th Birthday to living legend Jane Powell, singing and dancing musical star of the 40s and 50s. Jane was born on April 1, 1929 in Portland, Oregon. As a teenager, she relocated to Los Angeles, California, where she signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Powell's vocal, dancing, and acting talents were utilized for lead and supporting roles in musicals such as "A Date with Judy" (1948, with friend Elizabeth Taylor), "Royal Wedding" (1951, with Fred Astaire), "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (1954, with Howard Keel) and "Hit the Deck" (1955). By the late 1950s, her film career slowed down, leading her to transition to theatre with performances in various touring shows as well as two Broadway productions. In 1985, Powell relocated with her fifth husband, former child star Dickie Moore to New York City and Wilton, Connecticut, where she is occasionally active in local theatre.
