Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. For me, those names bring magic. Never have I seen two young Hollywood stars so perfectly matched on screen. They've gone down in history as one of the most endearing film couples of all time. When you settle down to watch a Judy and Mickey movie, you can be sure that you will get some warm fuzzies... and probably a great laugh.
Mickey and Judy had a very special relationship. In a television interview he said, "She was my sister from the beginning. The sister I never had. I am an only child... but she was the love I had searched for." And it's obvious from every one of the ten films they made together, as well as Mickey's appearance on the Judy Garland Show in 1960s, that they truly did love each other. There's always a special smile between the two of them... and the type of laughter only shared by best friends. Here's a publicity still and video clip from the 1941 film Babes on Broadway, another one of their "two young kids trying to get into show business" films. Mickey is wearing a casual suit and Judy is decked out in cute and comfortable everyday wear - a dark, full skirt and low heeled shoes (perfect for spontaneous dancing) and a truly adorable top, gathered down the front and accented with a flower applique.
Here's their wonderful song and dance to "How About You?" If you don't smile while watching this clip... I give up. ;)
Mickey and Judy have made appearances on AmandaBeth Online three times before, showcasing their 2008 holiday style, celebrating Valentine's Day last year, and seeing who would get the larger half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving. They really are perfect for any occasion. :)
Have a lovely week! I'll be having a post from a new contributor up within a few days, and also keep an eye out for some Olympic Figureskating Fashion recaps!
