The immense talent of Judy Garland was passed down to her two daughters, who each forged their own successful paths in show business. The elder and more famous of the two is Liza Minnelli, Garland's daughter with her second husband, director Vincente Minnelli. An icon in her own right, Liza became a global superstar with her Academy Award-winning performance in the 1972 film "Cabaret." She is one of a small, elite group of performers to have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award, securing her own legendary status.
Garland's second daughter, from her marriage to producer Sid Luft, is Lorna Luft. Lorna also pursued a career as a singer and actress, performing on Broadway, in touring productions, and in films like "Grease 2." While perhaps not reaching the same level of global fame as her half-sister, she has had a long and respected career. Lorna has also worked extensively to protect and share her mother's legacy, most notably by writing the best-selling 1998 memoir "Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir," which was later adapted into an award-winning television miniseries.
