8MM-16MM FORUM WORLDWIDE

In Summer Stock, Judy Garland, playing a farm girl about to purchase the tractor of her dreams, goes over to a wall calendar. The date on the calendar says, in large letters, “June 22, 1949″.

Twenty years to the day from that date — on June 22, 1969 —

Judy Garland died, aged just 47 (her birthday was twelve days earlier).

A further coincidence was that a newspaper reporting her death had it as the lead item on Page 1,

but the second item, on the same page, headlined a massive tornado which had just devastated Kansas.

Creepy stuff!

More coincidences , though not film related. Rock 'n' Roll singer Eddie Cochran died April 17th 1960 in a car crash aged 21; his niece died in a car crash aged 21, the date was April 17th. When Hank Williams died, his widow married Johnny Horton; he died on the same stretch of road as Williams. Finally, Sir Winston Churchill died 70 years to the day after his father.
