A Star Studied Tribute to Judy Garland A diverse collection spanning over 40 years of journalism. Included are rare and previously unpublished interviews, feature stories, reviews, production notes and an article by Judy Garland herself. A unique celebration of a life which takes us 'over the rainbow' and straight to the heart of a Hollywood star, an enduring icon and a timeless legend.
This book is worth the price just for the chapter, "Raised on Judy, or What Chance Did a Boy Have." I have never seen Judy written about (and I have read a LOT) which such humor and compassion - especially what it was like growing up as a kid in the mid west during her years as a fading icon. Rick McKay's chapter is mah-velous. The rest of the book is quite good and a real Garlandophile's treat, but the McKay chapter could have been my life - or many of my friends' lives as well. It is a crime that this book is out of print. I would give it for Xmas every year!
Another Garland Book With a Slightly Different Angle

Rainbow: A Star-Studded Tribute to Judy Garland is a collection mostly consisting of magazine articles from the 1930s, '40s, '50s, '60s, and afterwards. There are a few other things, like MGM production notes for The Wizard of Oz, but it's almost all magazine excerpts, and it's interesting finding out just what the public's perception of her was, both before and after her death. Just don't go in looking for a deep character study.
it was an ok book
