The Oscar winner calls her role in Judy 'the most challenging and terrifying role I’ve done”
first saw herself in full Judy Garland garb—prosthetic nose, colored contacts, wig, and dramatic makeup—she couldn’t help but gasp. “I went, ‘Wow!’ Jeez, Judy’s features and her defining physical characteristics were instantly recognizable. It felt like it wasn’t me underneath the wig and makeup,” Zellweger said at Thursday’s Los Angeles premiere ofthe biopic in which she plays Garland in the last year of her life. “Every day it was denial. I couldn’t believe it was me.
Each of Zellweger’s six musical numbers, including “By Myself“ and “Over the Rainbow,” was performed live on set in front of an audience to the sound of a band playing in her earpiece, while the cameras rolled in one take. “That was director’s idea,” Zellweger said. “He decided to do everything live because he wanted to capture the shared experience that a performer has with an audience. I’ll forgive Rupert one day for doing that to me. It wasn’t easy.
