Susie remembers her own family Christmases, and contrasts them with her heroine's occasionally difficult times as a child star. Plus memories of her own thwarted hopes to go to drama school. Susie Boyt's tribute to her screen idol Judy Garland is a touching account of a life-long passion. Abridged by Viv Beeby. Read by Tamsin Greig. Producer: Justine Willett First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in December 2008
