Judy Garland was one of the greatest entertainers of the twentieth century. As Yip Harburg, who composed the lyrics for "Over the Rainbow," wrote in a letter to Ms. Garland, "I would consider myself fully compensated and my life work richly rewarded because of your singing of Rainbow alone. It is a gift most writers are never lucky enough to know. Your voice, above all others, touches a song with immortality and carries in it the prayer and wonder of all mankind."

 

Judy Garland: The Movie Roles That Might Have Been is the only book the details the movie projects in which the singer/actress might have starred. Such projects range from films never made including Babes in Hollywood with Mickey Rooney and Cabbages and Kings with Van Johnson to motion pictures for which Judy was considered but another actress got the role. These include the musicals Good News and Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Where possible, the actual treatment or script tailored for Ms. Garland's talents is described in the book. Over ninety motion picture projects are represented.

 

Richard Irvin is the author of several books about the entertainment industry including The Most Obscure Cult TV Shows Ever, The Forgotten Desi and Lucy TV Projects, and Four Star Television Productions - all published by Bear Manor Media.
