1964 was a hard year for Judy Garland -- she was deeply in debt, a tour in Australia had ended very badly, and her television show was cancelled in March (the last taping was just one week before our check was written).The Judy Garland Show, which provided many famous performances of Garland's standards, was a commercial failure. The show went on to win four Emmys, but the cancellation was a major blow to the already fragile star.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
