List of Judy Garland biographies

List of Judy Garland biographies

Judy Garland has been the subject of many biographies. Since her death in 1969, she has been the subject of some two dozen books. The first of these was Brad Steiger's "Judy Garland", published shortly after her death, which includes information on Garland's astrological chart, analysis of her handwriting, numerology and biorhythms. Most of the books are entirely about Garland, but three merely feature a chapter about her. These are Patricia Fox-Sheinwold's "Too Young to Die", "Some Are Born Great" by Adela Rogers St. Johns and Jane Ellen Wayne's "The Golden Girls of MGM". Two volumes, "Rainbow's End: The Judy Garland Show" by Coyne Steven Sanders and Mel Tormé's "The Other Side of the Rainbow: On the Dawn Patrol With Judy Garland", focus on Garland's television series, "The Judy Garland Show". Garland's last husband co-authored an early biography in 1972 and Garland's daughter Lorna Luft wrote a family memoir in 1988.

Garland has been profiled on-screen several times. The earliest known film biography was a 1961 installment of the syndicated television series "Hollywood Hist-o-rama", which covered her career through the filming of "A Star is Born". Garland was the subject of episodes of the British series "Omnibus", "60 Minutes", "Biography" and the "E! True Hollywood Story". Her life story was fictionalized in "Rainbow" in 1978 and in 2001 in "", based on daughter Luft's memoir. On stage, Garland is a character in "The Boy from Oz", a 2003 musical based on the life of former son-in-law Peter Allen, and the 2006 play "The Property Known as Garland", based on tape recordings made prior to her last ever concert appearance.
