RAVES FOR THE NEW GARLAND BOOK
Historian Fricke (100 Years of Oz: A Century of Classic Images) has compiled a fine collection of remembrances, facts, and photos chronicling the life, career, and unforgettable personal appearances of Judy Garland. Within her first ten years at MGM, Garland found full-fledged stardom, complete with wealth, fame, and all the harsh truths of show business. Fricke exposes the driving forces behind her career in sound, onstage, and on-screen, which often put her family life and health at risk, while bringing classic Hollywood fans a renewed respect for the determined star. In addition, he succeeds in providing readers with a plethora of information on every performance, highlighting the thoughts of costars, friends, and Garland herself.
Verdict: Much like Darrell Rooney and Mark A. Vieira's recent book on Jean Harlow, Harlow in Hollywood, Fricke's volume brings us never-before-published photos, commentary, and the most complete tribute available to one of the world's best loved stars. Highly recommended for Judy Garland fans.—R. LeMaster, Medina Cty. Dist. Lib., OH
