Sun, 11 February 2007 Judy Garland was among the most active film performers on radio during World War II. The war happened to coincide with the height of Garland's early film success, but she was also an enthusiastic participant in the war effort. On this episode, you'll hear Judy play Esther Blodgett, 12 years before her musical film version of A Star Is Born. You'll also hear a high-spirited episode of Mail Call, a popular variety show intended to build military morale.
Next time, Judy in the post-war years. Comments[1] |
