* TroubledButCute: Even after her problems with addiction and history for turbulent productions became well known, most show people from that era who knew her prefer to remember her as the flawed, yet genuinely kindhearted, beautiful and talented women that she is famous for today.

* VocalDissonance: Even when she was young, her singing voice was much deeper and more mature-sounding than her normal, speaking voice which was in a higher register. Very apparent when listening to "Over the Rainbow", which she sang when she was sixteen.

Garland has ascended into pop culture as a [[LGBTFanbase gay icon]], owing in no small part to the fact that much of her early life mirrored that of many gay men -- and it probably helps that she [[FagHag regularly socialized with gay men, often accompanying them to gay bars]]. The use of the rainbow as a symbol for gay culture and LGBT pride in general is probably due in some part to Garland's song "Over the Rainbow" in ''The Wizard of Oz''. According to her daughters, she would have loved that.

Her producers were harsh to her, encouraging her to take amphetamines to work longer hours. They also told her she wouldn't be as beautiful as her other co-stars, and Louis B. Mayer (the second M of [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]]) [[JerkAss frequently referred to her]] as [[EmbarrassingNickname "the fat one" or "the Hunchback"]]. Probably because of this, she fell into drug addiction quite young.

Garland was [[SerialSpouse married five times]] before her death at the age of 47 due to a drug overdose. From her marriage to filmmaker Creator/VincenteMinnelli (with whom she made three films), she had a daughter, Creator/{{Liza|Minnelli}}, herself an accomplished performer. Her daughter by Sidney Luft, Creator/{{Lorna|Luft}}, is also an actress.

Added DiffLines:

** Her death may have had a mild hand in the kicking off of the Gay Liberation movement. It's a generally accepted fact that the Stonewall Inn on the night of the riots had a fair amount of patrons who were trying to drink the pain away after attending her funeral that day, and were in absolutely no mood for the police raiding the place.

* GoodParents: She had her problems yes, but there's no doubt she loved her children immensely. The fact that Liza, Lorna and Joey are all still to this day, incredibly loyal and devoted in maintaining her legacy as a force of good has to speak to that.

* OneTakeWonder:[[invoked]] For her part in ''Film/TheHarveyGirls'' song "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe", Judy filmed TheOner of Susan coming off the train and singing her solo until the tempo change perfectly on the first take. They did do one more for safety however.

* StageNames: She and her sisters performed under their real names for a while. But apparently after being mispronounced as the Glum, Bum or Dumb sisters one too many times, they were renamed the Garland Sisters - and Frances was renamed Judy.
