Judy - Softcover

Based on over 200 interviews and full access to her personal papers, letters, contracts, and photos, as well as the complete cooperation of her children, husbands, relatives, doctors, fellow actors, and directors, this biography explores with candor and empathy the tempestuous, theatrical life of Judy Garland (1922-1969). Here, in all her glory and turmoil, is the singer-actress whose performances in films like The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, A Star Is Born, and on concert tours enthralled audiences, a woman whose brazen and tender voice continues to captivate listeners decades after her death at age forty-seven.

Gerold Frank was the bestselling author of The Deed, The Boston Strangler, and An American Death. He collaborated with Lillian Roth, Diana Barrymore, Sheilah Graham, and Zsa Zsa Gabor on their memoirs.
