Judy Garland was an extremely talented actress and singer who fought against psychological problems and a horrible drug addiction for many years, according to her agent Stevie Phillips.

Phillips became Garland’s shadow in the 60’s, and portrays the star’s life shockingly in her new book, released 46 years after the famous woman’s death.

She states that Garland was a woman whose mind was completely destroyed by drugs and alcohol. She also mentions that Garland had tried to self-immolate in a New York hotel in 1961.

Phillips also describes another attempted suicide, where Garland was slitting her veins, smiling at her assistant madly. Garland, according to Phillips, always wanted company and wanted to be loved for who she was, and not for what she had become. The agent also mentions that Garland had tried to take advantage of her sexually.
