The Plot Against JUDY GARLAND 1966-1967 ultra rare magazine/autobiography interview recording

Judy Garland had a bit of a history of agreeing to write her autobiography and then, either from losing interest or letting more important matters get in the way, dropping the project altogether. Not wanting to sue, the publishers would recoup the advance they gave Judy by selling whatever material they did get from her to a magazine for a cover story. That happened again in 1966 when, strapped for cash, Judy once again agreed to write a book. After starting the project with an assist from her publicist, and soon to be fiancé, Tom Green, her fortunes suddenly changed for the better when she got cast in a major movie and an extended East Coast concert tour was lined up for her by ex-husband, Sid Luft. Judy stopped work on the book and the publisher, looking to cut his losses, sold whatever material had been submitted to the Ladies Home Journal. The magazine published the story in 1967 as The Plot Against Judy Garland. Here is an hour's worth of Garland's recorded memories that were used as the basis for the article. Judy remembers her early childhood and complicated family relationships, and then discusses what had to have been her most bitter dealing with MGM.
