POV: it's the last day of school before winter break in the 2000s

Judy Garland's experience while filming "The Wizard of Oz" was a tragic example of the harsh realities young actors often faced during that era. When she was only 16, she was put on a strict diet of mainly chicken soup and coffee. Additionally, she was encouraged to smoke approximately 80 cigarettes a day, a common practice in the entertainment industry during that time.
