Living With The Legend of Judy Garland.
This is the extraordinary autobiography of Lorna Luft, a remarkable woman and singularly talented performer. Often high amusing, sometimes harrowing - and unsparingly candid - it is an account of surviving a world of dizzying contradictions, the inside story of one of the world's most famous showbusiness families.
If you're born as the daughter of Judy Garland and sister of Liza Minelli, your life probably isn't going to be straightforward. You grow up in the hothouse of Hollywood screen royalty. Almost every detail of your childhood becomes the stuff of legend. You are the first-hand witness to events others have only speculated about. And to survive, you have to come to terms with your mother's, your own and your family's patterns of addiction.
By learning to embrace her past, Lorna Luft has managed to emerge out of the shadows. It's a story told on a grand scale - yet it's one most of us can understand.
