Chapters: Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Bobby Driscoll, Shirley Temple, Deanna Durbin, Hayley Mills, Margaret O'Brien, Vincent Winter, Peggy Ann Garner, Claude Jarman, Jr., Jon Whiteley, Ivan Jandl. Excerpt: Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm; June 10, 1922 - June 22, 1969) was an American actress and singer. Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years and for her renowned contralto vocal range, Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist and on the concert stage.

Book Description
Movie is considered to be an important art form; films entertain, educate, enlighten and inspire audiences. Film is a term that encompasses motion pictures as individual projects, as well as — in metonymy — the field in general. The origin of the name comes from the fact that photographic film (also called filmstock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist — motion pictures (or just pictures or "picture"), the silver screen, photoplays, the cinema, picture shows, flicks — and commonly movies.
