Unlike his precsor, he was not "mil, " eher the artistic or the phemistic sense; unlike his succsor, he was not voracly gay.
Garland had wanted to do a remake of the 1937 film A Star Is Born starrg (probably queer) actrs Ja Gaynor, sce she played Gaynor's part a 1942 rad productn.
"Judy really seemed like that gay in of the past, " he wasn't until he saw A Star Is Born that he began to unrstand what all the fs was about. But all that charisma and talent me wh an exorbant price built to, Kijak discs Garland's legacy, her relatnship wh the gay muny, and makg Sid & and Garland at the 27th Amy Award nomatns event did you approach rearchg and makg Sid & Judy?
