The
following photos are "snapshots" or "casual" pictures
of Judy. Some of the photos were staged
by MGM's Publicity Department, or other
photographers, to look as though they were
snapshots. These were usually sent out
to the fan magazines for articles about
Judy and her films. Other photos, such
as the photos of Judy "on the town",
were snapped by magazine photographers
for inclusion in their upcoming issues.
The quality of the photos varies, as some
have been taken directly from the fan magazines
themselves. These magazines are over 50 years
old, so some loss of quality is inevitable.
I decided to include them, in spite of their
poor quality, as I feel that they give us
a kind of romantic glimpse into Judy's private
life, regardless of how staged much of it
may have been for the photographers.
On some of the photographs I've guessed at
the actual dates they were taken. If you
know the actual dates for any of the photos,
please email
me and I'll make the correction(s). |
