Fun fact: Judy Garland was paid less than her costars
Judy Garland’s salary: $500 a week.
Ray Bolger’s salary: $3,000 a week.
Jack Haley’s salary: $3,000 a week.
Bert Lahr’s salary: $2,500 a week.
Surprisingly, she was paid more than Toto. Toto’s salary: $125 a week.

Wasn’t she an unknown, while they were all famous stars, though?
The same happens today.
“The cast of Moana earned a total of $56 million. Auli’i Cravalho, who voiced the title character, made $200,000. Dwayne Johnson, who voiced Maui, earned $21 million. Temuera Morrison, who voiced Moana’s father, earned $2 million.”
I’m not excusing any of the ways they abused Garland. But it made her a star and she earned far more in future roles, just like Cravalho now commands a much higher salary.
Yeah Judy Garland was horribly abused. Physically, mentally, sexually, forced to take drugs to control her.
That’s even more than I thought she would have made though. That’s $11,000 a week adjusted for inflation.
Nothing compared to the $66,000 a week the others earned though.
