Luft Brings Garland’s Songs to London???
Date: 9 March 2004
Lorna Luft, daughter of the late screen and singing legend Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli's half-sister, is looking to bring her one-woman show to the West End this year. The autobiographical piece, entitled
Songs My Mother Taught Me, was first seen in Los Angeles in 2003 and has proved a hit on the road in the US. Speaking on
Somebody’s Daughter, Somebody’s Son, a BBC1 documentary aired last month, Luft explained that, though the show was an homage to Garland, she was not trying to be her. “I’m not ever going to be her,” said Luft. “What I’m doing is just celebrating her music because it’s the legacy that she left to me, and to all of us.”
