How Judy Became Dorothy: The Impact of "Everybody Sing"
While Judy Garland's performance as Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) is iconic, it wasn't her first foray into musicals. The year before, she stole the show in "Everybody Sing" (1938). This film proved to be a stepping stone on her yellow brick road to Oz.
"Everybody Sing" gave Garland, then just 15 years old, her first leading role. Her charm and undeniable vocal talent were on full display. She showcased her ability to not only sing but also carry a film. This impressed MGM executives who were already searching for the perfect Dorothy.
While Garland's talent was undeniable, "Everybody Sing" wasn't a major box office hit. However, it did generate positive buzz, particularly for her performance. Critics praised her charisma and singing voice, highlighting her potential as a major star.
This newfound attention, coupled with her performance in "Everybody Sings," solidified Garland's position as a top contender for Dorothy. MGM recognized the vulnerability and emotional depth she brought to the character, qualities essential for portraying Dorothy's journey in Oz.
So, while "The Wizard of Oz" catapulted Garland to superstardom, "Everybody Sing" played a crucial role in her trajectory. It was the film that solidified her as a rising star and ultimately helped land her the role that would forever etch her name in Hollywood history.
