I thought this book would be about Judy Garland, instead, the bulk of the book was about her self-absorbed agent.

When Judy is mentioned, it is regarding her severe downward slope and all the various instances when the agent had to save Judy's attempts at harming herself. The story I found most sad was when Judy borrowed the agent's makeup, smashed the powered container against the window, then used the shards of glass to cut her face in very dynamic fashion.

Judy thrived on attention. Interestingly, she tried to commit suicide when she knew there were people who could help save her.

It's a sad story of Judy, and the incredible talent she had. The Hollywood atmosphere was brutal. Judy became drug dependent and abused alcohol. The agent describes Judy as consuming hundreds of pills a day. In addition, the agent wrote about New York City and those whom she acted as their agent.

I finished the book, but really in the end, felt very disappointed.

No Stars

I received this book for free from Member's giveaway. I actually made it to page 116 and finally gave up because I just didn't care anymore about the author. I know it sounds mean but I'm sorry your marriage is ending and that you had to deal with crazy Judy Garland. Such is life.

sometimes I felt it was TMI but in general the story moved right along and held my interest. Presented the more human side of mother and daughter.
