Golden Hollywood

Teenager Judy Garland was still a year away from stardom when she appeared in the family musical comedy Everybody Sing, in 1938. Artist Ted Ireland, as Vincentini, created this wholesome rendering of pre-Dorothy Judy for a 2 page trade promotion for the film. The text told of her discovery by the studio only months earlier and her quick rise to fame.
