There's a lot of Oscar buzz surrounding actress Renee Zellweger's uncanny portrayal of Judy Garland in the new film, Judy.

While the movie tries to show us the final year in the life of one of Hollywood's most iconic legends, it fails to deliver an accurate representation of what made Judy Garland a beloved figure who suffered greatly.

Why is Judy Garland still so important all these years after her death?

Starring in The Wizard of Oz made Judy Garland a household name, but it's her embrace of

LGBTQ folks and other marginalized people that transformed her into the realm of Hollywood legend.

And like all legends, the truth is hard to separate from fantasy.

Today, Peter Mack, one of the best known and longest working Judy Garland impersonators,

joins us to take a look at the life and legacy of Judy Garland

and how it differs from what you see in the film, Judy.
