Judy and Marilyn made any movies at the Astoria Studio that starred Garland and Monroe, which renamed the facility as Garland-Monroe Studios.

when Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, it was renamed Judy Garland Productions to release Garland's last titles. Garland, for example, sold Marilyn Monroe's movies back to Fox in 1963. in 1969, Judy Garland died and it was renamed to Garland Pictures Corporation, witch released Stant Toons:the Motion Picture in 1970. it was the second studio founded by Movie Stars, the first is United Artists.

in 1975, the company launched Judy Garland Television. it tried to become a Major Hollywood studio, but it's major status were cancelled and the plans has failed, so it was was sold to Columbia Pictures in 1980 and the Unfinished Garland Studio was sold to the newest film company called Orion Pictures. it has also beaten by Walt Disney Pictures, which became a major studio. it formed Garland Home Video.

in 1982, Coca-Cola purchased Columbia. in 1984, Garland became independent again and took Columbia's pre-1984 library, Universal's pre-1930 library, and Paramount's pre-1950 library and changed it's name to Judy Garland Entertainment. Garland also purchased Ragdoll Productions in 1986.

in 1994, Sony purchased Garland. Columbia TriStar Television had distributed all of Judy Garland's movies on Television. at least, Judy Garland Entertainment was absorbed into TriStar Pictures. Garland New Media is the copyright holder of the Pre-1984 Columbia Feature Film library, the pre-1930 Universal silent Feature Film library, the pre-1950 Paramount Sound Feature Film library, and the Ragdoll Production and Stant Studios libraries.

in 2008, Sony formed Garland Media to put all Garland films on Netflix, but are removed by 2015 after Fox CEO Jim Gianopulos sued Sony for releasing films starting Judy Garland. However, films starring Judy Garland are now available on Crackle, Amazon Video and GoDigital by order of Disney Corporation of America CEO Bob Iger and Entertainment One president Darren Throop, which saved Sony from being purchased by Fox.
