What I really love about the dynamic between these two is that Liza is really letting Lorna shine. You can see the love and pride that they have for each other and neither is trying to upstage the other. This is a very touching interview
5:35 made me cry. Liza saw that Lorna was crying and she couldn’t finished the sentence so she did it idk bout you but that was touching. And when they hugged and said I love you and so on.
Haha, when Lorna says "There isn't an age difference anymore," Liza totally smirks and winks at the interviewer like "That's what she thinks." Classic older sibling, always looking out for the little sister.
I think this comment would've made Judy very happy. It's clear, whatever people may want to say about Ms. Garland, she loved her kids and they loved her.
Amen.. I really hope and pray that Judy Garland is in heaven looking down at her beautiful children. She was the most famous star of her time and natural Performer. But like you said her best work were her children. God bless Judy Garland and her children!!!
I met Lorna in LA in 2003 at a restaurant...she was SO nice and real..she gave me ticket's to see TWO of her shows ..for free...The show was Fantastic and that girl can Sang !! Yeah, Sang ...what a show....But in the end, NOBODY< NOBODY can touch Judy's talent ...World's Greatest Entertainer EVER !!! xoxo
Lizas mannerisms and humour is exactly like Judys! And Lornas voice is more similar to Judys. They both seem such amazing women!✨so talented and driven, intelligent! Judy would be so proud😭💞
It’s so sad Judy Garland was so young when she passed away. She was a amazing actress! She is over the rainbow 🌈 now. She is in heaven and she is in peace.
Okay, I cried. Really good to see these two sisters together. Sounds as though they all have worked hard to overcome the hardships. It must have been hard for Liza to feel like she needed to be the adult, then Lorna the adult for her brother.
I really like what Lorna said about how "you can't blame ignorance". I never thought of Judys situation with MGM, Drugs, and the lack of knowledge of addiction with ignorance, but now I have a better understanding. I really like Lorna's elaboration on that. She and Liza are very intelligent
klassicalmuzik they pumped her to keep her awake, they wanted her to sleep and oh get her to lose weight...Judy couldn’t win. A blessing for children but a loss for such a great talent who was blameless.
Like I said above, they didn't care one way or the other though, just wanted the goose that laid the golden egg to keep raking in the dough. Kinda how our republican Congress feels about us little people.
Lorna is a force. I saw her in Guys and Dolls and when she came out for her bow the house came down. Judy was the entertainer of the century and a beauty. Seeing Liza at Carnegie hall was like seeing a meteor, a pillar of power. I love these women.
Stephanie Stanley What s beautiful tribute I love them as I loved their mother Seeing her as a child on Tv and being enthralled by every performance ! Got to see Liza in 86 unforgettable Ice only seen Lorna on interviews and am so happy about the people they have become
I saw Lorna Luft at the Kate in Connecticut and she was dynamite. 90 min of pure energetic entertainment . She sang songs from the greatest songwriters ever!!! Pure enjoyment. Her piano player was smoking...
Never knew he was a photographer...I wandered if he sang too.(He probably can sing too...)if he was in the business in that way..All of Judy's kids are Talented..
Amanda Allen yes it's joe in the 60s interview. We have never really seen him since or heard from him. What is Joe's surname? Is it Luft (like Lorna?). Judy only had Liza with Vincente didn't she?
These two are so adorable together, loving Judy's tribute to Lorna too. I do feel in some ways, that when Judy passed on, her spotlight was shone straight onto Liza and Lorna was left in the dark, jumping up and down with her hands in the air, wanting so badly what her sister had and she never quite got there. But MAN, you can really really tell that Liza is Judy's daughter, in so many ways, its so striking!
Beautiful!! First time watching this, didn't realize Liza had a younger sister. Two beautiful gems! Judy would be so proud! Liza looks and sounds like her Mother, Lorna has an amazing voice! Rest In Peace!
Lorna is such a kind, caring, compassionate woman. Thank goodness she took care of her mother as best as she could. She, Liza, and Judy were all such special women... each unique and very gifted in their own special way. I am grateful that this (and the other) videos were made about them.
I think Judy Garland's most outstanding work was raising such incredible children who've grown into a caliber of person that is remarkable. Liza, Lorna, and Joe, are keeping their mom alive in various ways. And these two... just classy and talented. Love listening to the trifecta... Judy, Liza, and Lorna!! ❤️ I think what touches me most is that they understand, appreciate, and believe that Judy, despite all her demons, did the best she could and there is such a great pride in that, especially knowing what their mom went through for years. Their unconditional love for their mom was probably, besides her dad, was her first real experience of being loved for who she was, unconditionally and regardless of all else. Judy Garland... what a concept! May she rest in peace.
My first impression of Lorna was bland, medicore child using her mom's fame for public face --- but i completely change my mind upon watching this interview. She was a daughter and little sister smack dab in the middle of everything from show biz to family chaos. And somehow managed to become a down to earth, sensible adult with a great sense of humor. I can say I'm now a fan of Lorna Luft. Love the sister's chemistry in this interview. She may not look identical to Judy but she has a special place in the world and her mother's story no doubt.
I'm getting there too. My only exposure to Lorna up til now was reading a catty review when i was younger, which dubbed 'songs my mother taught me' 'songs my mother sang better', and I unfairly based my opinion on that. It's good to see her as herself here. Judy and Liza's warmth, openness and vulnerability are a good part of what makes them so magnetic and endearing to people. Lorna doesn't give me those vibes at all, but then, why should she? she isn't them - she's Lorna. It's not her job to be like her mother, or her sister; and it's wrong of people to expect/demand her to be. It's her job to be the best version of herself she can be.
I never had a sister - and wanted to have one so much. I have two older brothers with a large gap between us. THEY are close like this. I cry with these sisters... and the sister I wished I always had.
Mc Kenna One day you will have a daughter Don't cry precious one I see what you saw in the video The love those 2 sisters have Liza and Lorna I just love what u said in the comment
Mc Kenna: You can have my sister! She’s pure evil & has even committed murder. I don’t know how she does it but she gets away with all her crimes. She should be locked up so no one else suffers because of her.
Wow, beautiful sisters. I have so much more respect for Lorna and Liza. And heartbreak for Judy. She deserved a very long and happy life with her children.
I had the privilege of meeting Lorna Luft backstage after her concert at the Bradford Alhambra. What a lovely, and kind lady. I'm glad she made peace with her legacy.
Owing to Judy mother's driving force and MGM having audtioned Judy positively, aged 7 she got the opportunity to be sb in the grand show biz... and her talents and AMBITION and love for working with people all around the clock were the name of the game. Her gorgeous daugthers didn't have a chance to perform vaudeville numbers like Judy did aged 2 to 7 along with her sisters- The Gumm Sisters of course. ... Judy was born to be the largest diva-kind of singer and performer in history. Wit, charm, talents, stamina and love make miracles for her. Yet at times something's got to give. She realy loved men... unfortunatelly for her Judy didnt make a better research per se beforhand. She wholeheartedly grabbed the guys and placed them close to her enormous heart and soul for good...
I think Rene Zellweger did an amazing job on portraying Judy Garland in the movie Judy. I think she looked back on stories of Judy's life and her children. Rene, my heart's out to you ! I am so impressed by you. Always a fan of yours
This is the first time I am seeing this piece- perhaps because I'm Stateside - but I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so many things I had never known about Ms. Garland in addition to the beautiful bond Liza and Lorna share. Bravo!
Such real and wonderful women they all are...Judy was so taken advantage of by the short sided businessmen without a heart. We love you Lorna, and Liza...stay strong! God bless your Mama!
Judy garland brought up 3 beautiful children I am 74 years old always love Judy singing i got a few cd.love to put them on and listen to her voice at times i cry I don't care she had some problems She was a good singer and actress It's mgm.fault She never need it those pills She was always very petite She had a beautiful figure Liza and Lorna also beautiful girls You could see the love they had I don't remember the brother name He was gorgeous to I love seeing there old show when young So Judy garland was a star And a beautiful mom U could the love she had for her kids When she sang u could almost feel a sadness in her voice That why i cry wben i hear her sing The 2 sisters are just amazing Love you guys
I fell in love with Judy Garland movies later in my life but I never read or watched media about her . I knew Liza Minelli was her daughter but never heard of her other beautiful daughter Lorna . I'm so glad I clicked it on this article It makes me smile seeing the two talking and laughing together. Judy Garland brought joy to the world and also two wonderful beautiful daughters. I'm sure they are proud to call Judy Garland mother. I mean can you imagine !
Lorna, I’m sure your Mom is so proud of you. You truly have a talent. My Mom loved your Mom and I too have that same love. Your Mom took my breath away every time I heard her and still does. WOW many blessings to you and much luck.
Judy was a legend in her own right, but I still believe her biggest accomplishment was motherhood. She may not have always gotten it right but then what parent does? Her daughters both truned out to be wonderful, caring, funny, smart and most of all LOYAL women. Judy should be proud that she had something to do with that.
When I was a child, Judy was and icon to me. Her death was tragic, but her two daughters have very similar voices and they carry on the music. What a wonderful legacy. I know they have known incrediblel pain, but at least they have each other and their brother. Having lost my entire birth family 15 years ago, I can only watch with a little jealousy at them because they have each other. How wonderful for them.
I share the same experience as they do. My father was addicted to drugs before and after i was born. My mom's side of the family were alcoholics some not all of them. I too battled drugs and alcohol. It can be scary and sad moments.
Say what you want, Judy did try to instill common sense and self-worth in her children. And I have no doubt that Vincente and Sid provided the rest for the children to grow up relatively normal.
Lorna sitting with Liza in this interview seems very similar to Judy sitting with her in that Barbra Walters interview, very similar body language and pride from Liza and Judy
i went to go see lorna's show back in 2004...i think...and it was amazing! i seriously teared up when i heard her voice! she sounded just like judy! it was a magical experance that i won't ever forget! and my sweet husband surpised with the tickets and everything! :)
Neither of Judy's daughters had the smooth strong vebrato like Judy. Lorna all but yells her songs and Judy was smart enough to control her technique and start a song and built it up to the climax where she would let go and knock the socks off her audience. Judy was the original and didnt have to compete with any person in her family and she had the most beautiful voice the world had ever known.
I was so disappointed that I missed out on seeing Lorna when she came to Australia last year, I would have given anything to go. I love this family and I am one of Judy Garland's biggest fans. I just bought my ticket to see Liza when she comes here in October, can't wait :)
It is very amazing that Lorna doesn't hold grudges against MGM. However, MGM and Garland's own mother put such pressure and insecurity on Garland that I don't think the studio would have stopped the drugs even if they knew the consequences.
i love that sly little wink liza gives the interviewer when Lorna says 'now there's no real age difference'. As if to say 'I'll let you think that sis, but I'm still the oldest. I'm still top dog'
I only knew she sang when I saw her in Grease 2...in the scene in the classroom and she just about blew the rest of the cast away...it's great to see this. I was priviledged to have seen Liza and I would love to have seen Lorna. I hope she takes the great Barry Manilow's advice and pursue her singing AND comedic talents.
I admire Lorna,relate to her more,I think it's her sense of humour....that draws me in. My dad gave me a fab sense of humour before he passed....I always had the gift but didn't realize it.....My father also sang to me Frank Sinatra mostly) I very much admire Stevie Nicks I love to sing myself ( never in public,too shy) Judy too,but I could never belt out a song like Judy...still hearing Over The Rainbow........ I CRY MY EYES OUT, IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE DEATH OF JUDY. I feel for the family,LORNA , GREW UP TOO FAST...,,.,.,., MY HEART ACHES FOR YOU TO THIS DAY a& LIZA.
I got to see Liza at Universal Studios while we were watching the Lucille Ball Show being filmed when Lucy had a broken leg. I’m thinking Lucy was going to sing Caberet. But Liza was 2 seats in front of me and 2 seats over and she got up and sang Caberet instead. That was quite an experience for a little 10 year old. My dad is a professional bowler and we traveled a lot and got to go many places and see many things. We had taken a train from Michigan to California and had relatives that painted on canvas and porcelain and made clothing there in California that we also got to visit. They were the Chapetons. I thought it was horrible to have to be dragged everywhere and stay in motels and hotels but now I see how spoiled we were to get to see so many things, but I didn’t know this till I grew up that others didn’t get to see or do the things we did, I thought everyone had to LOL, a child’s perspective is pretty small. But it was special and a pleasure to get to hear Liza sing and I knew that that part was cool even as a small child. Also at universal studios we got to see this one house that burnt down but really didn’t and the town that got flooded but really didn’t. They could make it look so real. And it’s a small world boat ride and sea world were a few of my favorites in California. Oh and I think it was called Big Bear mountain that I liked also. The ocean was prettier to me in Florida than California though. I loved to sing and watching anyone sing just thrilled me. Thank you Liza for a very nice memory.
“I had to step over them in the hallway” Horrific... props to them for surviving and for any other children out there under parents who have the disease of addiction.
Ben Schaeffer I think one of the problems with Lorna is her honesty and transparency. Showbusiness depends on persona or mask to make it work and to activate or alchemize the magic. Lorna wears her heart on her sleeve. Judy and Liza both possess this ability to project persona (a mask) - which is a form of artifice or artfulness. And that's what makes them great performers. With Lorna there seems to be less "mystery" or less complexity; and I think that's what perhaps may have hampered her career and kept her from becoming iconic like her mother or older half-sister. Iconic fame is such a strange beast because here you have 3 women and a younger brother/son Joey. And yet only 2 of them became iconic. Why? They're all from the same family. The answer lay in the mystery of persona: A preternatural ability to project suffering (even when happy) of some kind and the drama (or comedy) of the human condition. Like Judy, Liza knew how to own the stage and make the grand gesture; their performativity was masterful. Posture, gesture, pose, carriage, phrasing, rhythm, pace, kisnestetics, style and grace: all these "soft" skills or sensorial skills are really important and very understudied. People these days all think having a great "voice" is enough. Reality Television franchises like 'X Factor' or 'The Voice' are sardine cans of really great "singers". But who cares?!!!!!Singing well simply isn't enough. Judy's and Liza's voices in fact aren't really that "great" ... when you listen closely. They're often hoarse or too breathy and even sometimes off-key. But WE 'children of Dorothy' don't care! There are a multitude of far greater technical singers out there. (The same could be said of Maria Callas: there were far greater technical opera "singers" but no one could act AND sing AND interpret a story like La Callas!)- same for Judy. Same for Liza! No one can SELL a song like Judy or Liza. Lorna sings well but she doesn't sell it like Mamma did and certainly doesn't "interpret" or "act" through the song the way Liza and 'Mamma' could. Unlike Lorna, they were actresses who sang. Those women act out a song by belting it! That's what selling is: pitching/presenting/spruiking and closing the deal with a big strapping belt! Judy and Liza (along with Frank, Dean and Bing) are the greatest saleswomen and spruikers of the American songbook of the 20th century. Singing is quite something else. That isn't to take away their talent or not pay them their due, but I think the differences should be noted because most people appreciate them but have no connoisseurship about what it is that they're appreciating. 'Ma & Pa Kettle' and even your average queen from San Fran or NYC thinks it's all faaaabulous dahhhling. But no.... Sales is the true Gumm-Garland-Minelli legacy. Not their singing.
Judy got the wizard of Oz, Liza got cabaret. Lorna never got that iconic roll like her mother and her sister unfortunately. If she had this wouldn’t be a debate. Can you name any other roll that was as iconic for Liza besides Cabaret? Not really. Yes her special Liza with a Z. But that’s about it. Judy however had wizard, St. Louie, a star is born, the list goes on. Unfortunately Lorna got Grease 2, 😂 I love her in that movie but it’s not what you would call Oscar worthy. All that aside. 2 very talented daughters of the most talented woman to ever grace the stage and screen.
What I really love about the dynamic between these two is that Liza is really letting Lorna shine. You can see the love and pride that they have for each other and neither is trying to upstage the other. This is a very touching interview
Liza has the most amazing soulful eyes. How could she not? Both her parents had beautiful sad cow eyes.
5:35 made me cry. Liza saw that Lorna was crying and she couldn’t finished the sentence so she did it idk bout you but that was touching. And when they hugged and said I love you and so on.
I love having a sister. No one else understands you more, if you're lucky and have a good one.
She sounded so much like Judy
Painting Animals On Rocks Yes indeed, and I lost mine february 2019 and it is nearly killing me too. I am in tears watching this.
Haha, when Lorna says "There isn't an age difference anymore," Liza totally smirks and winks at the interviewer like "That's what she thinks." Classic older sibling, always looking out for the little sister.
Liza is so gracious towards Lorna; she seems to have her mother's spirit and heart. She's blessed to look so much like Judy Garland.
Beautiful...Take a Bow Judy Garland, This is your best work
I love this
I think this comment would've made Judy very happy. It's clear, whatever people may want to say about Ms. Garland, she loved her kids and they loved her.
Amen.. I really hope and pray that Judy Garland is in heaven looking down at her beautiful children. She was the most famous star of her time and natural Performer. But like you said her best work were her children. God bless Judy Garland and her children!!!
What a lovely comment!🙌🙌🙌
I met Lorna in LA in 2003 at a restaurant...she was SO nice and real..she gave me ticket's to see TWO of her shows ..for free...The show was Fantastic and that girl can Sang !! Yeah, Sang ...what a show....But in the end, NOBODY< NOBODY can touch Judy's talent ...World's Greatest Entertainer EVER !!! xoxo

Stephanie Stanley What s beautiful tribute I love them as I loved their mother Seeing her as a child on Tv and being enthralled by every performance ! Got to see Liza in 86 unforgettable Ice only seen Lorna on interviews and am so happy about the people they have become
I saw Lorna at the Canon Theater in Beverly Hills. Amazing! Afterward, I ran into Debbie Reynolds who was in the audience. This was 2003.
I saw Lorna Luft at the Kate in Connecticut and she was dynamite. 90 min of pure energetic entertainment . She sang songs from the greatest songwriters ever!!!
Pure enjoyment. Her piano player was smoking...
Judy Garland was GORGEOUS!
Joe lives a quiet life. He is a photographer. He is well and creates lovely work.
Elizabeth Kelly He's brain damaged from when Judy did drugs when pregnant with him
He really has brain damage?
Never knew he was a photographer...I wandered if he sang too.(He probably can sing too...)if he was in the business in that way..All of Judy's kids are Talented..
Is that Joe next to Lorna in the documentary?
Amanda Allen yes it's joe in the 60s interview. We have never really seen him
since or heard from him. What is Joe's surname? Is it Luft (like Lorna?). Judy only had Liza with Vincente didn't she?
I miss old Hollywood. What great actresses and Actors!! Old Hollywood is missed so much!
If Judy could see her girls talking and bantering and supporting each other like this, she'd be the proudest mama in the world.
I loved Judy..so talented and real. Lorna and Liza are like their mother...all the honesty and realness. Good luck, girls!
These two are so adorable together, loving Judy's tribute to Lorna too. I do feel in some ways, that when Judy passed on, her spotlight was shone straight onto Liza and Lorna was left in the dark, jumping up and down with her hands in the air, wanting so badly what her sister had and she never quite got there. But MAN, you can really really tell that Liza is Judy's daughter, in so many ways, its so striking!
I have goosebumps in 2019. I would do anything to see this live.
Beautiful!! First time watching this, didn't realize Liza had a younger sister. Two beautiful gems! Judy would be so proud!
Liza looks and sounds like her Mother, Lorna has an amazing voice!
Rest In Peace!
Liza and Lorna also have a younger brother Joey Luft
Lorna is such a kind, caring, compassionate woman. Thank goodness she took care of her mother as best as she could. She, Liza, and Judy were all such special women... each unique and very gifted in their own special way. I am grateful that this (and the other) videos were made about them.
I think Judy Garland's most outstanding work was raising such incredible children who've grown into a caliber of person that is remarkable. Liza, Lorna, and Joe, are keeping their mom alive in various ways. And these two... just classy and talented. Love listening to the trifecta... Judy, Liza, and Lorna!! ❤️
I think what touches me most is that they understand, appreciate, and believe that Judy, despite all her demons, did the best she could and there is such a great pride in that, especially knowing what their mom went through for years. Their unconditional love for their mom was probably, besides her dad, was her first real experience of being loved for who she was, unconditionally and regardless of all else.
Judy Garland... what a concept! May she rest in peace.
It is so wonderful to see this love between Lorna and Liza.
"Lorna" with lyrics by Johnny Mercer - wow!
LIZA Loves Lorna.
If she does give her a couple of million dollar,but love of money wins every time........

Lorna is so honest and open. Liza is so protective of her mother and sister. She knows she needs to.
I never had a sister - and wanted to have one so much. I have two older brothers with a large gap between us. THEY are close like this.
I cry with these sisters... and the sister I wished I always had.
Mc Kenna
One day you will have a daughter
Don't cry precious one
I see what you saw in the video
The love those 2 sisters have
Liza and Lorna
I just love what u said in the comment
I have 2 older ones and they don't care one bit of crap about me, so it's not always so great.
Mc Kenna: You can have my sister! She’s pure evil & has even committed murder. I don’t know how
she does it but she gets away with all her crimes. She should be locked up so no one else suffers because of her.
Liane Layman yup....I know how feel... but they’re are not even worth our feelings☺️
Same! And now that I’m older and I’ve had my kids I have 3boys lol I guess it wasn’t meant
Liza looks so Good, I do see a lot of her mother in her.
by golly THEY BOTH INHERERITED their mother's voice. WOW
Wow, beautiful sisters. I have so much more respect for Lorna and Liza. And heartbreak for Judy. She deserved a very long and happy life with her children.

Such real and wonderful women they all are...Judy was so taken advantage of by the short sided businessmen without a heart. We love you Lorna, and Liza...stay strong! God bless your Mama!
Brilliant! Her mama would be so proud
Judy would be very proud of her two daugters and her son.
Great Lorna! Love you both you and sister! Judy Garland my all time fav
Liza and Judy had two different voices and Lorna's voice is just likw her mother's
I love them! They are so cute together!
She was a good mother. I salute her!
That was so beautiful with her singing behind her mother oh my God I loved it it touched my heart💗
I think Lorna should do comedy she's very funny, But as for singing, dancing and acting I think Liza is the more talented sister.
How can you NOT LOVE Judy and her children?!!!
LOrna is so beautiful and such a great singer my Lord...I wish I saw her show......
Thank-you for posting this! I read Lorna's book years ago & hoped that they'd reconcile. This is truly a find.

thank you for this interview.
Judy was a legend in her own right, but I still believe her biggest accomplishment was motherhood. She may not have always gotten it right but then what parent does?
Her daughters both truned out to be wonderful, caring, funny, smart and most of all LOYAL women.
Judy should be proud that she had something to do with that.
Love this interview, made it so personal for all sisters.
I absolutely love Liza and Lorna!!!
Wow... I can't imagine anyone not knowing who she is!
Liza looks so much like Judy
All her tics and mannerisms and even her voice too.
The brother looks liza what a about him is it chrispher.
I was going to say the same thing.
When I was a child, Judy was and icon to me. Her death was tragic, but her two daughters have very similar voices and they carry on the music. What a wonderful legacy. I know they have known incrediblel pain, but at least they have each other and their brother. Having lost my entire birth family 15 years ago, I can only watch with a little jealousy at them because they have each other. How wonderful for them.
omg! this is awsom! i love hearing their stories! they are priceless!!!!! :)
It's so nice you have uploaded this..very interesting and illuminating.
I share the same experience as they do. My father was addicted to drugs before and after i was born. My mom's side of the family were alcoholics some not all of them. I too battled drugs and alcohol. It can be scary and sad moments.
My mother was an alcoholic. She stopped 20 years before she died.
She made sure her children were nothing like her what an amazing mother she was!
Say what you want, Judy did try to instill common sense and self-worth in her children. And I have no doubt that Vincente and Sid provided the rest for the children to grow up relatively normal.
Beautiful, lovely to see this again!! ⚘🎵🌹💕❤🎶🌷💜🦋
Lorna sitting with Liza in this interview seems very similar to Judy sitting with her in that Barbra Walters interview, very similar body language and pride from Liza and Judy
Liza is iconic. Just seeing her is amazing!
Gotta love my two cousins, Liza and Lorna!
i am such a huge fan
are you really related?
leadiesister13 Who are you?
Love them all! Want to see the show~!
I cried, like a big ass baby
Thank God we have daughters that dont denigrate & trash Judy's memory. Such a genius was Judy. Lorna & Liza carrying on that talent
They’re Half-Sisters! ❤️
Lorna's got her Mum's voice 😢 stunning!
Lol no...Liza did
Awwww that was soooo sweet Judy singing to Lorna!
i went to go see lorna's show back in 2004...i think...and it was amazing! i seriously teared up when i heard her voice! she sounded just like judy! it was a magical experance that i won't ever forget! and my sweet husband surpised with the tickets and everything! :)
Neither of Judy's daughters had the smooth strong vebrato like Judy. Lorna all but yells her songs and Judy was smart enough to control her technique and start a song and built it up to the climax where she would let go and knock the socks off her audience. Judy was the original and didnt have to compete with any person in her family and she had the most beautiful voice the world had ever known.
Liza Minelli is so much like her mother Judy Garland. Its uncanny.
Diane Phillips She’s not really. She is the spitting image of her dad.
Correction...Father & Son literally but mind control slaves think its Mother and Daughter!!
Lorna can really sing!!!!! WOW
I love this. That man Liza married was a weirdo. I was afraid he was going to harm her
I was so disappointed that I missed out on seeing Lorna when she came to Australia last year, I would have given anything to go. I love this family and I am one of Judy Garland's biggest fans. I just bought my ticket to see Liza when she comes here in October, can't wait :)
It is very amazing that Lorna doesn't hold grudges against MGM. However, MGM and Garland's own mother put such pressure and insecurity on Garland that I don't think the studio would have stopped the drugs even if they knew the consequences.
both woman are amazing
wish i could hugg this family.. ive been through this all. i so understand all of this..................
i love that sly little wink liza gives the interviewer when Lorna says 'now there's no real age difference'. As if to say 'I'll let you think that sis, but I'm still the oldest. I'm still top dog'
Judy would be so proud of her children
Just beautiful the parts between the sisters.❤
Their mom was stunning 🤩
liza is amazing like her mother it is sad the studios gave judy pills i wish she was alive now she was greatest female performer ever and i miss her.
Just a beautiful...😍🤩
I only knew she sang when I saw her in Grease 2...in the scene in the classroom and she just about blew the rest of the cast away...it's great to see this. I was priviledged to have seen Liza and I would love to have seen Lorna. I hope she takes the great Barry Manilow's advice and pursue her singing AND comedic talents.
These two SO wanted a reality show
Wow Lorna sounds a lot like her mother💜 what a gift
I admire Lorna,relate to her more,I think it's her sense of humour....that draws me in. My dad gave me a fab sense of humour before he passed....I always had the gift but didn't realize it.....My father also sang to me Frank Sinatra mostly) I very much admire Stevie Nicks I love to sing myself ( never in public,too shy)
Judy too,but I could never belt out a song like Judy...still hearing Over The Rainbow........ I CRY MY EYES OUT,
IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE DEATH OF JUDY.
I feel for the family,LORNA , GREW UP TOO FAST...,,.,.,., MY HEART ACHES FOR YOU TO THIS DAY a& LIZA.
I love everything about this family!!
I got to see Liza at Universal Studios while we were watching the Lucille Ball Show being filmed when Lucy had a broken leg. I’m thinking Lucy was going to sing Caberet. But Liza was 2 seats in front of me and 2 seats over and she got up and sang Caberet instead. That was quite an experience for a little 10 year old. My dad is a professional bowler and we traveled a lot and got to go many places and see many things. We had taken a train from Michigan to California and had relatives that painted on canvas and porcelain and made clothing there in California that we also got to visit. They were the Chapetons. I thought it was horrible to have to be dragged everywhere and stay in motels and hotels but now I see how spoiled we were to get to see so many things, but I didn’t know this till I grew up that others didn’t get to see or do the things we did, I thought everyone had to LOL, a child’s perspective is pretty small. But it was special and a pleasure to get to hear Liza sing and I knew that that part was cool even as a small child. Also at universal studios we got to see this one house that burnt down but really didn’t and the town that got flooded but really didn’t. They could make it look so real. And it’s a small world boat ride and sea world were a few of my favorites in California. Oh and I think it was called Big Bear mountain that I liked also. The ocean was prettier to me in Florida than California though. I loved to sing and watching anyone sing just thrilled me. Thank you Liza for a very nice memory.
A Foggy Day in London Town is a nightmare to sing, take it from me.. anything by the Gershwins is HARD
i think liza looks just like judy and even sounds just like her
She LOOKS just like her father...
Yes, she definitely looks like her father.
“I had to step over them in the hallway”
Horrific... props to them for surviving and for any other children out there under parents who have the disease of addiction.
Pretty bluntly put but essentially correct
Wow ....i love Liza from Cabaret...singing and didn't know about lorna shes just as beautiful ang gifted.
Liza sounds just like her mama
I take it back. Lorna can sing. However, I still think Liza has the bigger voice and more talent.
Yeap! I agree. Judy and Liza have 'star' quality written all over them.
The TALENT is equal !
@@napoleongracemarshall7651 Not so!
Ben Schaeffer I think one of the problems with Lorna is her honesty and transparency. Showbusiness depends on persona or mask to make it work and to activate or alchemize the magic. Lorna wears her heart on her sleeve. Judy and Liza both possess this ability to project persona (a mask) - which is a form of artifice or artfulness. And that's what makes them great performers. With Lorna there seems to be less "mystery" or less complexity; and I think that's what perhaps may have hampered her career and kept her from becoming iconic like her mother or older half-sister. Iconic fame is such a strange beast because here you have 3 women and a younger brother/son Joey. And yet only 2 of them became iconic. Why? They're all from the same family. The answer lay in the mystery of persona: A preternatural ability to project suffering (even when happy) of some kind and the drama (or comedy) of the human condition. Like Judy, Liza knew how to own the stage and make the grand gesture; their performativity was masterful. Posture, gesture, pose, carriage, phrasing, rhythm, pace, kisnestetics, style and grace: all these "soft" skills or sensorial skills are really important and very understudied. People these days all think having a great "voice" is enough. Reality Television franchises like 'X Factor' or 'The Voice' are sardine cans of really great "singers". But who cares?!!!!!Singing well simply isn't enough. Judy's and Liza's voices in fact aren't really that "great" ... when you listen closely. They're often hoarse or too breathy and even sometimes off-key. But WE 'children of Dorothy' don't care! There are a multitude of far greater technical singers out there. (The same could be said of Maria Callas: there were far greater technical opera "singers" but no one could act AND sing AND interpret a story like La Callas!)- same for Judy. Same for Liza! No one can SELL a song like Judy or Liza. Lorna sings well but she doesn't sell it like Mamma did and certainly doesn't "interpret" or "act" through the song the way Liza and 'Mamma' could. Unlike Lorna, they were actresses who sang. Those women act out a song by belting it! That's what selling is: pitching/presenting/spruiking and closing the deal with a big strapping belt! Judy and Liza (along with Frank, Dean and Bing) are the greatest saleswomen and spruikers of the American songbook of the 20th century. Singing is quite something else. That isn't to take away their talent or not pay them their due, but I think the differences should be noted because most people appreciate them but have no connoisseurship about what it is that they're appreciating. 'Ma & Pa Kettle' and even your average queen from San Fran or NYC thinks it's all faaaabulous dahhhling. But no.... Sales is the true Gumm-Garland-Minelli legacy. Not their singing.
Judy got the wizard of Oz, Liza got cabaret. Lorna never got that iconic roll like her mother and her sister unfortunately. If she had this wouldn’t be a debate. Can you name any other roll that was as iconic for Liza besides Cabaret? Not really. Yes her special Liza with a Z. But that’s about it. Judy however had wizard, St. Louie, a star is born, the list goes on. Unfortunately Lorna got Grease 2, 😂 I love her in that movie but it’s not what you would call Oscar worthy. All that aside. 2 very talented daughters of the most talented woman to ever grace the stage and screen.
