An entertainer of magical power, Judy Garland was also the woman of a hundred heartbreaks. Clarke recreates Garland's Hollywood, bringing to life the leading roles in her story: Louis B. Mayer, Lana Turner, Orson Welles, and Vincente Minnelli. With access to taped recordings--and her unfinished manuscript--Clarke is able to tell Garland's story as no one else has. Photos.
