During the production of the MGM Studios classic The Wizard of Oz, the studio kept actress Judy Garland on a harsh diet of black coffee, chicken soup, and cigarettes in order to ensure that she kept her figure during filming. So, to make sure that she kept to this strict diet, she was also medicating with a mixture of amphetamines and barbiturates so she could still perform while on such a limited diet. In the end, she continued this habit and led a lifetime battle of drug and alcohol addiction that eventually claimed her life at the age of 47.
