That period marked a sea change in American history in which the United States was transformed from a sovereign nation in relative isolation in the Western hemisphere to a superpower on the world stage. As the cinema was changing dramatically during that quarter of a century, Garland was successfully adapting her performing style to new conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Pigskin Parade in 1936 to Judgment at Nuremberg in 1961, Garland drew upon her immense skill set as a triple-threat performer in acting, singing, and dancing, as appropriate to each film. This book is an appreciation of Garland's craft, which evolved through the studio system and was refined in the era of independent filmmaking with her consummate performance in A Star is Born in 1954. Many of her films have not held up well over time. But there is no debate about the timelessness of Garland's incandescent film presence and her unparalleled abilities as a triple-threat performer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*******\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Norwood earned B.A. degrees in Drama and French from the University of California at Irvine and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Dramatic Art from the University of California at Berkeley.
