A TRIBUTE TO JUDY VAN HERPEN, WITH MEMORIES AND EXCERPTS FROM THE 1964 BETTE DAVIS INTERVIEW

 by "Judy's Gang"

Judy Van Herpen, 
a much loved friend and devoted Judy Garland fan all her life, 
known for attending almost every taping of "The Judy Garland Show" CBS series and whom Judy Garland herself called one of her "gang", 
sadly passed away in May 2013.

"Our friend (of 50 years!) Judy Van Herpen.  It's so hard for me to share my feelings for our friend.  I think when you've known someone for that many years, and have gone through so much together, you tend to take things for granted. We shouldn't, I know, but I think that's what we sometimes do.


We were born the same year, in fact. We were both just out of high school in June of l963 - that summer when Judy Garland started taping her Series at CBS Television City. We were all of 17 years old at the time! I felt a bond with Judy from the moment I met her. Of course, we always had the Judy Garland bond. All of us who met because of Judy Garland felt that way. But Judy Van Herpen was someone I felt I'd always known.

Judy was super intelligent, had a GREAT sense of humor, and was fiercely protective of Judy Garland. No one would DARE say anything against her - within earshot of her! I'll forever remember her great smile and quick wit - which are some of the things I always looked forward to whenever we were all able to get together over the years. And the fact that she was a good and decent person. How I wish she had taken better care of herself. I know "Judy's Gang" will never be the same now that she's left us. We all saw Judy Garland so many times together over the years - from TV shows to Vegas, to the Greek Theatre, and on and on and on.

We all love and miss you, Judy. You'll be in our hearts forever."

Love, 
Maureen

"Judy was the best. A loyal true friend. Always funny and down to earth. 
Eleanor, Maureen, Margo and Judy VH patiently
waiting outside of CBS Television City in December 1963



Even though we didn't talk as much as she and Margo (Slaughter) did, whenever we did spend time together, it was like yesterday was the last time. 



I will miss her forever."

xoxoxo,
Elly




"As I look back at our fifty years of friendship, I know that I am the better for the fifty years she gave me. I was eleven when we met and she was my first experience with a wit extraordinaire! She was so smart, sharp and funny. Three years ago, when she drove us to San Diego for the strangest Judy concert ever, we had such fun. We never stopped talking and laughing that whole trip. It was as if fifty -- ouch! -- years hadn't passed. 

 Reunions of "Judy's Gang" at CBS-TV City - in 1978 and 2003.
We lived one of the greatest and luckiest experience ever. Glad that we shared so much and she will forever be in my heart and in my funny bone! If she read this she would be complaining about my grammar. I am sure that she continues clipping articles as we speak…" 


Norman





"When we were kids hanging out at CBS, I remember Judy's quick-wit sense of humor. Rapid-response quipster! We kept in touch via mail (remember that?) and reunited 40+ years later at our first Bench-kids reunion with George Sunga at CBS, that I believe Judy organized. Judy, Margo, Maureen, Elly, Norman and I all got together a few years later in the Valley. I'll always treasure our times together…

Speaking of "mail", I have a Judy-Traveling Postcard Story to share. When Judy VH and the Wenches went to see Judy Garland in Vegas, I couldn't be there but Judy VH sent me a beautiful JG picture postcard. On the back of the card, Judy VH signed it "Love, Judy."


Over the years, I often wondered what happened to that postcard. But after my bud, Al DiOrio passed, his sister found it going through his collection! I think I had lent it to Al when he was writing "Little Girl Lost." Thinking the message was written by Judy Garland herself, she sent it to me that Christmas -- where it sits on my computer desk today.


This postcard found it's way back home and remains a constant memory of happy times with Judy Van Herpen."

JUDY IN HOLLYWOOD 2 the final chapter


Earlier this month Jan Glazier threw another one of her famous Judy events. This year's extravaganza was called Judy In Hollywood 2. Here is a the last chapter of the report on the event by TJGE member Tracy Terhune that was originally published on Yahoo and is being republished here with Tracy's permission (as well as his personal photos from the event,). 



JUDY IN HOLLYWOOD (continued)
By Tracy Terhune



Saturday


CBS… C. B. S.

CBS TV!!!


We all gathered in anticipation at CBS Television City at 9:30am to get a guided
tour of Stage 43 by George Sunga, no less! Our tour would start and begin at
the same place, the CBS Artist entrance. Since I had been on the same tour on
JIH #1 the area was familiar to me. Jan and Frankie had put together a tri-fold
brochure of archival photos provided by various people that showed people including
Judy, Joey and Lorna all coming and going up/down the very same steps with the
very same red railings still in place today just as they were 50 years ago.

Inside the lobby our names were checked off a list on a clipboard by a young CBS
page. Once the full group was together we went down the fabled hall, the very
same path that Judy took upon her daily arrival at CBS. The hallways were
adorned with oversize photos of various artists associated with the network.
Jack Benny, Carol Barnett, Dinah Shore. I looked for Judy but did not see any.
However there were many more corridors that perhaps hers was down there. We
were whisked to the right and a huge freight elevator was made available so we
could all fit in at one time and the elevator slowly ascended to the 2nd floor.
Once we reached the floor and the lift opened, we were almost blocked in by
various props used on the Price Is Right show. We navigated past several
`games' spin dials, etc., which were in our path. George Sunga led the troupe
and he stopped at a particular spot, and noted that all that we had seen behind
us was added since Judy's show. He showed the separation in the floor and hall
and that Judy's trailer had been right here at this location.
He noted that a
yellow brick road had been painted on the floor leading to the door of Stage 43.

This was the same route Judy took to the stage from her dressing room! Once you
opened the door at Stage 43 there was a narrow short corridor that lead you
directly into Stage 43. How exciting to be tracing the same steps Judy took
each day she shot the 26 episodes of the show.
Once inside, the stage was totally dark and George Sunga implored the CBS Page
to find the lights. He only turned on what was called the work lights which
still left the stage pretty dark. Also, different from last time (JIH#1) we had
all the lights on, there was a larger area in the middle of the stage where a
group photo was taken. Sadly, this time there was no room for such a photo op.

However I got a few shots of the stage and George patiently explaining where
everything was located such as Judy's runway, and the orchestra., where the
regular guests sat, where the VIP section was.
George Sunga and Eleanor Lyon

 I remember looking at the padded walls, a typical sound stage of course, but
thinking these very same walls at one time boomed with the sounds of The Judy
Garland Show. I inquired of George Sunga what door the audience came in from,
as we had just entered the door Judy used.
All these questions and more, were answered. George went to great
lengths to explain many of the technical obstacles of 1963 vs how easy it is
today. What an experience for a Judy Garland fan! Once back outside we were
treated to first-hand recollections by Bench Wench Eleanor Lyon. She audibly
recalled so many wonderful in person memories of waiting for Judy to arrive/exit
the various tapings of the show, that it seemed to all be a surreal dream to be
standing right there, in the very spot where all of her stories took place.
Wonderful is an understatement. Thank you SO much Eleanor.

Then everyone was on their own for lunch. Most dashed over to the famed
Farmer's Market that resides next door. Everyone would later gather for the
grand finale at Matteo's restaurant that evening.


Matteo's

I arrived a bit early for this evening. Overly excited perhaps, as I had
already been informed that I was to sit at George Schlatter's table. Me? at
the table of the original producer of The Judy Garland Show?! I couldn't even
believe he had agreed to attend the event, now I was to sit at his table!

I wanted to be there to absorb every detail and as fate would have it, it was a
night we will all remember, and for good reason. As I got there, audio
equipment was still being set up by Richard Glazier and Frank Labrador. Details
of who's sitting where, were being settled. Stella was placed at the top of the
stairwell to check guests in against the list. First to arrive was Joe Luft who
was his usual quiet, reserved self. Graciously, he posed with photos for anyone
who asked him. He answered all questions with a quiet dignity. I got a photo
taken with him as well as taking one pairing him with the just-arrived Margaret
O'Brien. What a treat!
Margaret O'Brien and Joe Luft

Within moments a booming, commanding voice was heard. Yes, George Schlatter had
arrived solo. Richard Glazier introduced him within moments in the lobby to
Frank Labrador and told him about the JGS documentary Frank was working on. I
happened to be standing there (fancy that!) and I joined the chorus of verbal
praise of the documentary. George was asking Frank what he planned to do with
his material, and then asked about the rights to the photos. After every answer
from Frankie, George had a "… then what?" rebuttal. Not mean, it was just he
wanted to know the details. I injected that the real "gem" of the documentary
was the original audio interviews that Steve Sanders had conducted that have
remained unheard for over 25 years. George nodded at that. He quickly waved
Frankie and I out onto the adjacent patio saying it would be cooler. There for
the next almost 40 minutes George Schlatter held court.
Tracy Terhune, George Schlatter, and Frank Labrador

Boosted by a round or two of Grey Goose on the rocks, he began to tell his Judy
Garland Show stories and then would stop himself. begin laughing & saying…. `
I'm going to get into SOOOO much trouble tonight…" At first it was just Frankie
and I there, then others began to gather around.
When I mentioned or referred to Steve's book Rainbow's End he drew a blank.
I went to our dinner table and fetched my copy that I had brought with me.
He took the book looked it over, saying he had never owned nor read the completed book.
George Schlatter

 He began to thumb through Rainbows End and even began to read aloud passages
from it and then George would tell us his version of the story he had just read.
George then told us one particular story then returned to look thought the book,
turned the page, and there was that very story he had just told us! He seemed
very pleased at pointing that out. He admitted that the book was fantastic and
asked for a copy if anyone had one. Frankie said he would make sure he got one.
George Schlatter, Meredith Ponedel, and Joan Beck Coulson

Did I mention he held court? At one point he noticed Meredith Ponedel standing
off to the side, silent just taking all this in. He leaned over telling her to
"keep it down" and everyone laughed. Meredith introduced herself and her
family association with Judy. Joan Coulson came over and introduced herself.
She talked about her book and the use of photos. She asked if she could use
some of George's photos. He grasp her hand and leaned in saying in a stage
whisper "….well, you may have to fool around a little…" and everyone including
George had a laugh. Story after Garland story was told. He howled at the
mention of Mel Torme's name. He said that Mel always tried to write as if he
was at the center of decisions when in truth he was just an musical arranger.
He also said that he did not believe Mel's book that said Judy called him late
night… He said that yes Judy called people but that Mel was down here (to
emphasize he leaned from the table and put his hand near the floor) on the list
of whom she'd call. Not finished, he said why would she call Mel? that Mel was
more F*@!#! Up than she was. Talk about being saved by the bell.. dinner was
starting and everyone made their way to their seats. The impromptu discussion
on the patio was something truly memorable. The unchecked candor of Mr. George
Schlatter was refreshing.

The official start of the evening had our wonderful producer Jan Glazier thank
everyone and turned it over to Richard Glazier who introduced our guests.
Margaret O'Brien came up and spoke a few words. Joe Luft as well as Margaret
were introduced in short well done videos. Then introduced as a "legend" who's
joined us I assumed he was going to introduce George Schlatter, but imagine my
shock when he called the name of Randall Malone. What? Well soon George
Schlatter as well as George Sunga were introduced to a round of applause.

Dinner was served and was quite good and the hostess was prompt about refilling
water glasses and small requests that people may have. Just before desert,
George Schlatter leaned over to George Sunga and said that we need to get this
going… that he couldn't be there all night. George Sunga informed those that
need be, and without delay the show was started. I never did get desert that
night. However the show to unfold was sheer 30 minutes of POW. George Sunga
introduced George Schlatter and without much prodding, George began to tell his
stories of the series and even called out to the audience to Joe Luft saying
"your father… what a piece of work" but it was done in jest and good fun. He
loved seeing Margaret O'Brien and they got on a back-and-forth banter with each
other that was quite funny and lively. Judy Garland stories, just as on the
patio poured forth and all of us were the dry sponges to absorb the clever,
funny, stories first hand.
Margaret OBrien, Sam Irvin, Joe Luft, and George Schlatter

When the famed producer stepped down from his stool, the party was over.
Everyone seemed to swarm our table to get a photo with George to catch his ear
for one more question. He was gracious to accommodate everyone. He did come
talk with both Margaret and Joey before he left for the evening. While the
event was taped, George Sunga who arranged Mr. Schlatter's appearance that
evening allowed the taping ONLY on the provision that no copies could be made
without Mr. Schlatter's permission, and he had the final edit rights and also
could nix things should he feel he didn't want that material released.

Ruth Turner stepped forward to present a small bouquet of flowers to Jan Glazier
in a small token of gratitude from all of us.
Ruth Turner and Jan Glazier

Thus the curtain came down on Judy In Hollywood II

I am thankful to all the old friends and new that I met at JIH II It goes
without saying the guiding force of the brilliant Steve Sanders was evident
throughout the whole weekend and his loss to the Judy community will be felt for
years to come.

JUDY IN HOLLYWOOD the second time around

Event organizer Jan Glazier and filmmaker Frank Labrador

Earlier this month Jan Glazier threw another one of her famous Judy events. This year's extravaganza was called Judy In Hollywood 2. Here is a report on the event by TJGE member Tracy Terhune that was originally published on Yahoo and is being republished here with Tracy's permission (as well as his personal photos from the event, with additional photos supplied by Hannah Brown). 


JUDY IN HOLLYWOOD
By Tracy Terhune


I thought I would add some narrative to the wonderful photos being shared here by other members of the Judy Experience who attended the JUDY IN HOLLYWOOD. 

First off, hats off to Jan, Frankie and Steve Sanders who really were the guiding force for making behind this charming event. It was respectful that with Steve's sudden passing that the event was dedicated in his honor.



On Wednesday night we gathered at the Beverly Garland hotel for a reception-mixer. Finger food lined one side of the room and a bar tucked in to the corner. Once checked in, with Judy Garland songs floating in the air in the background, guests could mingle, find a seat and soon the program was under way. We had wonderful videos provided by Richard Glazier who interviewed Gene Allan who had worked on A Star Is Born as production designer. He is naturally a bit elderly and once referred to A Star Is Born as My Fair Lady. Also was a very funny Punchy Players Judy- Ann Miller video that had been created and tailored to our Judy In Hollywood festival. Too funny. It's now available for viewing on Youtube. Check it out, if you haven't already.



We had a guest speaker Robert L. Freedman, who had written the TV script "Me & My Shadows; Life With Judy Garland". He talked at length about his involvement and how he had to compress components of various members of her life into one person.

He said he never went to the set during shooting (It was filmed in Canada) He then ended his segment with a 
Q&A. 




I had brought two costumes for display that I had purchased from auction that had been worn/used in the movie. The 1969 wedding dress and the off-camera OZ jumper. They made a nice backdrop for Mr. Freedman's talk.






Original costumes from Me And My Shadows

With a knock on the door it opened and who was there to start our festivities off – feeling a song coming on? …in walked Peter Mac who does a Judy Garland impersonation act. While I admit these things are usually not my cup of tea…, I rather enjoyed his songs and banter. To me, he sounded nothing like Judy but had some of her mannerisms and vocal inflections, It was all done in good taste and good fun. Peter had made up special printed cards just for our event. He scheduled a special show on Friday night, after hours.


Is Joan Beck Coulson asking Peter Mac if he accepts credit cards?
Film at eleven.

On Thursday morning everyone met to get on the bus to be transported to the Warner Bros VIP Tour. The Warner Bros lot is postage stamp size compared to where I work (Universal) but it still had a lot of Judy connections from A Star Is Born which I was anxious to see. Our guide, Rance was openly vocal how pleased that he had a crowd that loved `old Hollywood' rather than what his usual tour guests who considered Dukes of Hazard old Hollywood!! He made it a point to show us the remaining structures on the Warner Bros lot that are associated with Judy Garland.
First stop: the Theater on their NY street that can be seen as Norman escorts Esther and he sees the marquee with one of his pictures and he assures Esther she's in luck that his picture is so bad….


We posed for our first group photo under the empty marquee. We were shown other things that were non-Judy and the next one was the walk over bridge between buildings that is seen in the film, if I recall in the part where she's being taken to all the departments upon her signup.
We were also shown the location of where the artist payroll scene where she gets her name changed to Vicki Lester.

That actual building is now gone, but the camera pans around as she walks off with her check, and the surrounding area is all still there intact. 




Next up on our Judy sites was Norman Maine's bungalow. It looked very much like it did in the film and we got to walk right up to it and take as many photos as we liked.











We then went to the property department which was impressive as they have exhibits of furniture from famous films with stills there to show you how it looked. We were shown a couple of what looked like Chinese style boxes that he said were used in Norman Maine's bedroom scene.



Our last Judy spot on the tour got a bit derailed as someone was shooting a scene exactly where our guide wanted us to be. This was the walkway scene where Judy exits the makeup session and passes Norman and he doesn't recognize her. It's still there and looks exactly the same. Sadly, due to the filming, we had to view it from the opposite angle that was used in the film, but it was instantly identifiable to me.







This concluded our Judy @ Warner Bros Tour, and we boarded the bus and were whisked down to Hollywood Blvd for lunch at the famous Musso's & Franks restaurant. After lunch this concluded the day's events and everyone was on their own for what they wanted to do for the evening.




Part 2
Friday

The morning started off for an all day session @ The Hollywood Heritage Museum.  
Its a fabulous historic building which was used by Cecil B. DeMille when he came to Hollywood to shoot the 1st feature length film done in Hollywood.  It sat on the Paramount lot for almost 80 years until it was moved to across the street from the Hollywood Bowl.  Its been turned into a museum on the early origins of Hollywood, but today it would be Judy Garland Central - as everyone gathered for the days festivities.   Large "Judy In Hollywood"  posters were placed about the museum including a laminated one which everyone was encouraged to sign.


To start the day Tom Barnes kindly brought his 16mm projector and provided us with his private print of one of Judy's concert episodes of the TV series.  He introduced the film and set the tone of the day by mentioning that Steve Sanders had asked him to show this print to start our days events.  I wondered how receptive everyone would be as most of us have seen the show many times.  As in all things Judy, it was magical!  Projected on a large screen a room with all the Bench Wenches & 2 Bench Dudes, and all the JIH attendees, and the memory of Steve in the air, there was an undeniable electricity. 
Next up was the Kay Thompson author Sam Irvin who spoke at length about the history of Kay and his new book that he was promoting.  He spoke a really long time, and in my opinion this segment was my least favorite presentation of the weekend.  He certainly knew his subject and I don't mean  to imply otherwise.  Yes Kay and Judy were associates but his talk really did not go much into Judy at all, however at the conclusion of his talk he did show a brief slide show that had several shots that included Judy as well as Liza.

Right after his talk Mr. Irvin was signing books in the lobby and people were "milling about" I noticed an older couple standing in the back against the wall.  I walked up and introduced myself, fearing they had wandered into the museum thinking it was a normal operating day, and were lost.  It turns out it was Mr. and Mrs Christopher Finch!  the famed author of "Rainbow"  I enjoyed talking with him very much and hearing his stories of his research and people he had interviewed such as Tom Drake who's name came up in our conversation.  I had brought my copy of the book for him to sign and I grabbed Frank Labrador to take our photo.  He mentioned his wife Linda had assisted him in doing research on the book and he gave her credit for the book even though his name was on the cover. 


Tracy Terhune and Christopher Finch

It was then announced that a caravan of cars would dash everyone across the street to a backstage tour of the famed Hollywood Bowl.  Of course we all know Judy's historic concert there, so there was no pleading with people this time, to "hurry up"  they were ready!

   I myself have been there many times so I decided to stay at the Barn and I am sure glad I did! 
With the Museum mostly empty I noted the Bench Wenches and Dudes standing around talking and I walked over and had a wonderful 35 min one -on- one with them asking questions, getting to hear in person their stories first hand. What a thrill!  This was my first time to meet Margo Slaughter, Ken Young, and Norman Chramoff. 


Judy's bench warmers. Two of the original Bench Wenches, Eleanor Lyon and Margot Slaughter, pose with their beloved Bench Dudes Norman Charmoff and Ken Young.

   Norman even told me his personal story of being in NYC when Judy died in 1969 and how he had gotten in the long line at Campbell's to walk past Judy's bier 3 times, that is how much she meant to him.   You cant put a price on stories like this.   Margo was so thrilled when I asked her about when I watch the shows I am always amazed at the lack of applause.  I called it 'polite applause' at best, in most cases.  She said she was so glad I brought that up, that the studio would pack the one section with VIP guests who were given tickets for one reason or another but had no more than a passing interest in Judy.  She had noticed this even in 1963.  Well, I got that question answered!  I had always wondered about that.




By this time everyone returned and Jan introduced Christopher Finch, who talked about the book, "Rainbow" and recalled marvelous stories including one about going to Fred Astaire's home to interview him and how Fred sort of blew him off politely, saying he 'lived in the present'... and Mr. Finch got up and politely said "Mr. Astaire, I fear I have been wasting your time...." and got up to leave, and Fred Astaire leapt up and apologized and sat down and told his whole Judy story.  That was just one little chestnut he shared with us in his talk.  He later opened it up to a Q&A
Then everyone waited in excitement as Frank Labrador took to the podium to introduce his 'work in progress' documentary on the Judy Garland Show.  This year being the 50th anniversary of the launch, he told us Steve Sanders had given him access to his original audio recordings of the interviews he conducted in preparation for his book Rainbows End.   The lights were dimmed and the documentary unfolded.  What a masterpiece!  I kept thinking oh, how proud Steve would be of Frankie's work.   Frank has shown his skills time and again with his editing, but truly this was his finest hour.   He had mined several private photo collections for rare behind the scenes shots, most I had never seen.  All this was combined with voice overlays of those Steve interviewed such as Jayne Meadows and Steve Allan, and so many more I cant recall now.  I can tell you his video was given a standing ovation at the conclusion and that included all the bench wenches and dudes and George Sunga who was in attendance. He was production supervisor for the show.

After a brief break we were summoned back to our seats for the final segment of the (now) evening.  "Tribute To Steve Sanders" started off with a wonderful 4 minute film lovingly done by a former room-mate of Steve's and who is an editor himself. Sorry, but his name escapes me at the moment.  After his touching video, he shared his memories of Steve and was visibly moved.   Frankie had previously selected a number of people to read messages for friends of Steve who could not be in attendance.  First up was Randy Henderson who shared a very heartfelt  piece submitted by Judy Experience Founder Daniel Berghaus.  Randy then spoke on his own behalf touching on knowing Steve for almost 35 years and mentioned the Sid Luft 'A Star Is Born" screening Steve had arranged, which turned out to be Sid's last pubic appearance.  Others speaking on behalf of Steve Sanders included the wonderful, delightful Joan Coulson.  Joan had attended the first show taping @ CBS when she worked there.  She also had attended several of Judy's London concerts. 
She read a passage from Gary Horrocks and then from her own heart.  Very moving.  Tears were in everyone's eyes, this was such an emotional day!  Then Ruth Turner spoke so passionately about interacting with Steve and recalled him visiting her and her husband Robert in their home.  I was last to speak (hopefully not least) and I read a piece submitted by respected collector Charles Triplett.  Charles shared his memories with Steve which he included both of their mothers were named Margaret!  Then I read my own remarks on Steve, who meant so much to me.  In fact his last message to me was thanking me for getting use of the Museum for the Judy In Hollywood event and that he would be in town a few extra days after, and we could have 1 on 1 time.  My remarks about Steve:
I find it hard to put into words - my feelings about him.  I dearly loved Steve. I thought the world of him.  Friends of his caliber are a treasured breed. Steve was without a doubt one of the funniest guys I have ever met. What a wit, what a turn of phrase!!   With his death, what a tremendous void has been inflicted upon the Judy Garland community. Yes, we've lost one of our own. Coyne Steven Sanders is a iconic example of the impact of one man .  Of the difference one man can make in the world.  What If he had not lived?  There would be no Rainbows End.  Can you even fathom that book not being on your bookshelf in your arsenal of Judy Garland books? 
When my dog Bosco passed away a couple years ago, Steve reached out to me, sending me an email saying "I will pray for you and him.... he will be waiting for you....I don't care what any church says... my cat Spike will be up in heaven when I get there waiting for me, and Bosco will be waiting for you... I just know it."
Today we gather here to remember the gift of his life -  both professional and private. Our grief is beyond words..... yet I still find myself trying to grasp the right ones.   Yes, Steve, I will miss the extended telephone calls, Steve I will miss our Judy Parties, Steve, I will miss the restaurant adventures... I will miss the laughter you brought about. IT WAS YOU. Its with great sadness. that I stand here today to say farewell to a wonderful, friend.  Steve - "I just know it" that you have Spike in your lap at this very moment as you look down in approval.  I will always be a part of your life, and you a part of mine.   I will remember you.... always.

This concluded the days events.   That night several went to the club "Oil Can Harry's" to see Peter Mac do his Judy Garland show.
