Judy also worked one day on Harlow in 1965.There are four films that Judy actually began but did not complete: So, while many projects were in fact legitimate, many were fictitious. Some of the mentions are most likely the product of the MGM publicity department, which was adept at keeping a star’s name in the papers by sending out news notices to papers and the columnists. Columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons regularly mentioned her name in new blurbs about a variety of film projects.
Composers Oscar Hammerstein and Jerry Herman both exclaimed that when they wrote a song they would imagine how “Judy Garland would sing it.” As a result, Judy’s name was attached to many projects that either did not get past the planning stages or were eventually made with other stars. June Allyson later explained: “If they could have put her in every single film, they would have.” Everyone wanted to work with her. At MGM she was regularly the first choice for their latest musical, especially in the fabled Freed Unit (which she helped create). That’s an exaggeration, but her talent was so revered that she was always in demand and usually at the top of most wish lists. Judy Garland was considered, even in passing, for every musical made in Hollywood during the Golden Age. 1967 – Valley of the Dolls (unfinished).1946 – Till The Clouds Roll By (spotlight).1943 – Presenting Lily Mars (spotlight).Miscellaneous (Radio, Concerts, TV, etc.).
