Judy?

Post by InterestedReader »

I don't want to speak out of turn but is Judy all right? She hasn't posted in a while.
I PM'd her some weeks ago to ask after her, but there was no reply.

Hi Wendy.

Thank you for being concerned for me; that is very kind of you. I am ok. I’ve just been going through some personal issues, which have taken up a great deal of my time. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to reply to your PM; I just sent a reply PM to you. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments on the things I wrote.

Judy

You are correct, Interested, the phase is attributed to Cary Grant. :grin: However, he didn’t actually say ‘Judy, Judy, Judy’ in any of the movies or performances he was in. Cary Grant speculated that it was Larry Storch who was the originator of the phase. (Underlining is mine.)


Peter Bogdanovich believes that the genesis of the imitation came from Grant's delivery in several lines in Only Angels Have Wings.. 'In the film his former girl friend is called Judith or Judy (played by Rita Hayworth). Cary has lines like "Hello, Judy. Come on, Judy. Now, Judy." But he never said "Judy, Judy, Judy." '

Judy Quine has another explanation: 'Cary told me back in 1955 that when he did the Lux Radio Theater, they used his voice introduction for Judy Garland, who was a guest for the following week. He recalled some banter where he could have said "Judy, Judy, Judy," but he wasn't sure.'

Although Grant must have tired of being constantly asked to say the line, he always obliged when women named Judy asked him to say 'Juday, Juday, Juday.' And Rich Little admires Grant's sense of humor about it: 'Cary said [Little imitating CG], "Where is this 'Juday, Juday, Juday' coming from? I don't know anybody named Juday-Juday-Juday. The only Judy I knew was Judy Garland. And when I saw her, there weren't three of 'em!" '

One of Cary Grant’s speculations on how the phrase came about is that it started with a celebrity impersonator by the name of Larry Storch, who was appearing in a nightclub and doing an impersonation of Cary when Judy Garland walked in, and Storch greeted her with Judy, Judy, Judy.

Cary Grant never said “Judy, Judy, Judy” as a scripted line. He did say the name “Judy” many times to his costar Rita Hayworth, who was playing a character named Judith McPherson. Words like, “Hello, Judy” — but never repeated in rapid succession

The entertainment industry has perpetuated the legend. The phrase was spoken by Tony Curtis doing a Grant impression for the character of the millionaire in the movie Some Like it Hot. Curtis heard it when he saw Larry Storch do a stand-up comic routine in New York. Storch said “Judy, Judy, Judy…” when Judy Garland walked into the club. Cary Grant did later say it on camera, though he did not originate it.

Cary Grant is associated with the phrase but he never said "Judy, Judy, Judy" in the movies, which he credits to Larry Storch, but he did say "Susan, Susan, Susan" in Bringing Up Baby (1938).
Larry Storch inadvertently set in motion the Cary Grant line, "Judy, Judy, Judy..." during one of his nightclub acts. Legend has it that Storch was in the middle of a Grant impersonation when Judy Garland walked in. Apparently, this is how he addressed the star. Even though the line was never said in any of Grant's movies, Storch's impression inexplicably stuck and was often used by other impressionists.

Hey Twins:

I was certain you knew all that. You pass with an A+

How marvelous is the internet. You can find things there that would never be listed in American Britannica encyclopedia... keeping in mind that half of it is not true or in error.

Nice to see you posting... :smile:

I pass with an A+, hey – well, thank you! :grin:

I have had people referring to me as “Judy, Judy, Judy” for most of my life. So, I’ve known about the things I posted above for many years. I agree, the internet is a wonderful tool, if you know what you are looking for, and how to verify the information you find.

Now did you know that Johnny Tillotson recorded a song in the early 60s titled, Judy, Judy, Judy?

How cool is it that the following video features none other than Judy Garland? Here is a link to song: http://tinyurl.com/mdny2xp

Hi Judy -- I wrote looooong email to you quite some time ago but it disappeared from both my drafts and sent boxes... this is what I get for hanging online to the wee hours. The Man From the Train is the latest on the Villisca murders and really caught my interest although I don't always agree with everything they surmises, a lot of it does make sense, especially the idea the perpetrator did this more than once. Still waiting on Epperly. If you have Kindle I might be able to loan it.... Also learned that the John Wesley Elkins "Boy Murderer" murders took place either on a farm we owned when I was a child or right across the fenceline. A book coming on it, too, next year sometime. Young John Wesley shot his father, bludgeoned his step-mother and then cleaned up the baby who was sleeping between them and headed to the neighbor's in a buggy. He was sentenced to life in prison at age eleven. I'm still waiting for Justice for Jessica to overuse but appropriately use the phrase. Hope life has settled down for you... things are in upheaval here, too.

The Elkins book is being written by Thomas Wolf and Patricia Bryan with some help from my great Aunt Ilo Rhines who is now 85, my father's only living sibling. http://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi ... ls-of-iowa

Hi Deb! :grin: It is so good to see you posting again. I must apologize to you for not replying to your e-mail yet; I did not forget you – it has just been a pretty hectic time for us. I will answer your e-mail soon, and let you know what has been going on in my corner of the world.

I have read the following reviews on The Man From the Train: http://tinyurl.com/ycd8fmje and http://tinyurl.com/yb22esvf Unfortunately, I don’t have Kindle, but thank you for offering to loan your copy of the book.

I have a feeling we are going to be waiting quite awhile yet for Epperly’s book on the Villisca Murders, which is unfortunate, because his book sounds quite intriguing. The following video mentions the case of Lizzie Borden as one of history’s axe murders… Stuff You Should Know - Who Committed the 1912 Villisca Ax Murders?: http://tinyurl.com/y8onr3pp Here is another good video on the Villisca Murders: http://tinyurl.com/ybljt6qn

Something that I find interesting is the fact that the Bordens were murdered in their house on Second Street, and the Moore family along with 2 guests were murdered in the Moore house on E. Second Street. :shock: Am I the only one who finds that eerily strange?

Holy Moly, Deb, thank you for sharing with us the fact that the John Wesley Elkins "Boy Murderer" murders took place so close to your childhood home. Man, it really is true that ‘It’s a small world’!

I was very disappointed when I found out that the trial for Quinton Tellis’ was deemed a mistrial, because the jury was deadlocked. A re-trial has been scheduled for June 11, in Batesville. I’d sure like to be a fly on the wall for that trial.

I also miss Anthony, and I agree, he was like a Third Musketeer! He was such a kind generous person, and I found that his insight and many of his thoughts on the Borden murders were intriguing.

Thanks for giving us a heads-up on the The Elkins book. It sounds very interesting.

I'm actually reading The Man from the Train now re: the Villisca Murders. I find it highly interesting. I know, somewhere on here, someone wanted to know (or went with the opinion) if strangers could have done the murders of Abby and Andrew. Then, I find out about the axe killer... I might need to rethink Abby and Andrew's deaths.
