It is also the title of the planned Biopic of the star by those quiet and lovely chaps at The Weinstein Co.
The Author of the book 'Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland' also wrote the book the 'Capote' screenplay was based on.
But haven't we just had a Judy Garland Biopic starring the brilliant Judy Davis?
Was I imagining this?
Well however short Harvey's memory is for other movies, his knowledge of how to get an Oscar nomination is not to be messed with. Whoever plays Judy will be in for some major prize grabbing.
May I suggest on brilliant actress who would tear this role up on screen?
GIVE THE ROLE TO TONI COLLETTE!!!!
In fact, as her performance in 'The United States of Tara' proves, give her every role. She can do it.

Toni Collette is probably the only actress I would feel comfortable with playing Judy Garland. Not only does she have the acting chops but she also has the voice.
Although, with Harvey Weinstein, I wouldn't put it past him to cast Renee Zellweger or Gwyneth Paltrow. *shudder*
Oh G-d yes!
She'd be perfect! However any actress who gets it will get Oscar a la Marion Cotillard and Jamie Foxx and Reese...
Ironic that she never got one herself though :(
I love these biopics where they cast current celebs as classic ones, the idea of the ensemble itself has already got me salivating.
