Judy Garland Ambassador To Europe
Released by the Press in 1960.
Judy Garland has become an overnight ambassador of her country to Europe. Her task - to sway the 800,000 American absentee voters in Europe to support Senator Kennedy.
"Many of them are in the army and encamped in places in Germany" says Judy. "so I am flying to Frankfert next Wednesday where I hope at any rate to persuade the soldiers to vote."
Judy Garland has decided that her home will be in England in future. She has not yet bought a house of her own, but has settled temporarily in a palatial London home in Chelsea of Sir Carol Reed, who is on location in Tahiti, shooting the new version of "Mutiny On The Bounty". all her three children go to school in London.
For the first time in her troubled career, Judy is enjoying the fruits of her happy marriage and motherhood. But her interest in public affairs remains. "Senator Kennedy says and I agree with him, that the important thing is for the absentee Americans to vote one way or another and take an interest in the election."
So she is off to sing for Kennedy in Frankfurt. On U.S. election night she will be singing in front of the Queen Mother.
