Great photos, but I can't believe this thread is only 2 pages. I'll have to add some more!

I'm going to watch Meet Me in St. Louis tonight! I loooove that movie, and it's a great one to watch around Christmas.

the diva

with the icomparable spencer tracy behind the scenes on judgment at nuremberg in hollywood.the 2 had been friends since the late 1930s in culver city and the intervening 25 years had brought both them to rarefied pinnacles of respect in their industry....great film,and some of the gretest actors giving singularlyx great performances.montgomery clift made me cry...and judy had almost the same effect...

lady stardust:aww..she had so much expression!

i agree!!i think she´s very underrated,not as a singer or performer but as an actress.i think she´s not really appreciated because she played in light musicals most of the time.but that doesn´t necessarily mean she couldn´t act or wasn´t capable of playing dramatic parts (she has prooved she could at least twice..a star is born,judgment of nuremberg and as i personally think also in a child is waiting.the funny thing is,normally i hate musicals.i really hate them,but i love watching her musical-films just because she brings so much freshness,pureness,energy and natural talent on the screen that i find it comforting watching her.and if you just think that she could exude so much wholesomeness despite her immense problems on the set and in real life it makes her work even more stunning (reminiscences of marily monroe are apparent).she should have gotten the oscar for a star is born,many people in hollywood at that time thought so too.ok,she wasn´t as elegant or sophisticated as other actresses at that time,or a perfect beauty.she always had great inferiority complexes because of that.but so what?does that lessen her immense talent?she could be a psycho-monster,certainly.with all the pills she took everybody would have become a wreck.but that doesn´t mean that a person has a bad character or personality.i admire her for the way she fought and struggled.
the 4-star rating of this thread was exactly what i expected.i just felt like i had to defend her a little bit.she´s certainly worth it.
she never pretended to be more than she was.

a quote from the book:
