She appeared as a guest star in dozens of other television variety shows, and starred in countless night club and concert engagements, winning a special Tony Award for one of three record-breaking Broadway concerts at the Palace. Garland recorded nearly one hundred singles and over a dozen albums, including Judy at Carnegie Hall (1961), which received five Grammy awards, including Album of the Year. Even several decades after her death, Garland is considered to be one of the greatest twentieth century entertainers, having reached cult status in her popularity. Garland was married five times, first to orchestra leader David Rose (1941-45). Her second was to director Vincente Minnelli (1945-51), with whom she had a daughter Liza (born 1946). With third husband Sid Luft (1951-65), she had a daughter Lorna (born 1952) and a son Joey (born 1955). Her fourth husband was actor Mark Herron (1965-67) and her fifth was Mickey Deans (1968-69). Despite her many successes, Garland was troubled in her personal life starting at a young age. She had developed an early dependency on amphetamines, which were originally prescribed to help keep her weight down, and to barbiturates, which counteracted the diet pills so she could sleep. Her drug problem was exacerbated by a growing dependency on alcohol. Garland was said to have attempted suicide several times in her life. She died at age 47 on June 22, 1969, of an accidental overdose of barbiturates in her London apartment. .
