Yet it has re placed her in three films in two years because she "caused us em barrassment, delay, inconvenience and loss of morale among co-workers." One spokesman said she add ed as much as 20 percent to the cost of a film. Just what, exactly, is the trouble has been the subject of speculation and rumor. This much is fact: The first indication that she and MGM were having trouble was her removal from the cast of "Barklevs of Broadway" in 1948 because-she was "physically unable to play the role." In March 1949 Judy announced she and her second husband, Vin- cente Minelli, director of some of her best films, were separating. They are now reconciled. In May, after a month of costly shooting on "Annie Get Your Gun she was dropped for "not reporting to work," MGM sent her to Boston for a "long rest" and financed medical treatments. Two months later Judy was back, 15 pounds heaver and asking for work. Mrs. R. C. Holmquist and Mr. and !
