Reviews

[Matthew Watson · Rating 1 out of 5]

Another piece of garbage written by someone who can't tell fact from fiction or doesn't care. Sheridan Morley [son of Robert] had a reputation of doing this with other subjects. These ranged from Judy to James Mason to John Gielgud.

Lots of factual mistakes. THE WIZARD OF OZ premiered on tv in 1956 not 1976. Billie Burke played Glinda, not Binnie Barnes.

One of the best Judy photo books around.
