Lorna is an "OK" entertainer but she just doesn't have that magnetic voice or personality the way Judy Garland had and still has. The 2nd part of this documentary Lorna again gets her facts wrong by saying That Judy sung "Lorna" during her 1962 TV special but it was actually in early 1964 when Judy put the words to the theme to her TV show to get the song "Lorna". Her movie about Judy in 2001 wasn't veyr accurate. Sid Luft even said most of it were lies. Which I believe is true.
@NFitalianGuy I'd heard that Liza and Lorna stopped speaking over a fallout they had regarding the Judy Garland--Me and My Shadows minseries. I don't know if that's true.
@lcowles When I met Lorna, Sid & Joe in 1997 at the Judy fest in GR,MN.,she was writing her book at the time.I asked how Liza was & she wasn't too warm about that subject .Liza like Sid, weren't too keen on what Lorna wrote. Sid Luft himself said his daughter's book was filled with lies & she was only 15 at the time & she didnt know much of what went on in judy'slife. Liza was around more than Lorna but in the movie Liza was hardly shown. Sid corrected Lorna in public when lorna made up a story.
6:40 She wasn't really a tragic figure-more accurately, she was just a plain sad one. It probably isn't far off the mark that if Betty Ford opened about fifteen years earlier than it did , she'd be alive today.
Its nice to hear Liza and Lorna are doing good these days. Its amazing how they have overcome there mothers addiction and death. They are both very strong women. Judy Garland was an amazing person and I wish I was could turn back time and get to see her live on stage that would be awsome.
I think that when Liza was in new york new york she looks just like her mum when her mum was in her early 20's when liza is singing "and the world goes round", but you can definately see vincent minnelli in Liza aswell :) xx
Judy and Michael were tragic. Anyone who is so lost and confused that they don't know which end is up, and anyone who is SO talented, beautiful, loved and has 3 beautiful children to live for but still cannot get off of drugs is tragic. Talented, beautiful, but tragic.
People saying that her life was tragic reminds me so much of what they say of Michael Jackson. We all really do not know these public figures. Only their chldren and family and friends know their true selves. Judy wasn't tragic. And Michael wasn't tragic.
I adore Lorna's brazen attitude, at least she admits what she done and hell she admits she loved it...You hardly find that in "famous" children...I love Lorna, she's truly unique, and I also think that Liza admits it.. just not so forwardly...You HAVE to respect these lovely ladies for being themselves =)
i think they are saying her life was not tragic, although short. a person can go through bad things in life but doesn't mean they are just sad tragic feeling people.
@uncoverbrother You just answered your question....it was an accident!!!!....it was a freak accident!!!....by 1969 she was in a happy place in her life, she had no reason to become a TRAGIC FIGURE Or a TRAGEDY as so many people suggest!!!
judy seemed funny and warm yes, but to say that she lacked an aura of tragedy or at least sadness is a bit of generational denial to me. she clearly experienced turmoil regardless of whether the emotions triggered the drugs or the other way around.
Judy Garland and Jack Cassidy both had such talent and truely loved what they did. I hope they are never ever forgotten. They both live in my life and heart.
@scootertp3 Hi scootertp. Sorry for the delay but I'm practically not even going on you tube anyjmore cuz of my job lol. My addiction is to klonopin. I have good news though. I've gone from 4 milligrams a day to 2 milligrams a day.
Very interesting - 1 thing i noticed was the funeral footage - some of it was from Marilyn Monroes funeral in 1962 where the people were walking into that chapel and standing outside the cemetary. wonder why this was included in Judys footage?.
the song that was played and sang at Judy's funeral was Battle Hymn of the Republic. Judy sang it for President Kennedy on her TV show when he was killed and she left instructions for Liza for it to be played and sang at the end of her funeral.

I'd love to know who's fighting to get in the room with Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft - I guess they must be much more famous in America than they are in Britain
1:42-1:57 ok, THAT made me cry.
