description About

Between 1963 and 1967, Garland was down on her luck financially, and planned to write a biography. To aide in the process, she made these dictation recordings with a tape recorder provided by Irving “Swifty” Lazar. These tapes are a part of the Judy Garland archive at Columbia University. It wasn’t until Gerald Clarke made use of these recordings for book research in 2000 that they were released.
