Judy

London England: W. H. Allen. Hardcover. Judy by Gerold Frank. Previous owners name to inside cover. Slightly rolled spine. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. This is unquestionably the definitive biography of the incomparable star, for unlike other writers, Mr. Frank has had access to all the Garland material - including family records, letters and contracts. He is the only writer to have had the full co-operation (given with the utmost candour) of Judy's children, husbands, relatives, fellow actors, and directors. Originally, he had been commissioned to help Judy write her autobiography, and so he heard her own stories from her own mouth. This is truly Judy - the real story of her relationships with her mother, with Louis B. Mayer and with the greats f Hollywood and the world. Here are the men in her life - those she loved, those she married. And here are the triumphs - the great films, the personal appearances in comebacks after comback before screaming mobs of admirers, the music, the glamour. And the nightmares - the pills, the psychiatrists, the suicide attempts.
