Judy Gets Interviewed

One photo for today...just playing catch up with life. Judy Garland is not shown to her best advantage in this 1960s photograph shot by Willie Kee. I don't know squat about Kee, but if I had to guess, I would probably put this shot around 1964/1965.

Not quite as glamorous as Judy’s “A Great Lady Has an Interview” number of “Ziegfeld Follies” at MGM:

Shirley Joyrides

A vintage shot of Shirley Temple with singer James Melton. Here's the accompanying publicity blurb:

SHIRLEY LEARNS TO DRIVE "HORSELESS CARRIAGE!"

HOLLYWOOD, CALIF…James Melton, MGM's singing star, and collector of ancient horseless carriages, such as the one he is teaching Shirley Temple to drive. Melton has a collection of around seventy cars whose vintage date back to the gay nineties. 8/22/44

Melton was renting a house from actress/comedienne Zasu Pitts, who was the next-door neighbor of Temple's. Apparently Shirley enjoyed tooling around in Melton's vehicles. Nothing more than that, folks; the guy was twice Shirley's age and already married. His biggest break in Hollywood was the "La Traviata" segment of 1946's "Ziegfeld Follies."
