Screen goddess Judy Garland is happy with her new MGM contract that was filed on Superior Court in September, 1940. (For contracts, Judy was considered a minor until she turned twenty one on June 10, 1943).
The new contract called for an immediate raise from $600 to $2,000 per week (Monday through Saturday), with options over seven years to bring her up to $3,000 per week. Thus, for seven years with at least forty weeks of work each year.
MGM was willing to guarantee Judy a total salary of $680,000 for each of those seven years. (There would be another new contract in 1946).
