Hey there, friends. Let me tell you about an incredible story that's hitting theaters soon. The late, great Judy Garland is back in the spotlight in the film Judy, where Renée Zellweger gives a powerhouse performance as the legendary performer. This movie is set in 1969 London, where Judy finds herself performing in a series of sold-out concerts at the iconic Talk of the Town. Her final concert took place in Copenhagen in March of that year. Now, here's the kicker: the film won't delve into her tragic death at the age of 47 from what was ruled as an accidental overdose on June 22, 1969.

Renée Zellweger Dives Deep Into Judy's World

When I spoke to Renée, she shared some pretty profound thoughts about what it took to embody such an iconic figure. “You know, as I dove into Judy's life, I gained this incredible appreciation for what it takes for someone to keep going under such tough circumstances,” Renée, who is 50, told People. “There’s so much about her journey that resonates deeply today. Back then, women didn’t have the same kind of agency over their lives as we do now. Judy had to overcome so much, and that’s something I hope resonates with audiences. Her strength and determination are truly inspiring.”

Renée's Recent Work and What's Next

Before jumping into the role of Judy, Renée was last seen in the Netflix thriller series What/If, which premiered on May 24. The series was a wild ride, and fans of psychological thrillers definitely appreciated her performance. Now, all eyes are on Judy, which is set to release on September 27. If you’re a fan of powerful performances and compelling stories, this is one you won’t want to miss.
