Описание: This unique biography of the superstar born Frances Ethel Gumm in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, is based on talks with people who actually knew her - from the 90-something woman in Grand Rapids who used to babysit the star to the producers, nightclub owners, musicians and friends who experienced all the problems Judy had, as well as her great successes. We hear how she was shunned by local people when she made her only visit back to her birthplace by people who considered her a Jezebel; how her father was shunted out of town because he was gay; and how she was overworked while making The Wizard of Oz. The man who established the first Judy Garland fan club tells how he reluctantly walked out of one of her performances because she was so bad.

Stevie Phillips, the 'carer' imposed by Judy's agents describes her as a 'train wreck' and the son of the man who employed her at New York's biggest night club describes how she let him down and failed to appear for shows. In Hollywood, we see that the son of the doctor who was her father's friend went to MGM asking them to cancel a contract because the work pressure was too hard. But then we also hear how she was sacked from Annie Get Your Gun and went through the MGM corridors in war paint and carrying her tomahawk 'looking for someone to scalp' as TV-producer George Slaughter put it.

This is a bitter-sweet story: sad and funny and very human. Don't look for star names in this book - they are not there. These are personal stories from the sort of people few biographers have bothered to talk to, but who provide the best and the truest tales.

Описание: Praised as "undoubtedly the best of the many books on Judy Garland" by no less a critic than John Lahr (the son of Bert Lahr, the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz), Anne Edwards's biography attempts to present a complete picture of the late actress, and not just the boozing, drug-addicted caricature of a woman that is central to lesser biographies. From Edwards's account we learn, for example, that Garland saw it as her duty to provide for her family financially, a generosity that her mother Ethel exploited with disastrous results. A student of great poets--Shelley, Keats, and Browning in particular--she often tried her own hand at verse; surviving poems are reproduced here. Above all Judy Garland sought to please, whether it was an audience or a studio head, and therein lies her powerful and heartbreaking story.

Описание:

Are you afraid of the dark?

"Once upon a time the Moon was always full..."
At least, that's what Mug, the old groundskeeper, told Will at camp one day.

The summer before seventh grade would forever change the way Will thought about the world, and draw him into an epic struggle that stretched back to the dawn of time.

The Moon is in danger, or so Mug says, and only Will is in a position to do something about it. Well... if the bully Rodney doesn't pulverize him first.

Can Will choose between his scientific observations and Mug's crazy stories that can't possibly be true, yet feel right? The Moon hangs in the balance between Will's head and his heart.

Follow Will and his friends on an adventure on which, of course, all existence is at stake.
Wouldn't be fun otherwise, would it?
