📘 The girl next door--and how she grew by Jane Powell

For someone who always played so happy and carefree on the screen, Jane Powell's life was actually quite sad. She felt disconnected from her family and many of her co-stars. This does not make a sad read, but was not the complete gloss job many of these autobiographies can be.

First publish date: 1988

📘 Judy and I

by Sid Luft

The third of Judy Garland's five husbands, Sid Luft was the one man in her life who stuck around. He was chiefly responsible for the final act of Judy's meteoric comeback after she was unceremoniously booted off the MGM lot: he produced her iconic, Oscar-nominated vehicle A Star Is Born and expertly shaped her concert career. Previously unpublished, Sid Luft's intimate autobiography tells his and Judy's story. The romance lasted Judy's lifetime, despite the separations, the reconciliations, and the divorce.
