Lorna Luft On 'Songs My Mother Taught Me,' Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland

Lorna Luft, the daughter of Judy Garland and half-sister of Liza Minnelli, has been performing nearly all her life. Now, her multi-media production, Songs My Mother Taught Me, is now in its 11th year at Feinstein's in New York City. The award-winning production tells the story of Garland's music through Luft's eyes. "Every single song on the show has a reason, has a meaning, a story, has a — you know, it’s not like we didn’t really really think this out. Every single story in the show tells of how I came to know these songs and how I learned them and all that," Luft told Uinterview exclusively. "It's like carrying on the family business."

Born in Santa Monica, Calif., to Garland and Sid Luft, she made her television debut at 11 years old. She made her Broadway debut with her mother at age 16 in New York City's Palace Theater. From age 19 on, she graced the stage in productions such as Promises, Promises, Snoopy and Extremities.
