Description

Garland secures representation in 1944 with Hollywood powerhouse Berg-Allenberg

DS, two pages both sides, 8.5 x 11, October 10, 1944. Standard AFRA exclusive agency contract between Garland and Phil Berg-Bert Allenberg Inc., for a period of three years. Signed on the final page in fountain pen by Garland. Punch and staple holes to top edge, scattered light toning and soiling, a couple pencil notations on first page, and a few wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. Interestingly enough, it was director and husband-to-be Vincente Minnelli who suggested Garland change representation to Berg-Allenberg. On the particular day Judy signed this document, she had a day off from filming The Clock. The following month, one of Garland’s most successful MGM films would be released—Meet Me in St. Louis. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
