Look Magazine April 10, 1962

To continue with some of the items my friend Lisa from New Jersey sent me awhile back I want to talk just a little about this wonderful full magazine---It's Look and dated April 10, 1962 with Judy on the cover as well as Liza, Lorna and Joe. The heading on the cover "Judy Garland Talks About Her Life, Her Work, Her Children.


The story begins on page 100and continues tp 110 with wonderful color as well as black and white photographs. The article says it was produced by Jack Hamilton and photogrpahs were taken by Douglas Kirkland. What gives this magazine an extra bonus is the article on pages 58A-58C is an article called "A Lover of Oz" by Grant M. Hast listed as photogrpaher and no-credits given for the short story.



I will say that I did see this at the Hartville Flea Market on Memorial Day Weekend in a booth of books and magazines and the gentleman selling it had it for $5.00. So I think if your in the right place at the right time you might be able to find it as well.



Well some rather sad news here on the collecting front--my brother decided to cancell our trip to Grand Rapids for Judy Fest and while it is a downer it makes me more determined than ever to save my money and try to go next year.



Of course this month for me is all about Judy--with Judy being born June 10, 1922 and than Judy dying June 22, 1969. This also marks 40 years since she passed away and I want to write something very special about Judy for here and try to make this whole month one that you my readers will remember and hopefully cherish.



I want to encourage you if you want to shre some of your thoughts about Judy--her career, her life, her impact on your life please feel free to contact me at CharlieDale9966@aol.com and with your permission of course I would than share it here, with notes crediting you.

The novelty of Judy Garland: Live at the London Palladium is the spectacle of the great entertainer sharing the stage with her up-and-coming daughter. In November 1964 Liza Minnelli was not yet 20 and not yet a Broadway success. She looks it: the coltish, appealingly gawky girl is still pretty raw (at one point after a costume change she yanks off her earrings just before launching into a song), and Garland seems alternately proud of and bemused by her. The video is pretty raw, too, a rough black-and-white affair that can best be described as serviceable in quality.

However, fans of this brand of showbiz razzmatazz will be satisfied with the duets between the women (especially trading verses on a medley of "Happy Days Are Here Again" and "Get Happy"). Judy opens the show with the reliable chest sweller "Once in a Lifetime" (no relation to the Talking Heads tune) and delivers a tutorial in song dynamics with "The Man That Got Away." She appears rather shrunken and tired but still comes on like a trouper, fending off the audience's constant heckling for "Over the Rainbow" (as though she might forget it?) before finally handing the song back to them as a touching sing-along.

This was Garland's last appearance at the Palladium. It's also a passing of the torch to Liza, who would later become the kind of polished dynamo embodied by her mother, more than capable of holding down her own one-woman shows.
