October 9, 2015
This permanent A+lister who has an A list offspring could not finish what was to be her last movie. Her drug use was such that she was unable to stay coherent for more than an hour or two a day.

ReplyDeleteShe was up for the role of Helen Lawson ultimately played by Susan Heyward) in Valley of The Dolls and you can see in her screen test she was high as a kite.

ReplyDeleteOh, oh...I thought he meant a more recent role. My bad. Thanks

ReplyDeleteMight be Valley of the Dolls - Garland was originally cast in the role that Susan Hayward eventually played.
