She lived at full throttle on stage, screen, and in real life, with highs that made history and lows that finally brought down the curtain at age 47. Judy Garland died over 30 years ago, but no biography has so completely captured her spirit - and demons - until now.

From her tumultuous early years as a child performer to her tragic last days, Gerald Clarke reveals the authentic Judy in a biography rich in new detail and unprecedented revelations. Based on hundreds of interviews and drawing on her own unfinished - and unpublished - autobiography, Get Happy presents the real Judy Garland in all her flawed glory.

Here are her early years, during which her parents sowed the seeds of heartbreak and self-destruction that would plague her for decades… the golden age of Hollywood, brought into sharp focus with cinematic urgency, from the hidden private lives of the movie world’s biggest stars to the cold-eyed businessmen who controlled the machine… and a parade of brilliant and gifted men - lovers and artists, impresarios and crooks - who helped her reach so many creative pinnacles yet left her hopeless and alone after each seemingly inevitable fall.
