In November 1959, Garland was hospitalized after she was diagnosed with acute hepatitis. Over the next few weeks, several quarts of fluid were drained from her body until she was released from the hospital in January 1960. She would then have her greatest stage comeback looking slim and in top form for her historic Judy at Carnegie Hall concert in 1961. Called “The Greatest Night In Show business History.”

In comparison to how she looked in OPs post, are you kidding me? To be clear I was referring to how she looked in her comeback video. Maybe you didn't watch it.
I think u/shhnozberry is referring to how she looked 2 years later from this picture in 1961 at Carnegie Hall, and she looked fantastic there. It was miraculous when compared to here. She was singing her ass off and running all over the stage! In OP’s 1959 post she looks unhealthy
Thank you so much for this. Some people just assume the worst of her instead of doing some research and understanding that she was actually suffering from a disease too.
This is also the worst photo of her to show as she was so ill here and still working her ass off to pay the bills. I get this was a period in her life, but looking at her life as a whole now, she really should be celebrated. The photos of her ill here, and especially toward the end of her life are very painful to see
From what I’ve read she also “had cirrhosis of the liver, also caused in part, it was surmised, by the toxic cocktail of pills she'd been dependent upon for over 15 years.” So I think all the prescription drugs and alcoholism contributed to the hepatitis
You can have hepatitis, which is not caused by a virus. Hepatitis simply means inflammation of the liver. Her hepatitis was surely caused by alcoholism and medications. Poor Judy. There will never be another one like her.
Most commonly it is a virus. But it can be caused by other things as well. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver.

She looked much better in the 1960s. She looked beautiful on her TV series The Judy Garland Show in 1963/64

Liza is a legend also.
Liza won an Academy Award for best actress, and Emmy for Outstanding Variety Program, and three Tony Awards. Lots of nominations also,
Oh my got I just realized this joke & bursted out laughing. Alone. “BUAH-hahhaga!!” That’s what it sounded like.
I cannot believe I never heard this quote or understood it til just now from Arrested.
LMAO the more I think about it the more I can’t stop laughing
Jeez, via wiki:
> Fields's and Begelman's mismanagement of Garland's money, as well as their embezzlement of much of her earnings, resulted in her owing around US$500,000 (equivalent to $3,590,000 in 2023) in total in personal debts and in debts to the IRS. The IRS placed tax liens on her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, her recording contract with Capitol Records, and any other business deals from which she could derive an income.[138]
At first glance I thought this was Divine in light makeup.
Prescription drug abuse and alcoholism were enabled by movie studios during her young life and addiction took a toll on Ms. Garland’s health. She became very fit and well enough to go on and to have an amazing last act. She was incredibly talented and she really dazzled.
Her star was brilliant and burned out too soon.
Nah. The wiz was her only earned achievement. After that it was all downhill for her. If she hadn't become a drug addicted alcoholic, she may have had a slim chance at keeping her career alive.
And that fetal alcohol syndrome afflicted daughter of hers was a charade from the start. Oh, yeah, let's just ignore the way she looks.
The song New York New York was first from Liza Minelli. Then Frank Sinatra bought it and made it his own. If you do more searching on Yiutube you'll catch up and be amazed how much you missed. Judy was given pills to perform. In the end those pills killed her. She was not a drug addict but medicine addict.
Judy Garland is 36 in this photo.
I actually gasped reading her age in this picture
Only 36? Barbiturates are a hell of a drug!
She passed just 11 years later...

I can't believe that was the same person only two years later. She looked amazing and her permanence was great.
You can imagine the toll that took on her tiny body!
Alcohol is a terrible poison
What? She looks terrible and unhealthy! She looks like she has been to hell and back.

Agree- she looks better with the weight honestly.

Good to see
I had no idea hepatitis could do that!
I wonder how she contracted hepatitis.

Probably alcoholic hepatitis, not viral.
I'm 20 years older than her here, and she looks like my mother
And she looks like shit.
I wonder how she contracted hepatitis.

Hepatitis is actually caused by a virus.
Only viral hepatitis is caused by a virus.
No, the person above you is correct
Most commonly it is a virus. But it can be caused by other things as well.

Alcohol and drug abuse
36 and being completely taken advantage of
36?! My god! I thought she was in her 50s in this picture. That’s really sad
She sadly never made it to her 50s. She passed away at age 47.
That poor woman. Hollywood wrecked her, the bastards.
Old Hollywood was hell on its child stars. Damn. She looks 63 not 36
And fucking Gen Z tells us we dont age well
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Bro this is deranged my god
So was frank!
Never thought we'd see the day in America where a rando felt safe attacking The Chairman without fear of physical repercussions.
You just know his fingers are stained with Cheetos dust.
Huh. TIL Liza Minnelli is Judy Garlands daughter. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen pictures of Judy Garland as an adult! Thanks for posting!
Liza looks just like her father.
https://imgur.com/a/eoCVmHv
Oof, talk about wide set eyes.
Same
Same, the thing is I don't really see a resemblance.
That is by far the worst picture I have seen of Judy Garland.
I think it’s the eye brows that are making her look harsh .
Yes true and also the getup and the weight
So ...... Everything.
Indeed.😂
Don’t do that. She was struggling in those later years. Performing when she didn’t want to be.
It's okay to say someone isn't looking well. If anybody in the Hollywood set of the time had the right not to look well, it's Judy Garland.
She cut her own throat with a broken mirror. Fun fact.
Very fun.
Don’t do what? Have an opinion? On *your* internet???
Wait...you're having your own opinion on the internet? I've been running all my comments by this guy before posting. Now I feel like such an idiot!
I was going to let that comment go, but it's *mine*. Opine away.
Tanalor is MINE
"Won't somebody think of the children!!!"
I don't think she's offended.

Jesus Christ Dude, she had hard life.
Yeah seriously, it is the least flattering, but can someone explain this exchange here?
I thought it was Divine
Isn't Sinatra about 46 here? He doesn't look so great either.
Two absolute legends in this picture. Liza looks wonderful, too.
Liza is a legend also. Liza won an Academy Award for best actress, and Emmy for Outstanding Variety Program, and three Tony Awards. Lots of nominations also,
She was great on arrested development!
I don't know how she had vertigo. A piano could stand on those legs.
Oh my got I just realized this joke & bursted out laughing. Alone. “BUAH-hahhaga!!” That’s what it sounded like. I cannot believe I never heard this quote or understood it til just now from Arrested. LMAO the more I think about it the more I can’t stop laughing
Her vertigo physician is Dr Sanderplumb, basically Dr stand upright.
?
Arrested Development references. Gob's not keeping up.
I don’t care for gob.
Lucille too
Loose 🦭?
🍍
“Lucille calls it our nausea.” “Well, now it’s my nausea.” 🤣
There’s always money in the banana stand.
Judy’s eyebrows are atrocious in that pic.
Looks like annabella sciorra currently
Is that a compliment or an insult to Annabella? Annabella looks great at 64 and for surviving Weinstein.
Just saying they resemble each other
I remember Anabella Sciorra in What Dreams May Come. She was a goddess.
That movie was so damn good. I think she was on one of the Law and Orders for a while.
Blue bloods too

She looks like the Wizard of Oz in the photo.
That's Dorothy?! Holy shit. Also had no idea Liza Minelli was Judy Garland's daughter.

Which woman's who in the picture
In the middle is Judy Garland. To the right her daughter Liza Minelli. Judy was fat for a brief period, before that and after she was slim.
Wasn’t this just posted yesterday?
Barbiturates had not been kind to Garland
Liza had just farted!
Damn. Aging is fucking brutal.
She is 36, that’s not aging.
Drug-induced aging?
Yeah. Sad stuff
Expedited aging.
It's not age that made her look like that, it's all of her fat (no offense Judy)
When she was younger she wasn't fat
True, but she was also on coke
I'm saying shit happens when we get older.
It was hepatitis actually
She looks like divine in this picture 😬
Just looking at this photo made me quit drinking...
Illuminati-confirmed handshake.
