Quem se casou com Judy Garland?

Judy Garland, nome artístico de Frances Ethel Gumm (Grand Rapids, 10 de junho de 1922 — Londres, 22 de junho de 1969), foi uma atriz, cantora, dançarina e artista de vaudeville norte-americana, considerada por muitos uma das principais estrelas cantoras da era de ouro dos filmes musicais de Hollywood.

Garland recebeu o Óscar Juvenil, um prêmio especial em reconhecimento pela sua atuação em The Wizard of Oz e Babes in Arms, na 12ª Edição do Óscar, que aconteceu em 1940, ganhou um Globo de Ouro por A Star Is Born (1954) e foi a primeira mulher a receber o Prémio Cecil B. DeMille, em 1962, pelo conjunto da obra na indústria cinematográfica, bem como um prêmio Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, em 1997, e um Tony Award Especial, em 1952.

Apesar de seus triunfos profissionais, Judy lutou com vários problemas pessoais ao longo de sua vida. Insegura com sua aparência, seus sentimentos foram agravados por executivos de cinema que disseram que ela era feia e com sobrepeso. Tratada com medicamentos para controlar seu peso e aumentar a sua produtividade, Judy suportou décadas de uma longa luta contra o vício das drogas. Ela era atormentada por uma instabilidade financeira, muitas vezes devendo centenas de milhares de dólares em impostos atrasados, e seus primeiros quatro de cinco casamentos terminaram em divórcios. Ela tentou o suicídio em vários momentos, mas não conseguiu. Judy morreu de uma overdose de remédios aos 47 anos, deixando três filhos, Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft e Joey Luft.

David Daniel Rose (June 15, 1910 – August 23, 1990) was an American songwriter, composer, arranger, pianist, and orchestra leader. His best known compositions were "The Stripper", "Holiday for Strings", and "Calypso Melody". He also wrote music for many television series, including It's a Great Life, The Tony Martin Show, Little House on the Prairie, Highway to Heaven, Bonanza, Leave It to Beaver, and Highway Patrol, some under the pseudonym Ray Llewellyn.

Rose's work as a composer for television programs earned him four Emmys. In addition, he was musical director for The Red Skelton Show during its 21-year run on the CBS and NBC networks. He was a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the national fraternity for men in music.

Vincente Minnelli, pseudônimo de Lester Anthony Minelli, (Chicago, 28 de fevereiro de 1903 — Beverly Hills, 25 de julho de 1986) foi um cineasta norte-americano e considerado um dos criadores do moderno musical.

Truman "Mark" Herron (July 8, 1928 – January 13, 1996) was an American actor and the fourth husband of singer and actress Judy Garland. They were married on November 14, 1965, in Las Vegas, Nevada, but they separated after five months of marriage. Seventeen months later, Garland was granted a divorce after testifying that Herron had beaten her. He said he had "only hit her in self-defense."

Herron appeared in films such as Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963), Girl in Gold Boots (1968) and Eye of the Cat (1969).

He also appeared on the TV western series Gunsmoke in 1960 as an Army Major in the S5E38's "The Deserter".

Gerald Clarke, in his biography of Garland, Get Happy, and in an interview about the book, reported that Herron had an affair with Tallulah Bankhead, prior to meeting Garland.

Garland put Herron to work as producer of her two London Palladium concerts with her daughter Liza Minnelli in 1964, as well as some appearances in Canada in 1965.

Aside from providing Gerold Frank information for his 1975 biography Judy, Herron remained silent on the topic of Garland. He continued acting, often appearing in summer stock productions.

Herron had a long-lasting relationship with fellow actor Henry Brandon, which was only briefly interrupted by his marriage to Garland. The two men remained together until Brandon's death in 1990.

Michael DeVinko Jr. (September 24, 1934 – July 11, 2003), known as Mickey Deans, was an American musician and entrepreneur. He is best known as the fifth husband and widower of actress and singer Judy Garland.
