On This Day In Herstory (May 8, 1949)


Per David Price, "May 8, 1949 ... at M-G-M on the set of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, working on the "Doin' What Comes Naturally" number. One of two surviving musical numbers Judy filmed before being released from the film, this song gives us a glimpse of what Judy's version of Annie Oakley would have been like ... as compared to the mostly manic performance Betty Hutton would provide in the finished film. It remains to this day one of the biggest "if only ..." moments in Garland's M-G-M days."
