Susan Hayward Replaced Judy Garland in ‘The Valley of the Dolls’
At the time, Judy Garland was considered one of the biggest talents in Hollywood ever since she played Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ Sadly, she also had some behavioral problems on set connected to her substance control issues. In fact, while on the set of ‘The Valley of the Dolls,’ her attitude got out of hand and she was also late for work. So, the studio was forced to replace her with Susan Hayward, who was a more reliable and compliant actress.
