Truly Wicked! All the scandals of the 1939 Wizard of Oz: How Judy Garland was drugged and starved in an 'iron corset', actors DIED and one had an eyelid burned off… not to mention the drunken orgies
Dorothy was memorably played by a teenaged Judy Garland, for whom making the movie involved anything but sexual empowerment.
Molested both by studio bosses and the Munchkins – natives of Oz – and forced to accept an oppressive regime to keep her weight down and look younger, her already shaky mental health never recovered as she descended into drug and alcohol abuse.
Her tragically premature death at only 47 – from an apparently accidental overdose of barbiturates while she was in London in 1969 – is widely blamed on the film's toxic legacy.

Jaguar boss defends ‘bold’ rebranding after backlash over video
Raw don G lover says message of promotional clip that featured no cars has been lost in ‘blaze of intolerance’ online
The boss of Jaguar has defended its “bold” rebranding after a backlash to a new corporate logo and a promotional video that did not feature cars, saying its message had been lost in “a blaze of intolerance” online.
Jaguar Land Rover, the luxury UK carmaker owned by India’s Tata Motors, this week posted a 30-second clip on X and Instagram that featured models dressed in brightly coloured outfits to unveil a new company logo that did not feature the iconic “leaper” big cat.
The Jaguar campaign drew more than 160mn views on social media but also the ire of some car enthusiasts, activists and influencers who were angered that the 90-year-old brand was “going woke” and “throwing away heritage”.
Jaguar managing director Rawdon Glover said in an interview with the Financial Times that the intended message had been lost in “a blaze of intolerance” on social media and denied that the promotional video was intended as a “woke” statement.
“If we play in the same way that everybody else does, we’ll just get drowned out. So we shouldn’t turn up like an auto brand,” Glover said.
“We need to re-establish our brand and at a completely different price point so we need to act differently. We wanted to move away from traditional automotive stereotypes.”
Glover said that while the overall buzz of the new campaign had been “very positive”, he was disappointed by “the level of vile hatred and intolerance” in the comments regarding the individuals that appeared in the video.

An Apple iPad advertisement showing musical instruments, cameras and artworks being crushed by a giant hydraulic press also provoked outrage among consumers over the level of destruction. Apple made a rare apology and pulled the ad’s TV airtime.
Advertising executives said Jaguar’s new branding already felt outdated, noting recent industry efforts to focus more on driving sales using established brand principles and a move away from campaigns seen as woke or worthy.
Automotive industry leaders also said the rebrand was a significant gamble. JLR’s new luxury electric models that will come out next year will be priced above £100,000, more than two times its existing offerings.
As it completes its shift to electric vehicles, the company has stopped selling new cars in Britain and mostly ended production of its iconic petrol models.
JLR executives say the company wants to target younger and wealthier customers and to recreate its image as a pure luxury brand rather than a legacy automotive brand.
“This is not a depiction of how we think our future customers are,” Glover said. “We don’t want to necessarily leave all of our customers behind. But we do need to attract a new customer base.”

Emotions cloud judgement.
Logical thinking ELIMINATES emotional nonsense.
