Description de l'ouvrage :
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 pig-tailed 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 as an actress 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 relatonships with various co-stars and directors and details how she balanced her painful insecurities with her often focused and driven approach to her work. Through the context of her work on film, Judy Garland’s innate and enduring star power is readily appreciated and acknowledged.
