The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?She won the Oscar for Cabaret, toured stadiums with Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., and made "New York, New York" a signature anthem - all while carrying the weight of being Judy Garland's daughter. A commanding alto and stage presence that earned her the EGOT, minus the competitive Grammy.

, Some people think reality must be constantly depressing, but I think reality is something you rise above.
You don’t know how to handle anything today, because you have to go to jail to get some press or fall down drunk.
They used to have clauses and contracts where you can't get bad publicity or you'd get fired. But now bad publicity is good publicity.

Born March 12, 1946, to Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli, she moved to New York in 1961 and started as a nightclub performer and musical theater actress. Her Off-Broadway debut came in Best Foot Forward in 1963, followed by a Tony win for Flora the Red Menace in 1965. The Sterile Cuckoo earned her a Best Actress nomination in 1969, but it was playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret in 1972 that brought the Oscar and international fame. She took another Tony for The Act in 1978, kept turning out Golden Globe-nominated film roles, and headlined Carnegie Hall and Radio City through the late '80s and early '90s. Health problems slowed her in later years, but she returned for guest spots on Arrested Development and small retrospective performances, capping it with a 2024 documentary and a bestselling 2026 memoir.
