Please join us as Lorna Luft shares her remarkable story of growing up in the shadow of an icon and finding her own voice through loss, love, and resilience. Born to the legendary Judy Garland and producer Sid Luft, Lorna began her career on her mother’s television show at the age of eleven and went on to a distinguished career on Broadway and in productions around the world. She coproduced Life with Judy Garland, the Emmy-winning miniseries based on her memoir Me and My Shadows. Her latest book, A Star Is Born: Judy Garland and the Film that Got Away, was released to rave reviews. She also honors her mother’s enduring songbook in her one-woman show and CD, Songs My Mother Taught Me.
