Summary
""Judy Garland was an entertainment icon whose performances on stage, screen and television had a tremendous impact across decades and media. This film-by-film study of her work follows her progression from pigtailed child to a top motion picture star, with such timeless classics as The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis, and A Star Is Born. Garland's talent and versatility are explored through each of her movie roles. More than just a reference filmography, this work examines how Garland's talents were realized and understood by producers and the world. It analyzes the star's relationships with various co-stars and directors and details how she balanced her painful insecurities with her often focused and driven approach to her work."-Provided by publisher"--
