On This Day In Herstory (April 7, 1956)


Per David Price, "April 7, 1956 ... a candid moment during rehearsals for her second television outing on CBS-TV ... aired live on General Electric Theater.
They tried to inject a different style than in her Ford Star Jubilee television debut, yet this 30 minute special also received criticisms of the production while winning very high ratings.
As John Fricke stated in his WORLD'S GREATEST ENTERTAINER: "...reviews made it apparent that Judy Garland and television had yet to coalesce."

Please note: this photo is undated but was taken during the rehearsal period leading up to the "live" special on April 8th."
