Judy Garland: Liza Minnelli
built 634 days ago
This book, a big, glossy production, more than anything a photographic tribute but liberally salted with the adulatory quotes from friends that Judy would have feasted on, is meant as pure worship of the cult goddess that was Garland. John Fricke has written two books about Judy and Oz, and produced an Emmy-winning special called "Judy: Beyond the Rainbow." His work bears the imprimatur of Garland's family in the form of an intro by her daughter Lorna Luft and many stories and comments from Liza Minelli and her brother.

In May 1964, Garland undertook a tour of the Far East marred by illness. In November, she returned to the London Palladium, performing with her 18-year-old daughter, Liza Minnelli. The performance was filmed and recorded. A special was broadcast on British television in December, and a double album, "Live" at the London Palladium, was released on Capitol in August 1965, spending several months in the charts. Garland toured the U.S. during 1965. She married actor Mark Herron on November 14, 1965, just after her divorce from Sid Luft became final.
