Judy Garland only performed “Over The Rainbow“ twice during her many television appearances, which spanned 14 years. She performed it on her first TV Special, “Ford Star Jubilee“ in the episode called “The Judy Garland Special“ in 1955, and sang it to her children on The Christmas Edition of her weekly TV show “The Judy Garland Show“ (1963). Here Judy is dressed up as the tramp character she played when doing a duet with Fred Astaire in the film 'Easter Parade'. Judy sings the song so sad and mournfully here it makes me cry, and it makes Judy cry too. We can only wonder what she was thinking about that got her so upset. Perhaps she was thinking about how different her life was compared to the song's lyrics. It's very upsetting. I love you Judy.
