NEW FORGOTTEN HOLLYWOOD SHOW ON THERAPYCABLE

   Episode #10 of FORGOTTEN HOLLYWOOD on THERAPYCABLE features guest John Fricke, author of The Wonderful World of Oz. As a Hollywood historian, his expertise is the life and times of Judy Garland.

   Sony Pictures Television Networks’ getTV has a weekly night of variety and talk programming from television’s Golden Age, airing weekly on Mondays. The lineup is headlined by The Judy Garland Show at 5p (pst). Each week’s programming will be repeated that same night at 8p (pst).

   One of the show’s many highlights features Garland’s show-stopping rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic, taped just days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The performance was intended to help heal the country, and still resonates with critics today.

   The amazing Judy Garland was a troubled soul, wracked with addiction to pain medication. Her involvement with the television variety show was an opportunity for the star to fight her addiction, and reach a whole new generation of viewers. Sadly, the program was cancelled after a year that Garland called one of her happiest times.
