American actress and songstress Judy Garland is a gay icon. She rose to iconic status in the 1950s. At that time, many gay individuals admired her talent as a performer, and her value as a camp figure.[1] She was often parodied in drag revues. Garland's role as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz may be the foundation stone of her iconic status.
