"I've been through a lot," she once explained after a tardy appearance. "We love you, Judy," the audience replied. Born Francess Gumm in Grand Rapids, Minn., to parents in vaudeville, she made her stage debut at 3 and became a national legend at 17 in the film The Wizard of Oz by singing of her longing...
