JUDY GARLAND, 47, DIES AT HER HOME IN LONDON
This was the headline that greeted millions of people as they opened their Sunday morning paper on the hot summer morning of June 22, 1969.
For thirty years Judy Garland had been an icon all over the world. She was a link to that magical place where troubles melted away as we went over the rainbow. The funeral was to be held on Campbell’s Funeral Home in New York City. On June 27 1969 over 22,000 waited in line to take one last, albeit short, look at their beloved Judy. This was the largest funeral in New York City since Rudolph Valentino was laid to rest in 1926.
