Check out a Judy Garland rarity!
Acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning AMERICAN MASTERS documentary JUDY GARLAND: BY MYSELF is set to re-air tonight on PBS and BroadwayWorld brings you an exclusive related clip featuring the iconic Hollywood star in an outtake from a classic movie musical.
In the clip, Garland performs "Look For The Silver Lining" in the 1946 MGM feature film TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY.
The official description of the PBS AMERICAN MASTERS episode JUDY GARLAND: BY MYSELF is as follows: "Winner of Two 2004 Emmys Features MGM Archival Material, Rare Radio Interviews, Outtakes, Childhood Performances, Garland's Greatest Hits and Clips From Garland's CBS Series Featuring Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Mickey Rooney and Ethel Merman. Picture a late night, amid the craziness of the 1960s, and see a vulnerable, largely misunderstood woman in her 40s. She's at home, or maybe on the road again. One thing is certain: she's alone, with just her thoughts for company, speaking randomly into a tape recorder. "I'm just trying to get a few things down," she says. "I'm all by myself, as usual. Don't know if anybody is interested, but I am. I'm just trying to be heard." The woman is Judy Garland, and heard she is, in AMERICAN MASTERS "Judy Garland: By Myself," the first film that drew on Garland's own words to tell her story. Culled from recordings she made in preparation for an autobiography she never finished, her writings and archival interviews, "By Myself" uniquely reveals Garland as she saw herself. "Do you realize how many people have talked about me, written about me, imitated me?" Garland says in the AMERICAN MASTERS documentary. "Well, it's high time to stop. This is the story of my life and I, Judy Garland, am gonna talk."
