Judy Garland: By Myself (#1704)

For the first time on film, Judy Garland tells her own story, in her own words on AMERICAN MASTERS. Adored by millions, Garland became one of the consummate entertainers of the 20th century - all while raising three children caught in a very public spotlight. AMERICAN MASTERS Judy goes behind the headlines to reveal the complexities of the star's life and career. In an exclusive - and unprecedented -arrangement, Turner Entertainment granted the series unlimited access to the MGM archives. This special access allows the film to include extensive material from A Star Is Born as well as never-before-seen rehearsal footage, rare outtakes of Garland's numerous performances, and recordings Garland made in preparation for writing her autobiography - a book that was never published.

Education Record Rights: 12 months from each broadcast.
