{"product_id":"9780762443680","title":"Judy: A Legendary Film Career","description":"Through her incomparable work on screen, stage, record, radio, and television, Judy Garland earned renown as “The World’s Greatest Entertainer.” It was as a motion picture star though, that she first rose to international fame. From her feature film debut in 1936 through the aptly titled \u003ci\u003eI Could Go on Singing\u003c\/i\u003e in 1963, she lit up the screen with a magic uniquely hers—and dazzled world-wide audiences of all ages. Judy Garland starred in two dozen of the all-time classic movie musicals, among them \u003ci\u003eA Star is Born\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMeet Me in St. Louis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBabes in Arms\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Easter Parade\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFor Me and My Gal\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Harvey Girls\u003c\/i\u003e. Her dramatic turns in \u003ci\u003eJudgment at Nuremberg\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Clock\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Child is Waiting\u003c\/i\u003e won added acclaim. And perhaps most unforgettably, she starred as Dorothy Gale in the best-loved motion picture of all time: \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eJudy: A Legendary Film Career\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Garland’s movie work in unprecedented detail. Hundreds of never-before-published photos, newly-assembled contemporary reviews, insight from her costars and coworkers, and production histories are provided for each film in which she appeared. Highlighting and complimenting the feature films is a definitive biography; an examination of Judy’s short subjects; details of the movies she did not complete; and an enthralling compendium of film projects for which she was considered or rumored. The text is illustrated by more than five hundred photos, encompassing poster art; costume tests; behind-the-scenes candids; onstage and backstage glimpses of her theatrical successes; and personal snapshots. \u003ci\u003eJudy\u003c\/i\u003e is the exhaustively researched work of historian John Fricke. He celebrates as never before the heart, humor, and incandescent motion picture achievement of the one-and-only Judy Garland.","brand":"Running Press Book Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127778328816,"sku":"9780762443680","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780762443680_p0.jpg?v=1769904699","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780762443680","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
