Lorna Luft Celebrates Judy Garland On Demand
by Betty Jo Tucker

From May 7 through May 14 (Mother's Day) Movie Addict HQ features an ON DEMAND interview with Lorna Luft, who talks about her famous mother, Judy Garland. She also shares her beautiful mother/daughter medley with movie fans.  In this popular episode, Lorna celebrates her mother's incredible contributions to the world of entertainment, including The Wizard of Oz. Listeners can hear the show at any time during the week by clicking on the link at the end of this article.  

Lorna is an accomplished performer in her own right. She’s won acclaim on stage, film and television. Plus she’s also a best-selling author, recording artist and Emmy-nominated producer. Her book, Me and My Shadows: Living with the Legacy of Judy Garland, was optioned by ABC-TV and turned into a riveting miniseries starring Judy Davis. Lorna served as co-executive producer on that project, which won 5 Emmy Awards.

Lorna’s live theater experience includes a stint as the Wicked Witch of the West in the UK production of The Wizard of Oz.

Another of Lorna’s impressive accomplishments is a multi-media production, Songs My Mother Taught Me, a spectacular concert combining one of the world’s most familiar songbooks with her personal memories of her famous mother. A CD based on this event was released on First Night Records.

Film critics James Colt Harrison and Diana Saenger join Lorna in paying tribute to Judy Garland.  James has written a history of MGM, the studio where Judy Garland made many of her movies. Diana is the founder and editor of Classic Movie Guide.

HOST: Betty Jo Tucker
