Judy Garland's Legacy

So, this week in my muscial class we watched a clip from Martin Scorsese's musical parody "New York New York" in which Judy Garland's daughter Liza Minnelli does a parody of her mother's musical number "I was born in a trunk..." from "A Star Is Born". I thought that is was interesting because although Minnelli is honoring her mother's art form, she is also mocking Garland's legacy by showing the complete illusion of the musical world. This illusion is what sadly killed Garland, and lucky her legacy does live on through her work and not through her daughter who unsuccessfully followed in Garland's footsteps.
