"Towards the end of Judy's Garland's life, agent Irving 'Swifty' Lazar gave her a tape recorder and told her to dictate her autobiography. At this phase of her career Judy had just been ripped off for the television show she never wanted to do, and plagued with ex-husband Sid Luft's gambling debts and his trying to get custody of her children -- and boy, is she PISSED! Judy yells, Judy nods out from pills." You can listen to audio extracts from the tapes or order them here.
Thanks to Mike Daddino for this.
