Judy Garland in The Wizard Of Oz

Lately, well, "lately" is a relative term referring to the last couple of years or so. In reflecting about the "Dorothy" character, the psychology behind her. In reflecting about the "Wizard of Oz" and it's various elements. How this, "Judy Garland's" weakness, became so powerful. What a children's tale this became to be! The story adapted from the work of L. Frank Baum, about a Kansas girl and her journey over the rainbow. This past September 2013, Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz was seen in 3D! As if the Wizard of Oz weren't the super coolest anyhow, they come in and remake it in 3D! The premiere was held at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Ca. They had nice quality, bedazzled t-shirts made for this historical occasion. I'm sure Dorothy's spirit was lingering around! She probably can't believe all of the 'hoopla,' surrounding this film. Especially since in 1939, she visited during the premiere of, "Babes in Arms." Her turnout afforded her the good fortune of having her handprints and shoes forever on display. She sat her precious hands and shoes in the "square of glory." Forever to be appreciated. Forever appreciated, never forgotten. The legacy she left behind. The children she left behind: Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft, Joe Luft. Ya, I know, I didn't know she was Liza Minnelli's mom either! Did the "apple fall far from the tree?" Do her children rake their own fame? Do her children live off of being, "The son and daughter of..." Have they committed their lives to being a legend of their own? I can only imagine the tremendous pain and rampant pressure they carried, without "wanting." It is my hope that my children have a fruitful, fullfilled life of their OWN, based on their OWN achievements. That they learn the main ingredients in a successful run here in life, so that they may be relinquished of the pain and rampant pressures of, "the apple falling far from the tree."
