TCM Schedule for Sunday, June 10, 2012 -- What's On Tonight: Judy Garland's 90th Birthday

[Bolo Boffin]

Judy Garland
June 8, 1922 - June 22, 1969

And it's all Judy Garland all day long. The order of movies is pretty much chronological except for "The Wizard of Oz" (getting the prime 8:00 slot) and "A Star Is Born" (moved up to facilitate "Wizard&quot . Her featured cameo in "Judgment at Nuremberg" is dropped as well. But otherwise, this is a fine romp through her life in film.

1. Great films. I love Judy and I love TCM, but I feel the need to make a correction to your subject

line. Judy never had and never will have a 90th birthday. She died when she was, like, 47 or something. Of course, it would be appropriate to say she was born 90 years ago. But she stopped having birthdays.

That's one of my pet peeves. When people die, they don't have birthdays anymore. That's only for the living.

2. I said that because that's what TCM is calling it.

We get this info from their website.

They're calling it the 90th birthday, and I just repeat what they say.

3. Understood. Thanks. nt
