A broken family who wasn't so broken after all. Judy may have had her problems, but she loved her kids and tried never to abuse them. What a lady she was.
Judy had much more positive than negative
@@neuropsychologistThe Wizard of Oz was through MGM not Disney.
@@AChampagneGlass Maybe Blue Moon is thinking of MGM Studios' association with Disney when they first opened their theme park at Disney World? I was there while they were still building it and it still had the "old Hollywood" theme; I was disappointed when it changed (but I'll probably never get back there again anyway). The best attraction at the time that's still there was the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. They had a lot of original memorabilia on display there. In fact, watching "The Wizard of Oz" last night, it brought back a memory of how thrilled I to see one of the three pairs of the original Ruby Slippers on display there!
.
The Wizard of Oz has always been one of my favorite movies--possibly my favorite movie of all time; I've watched it again and again (in addition to the first twenty-odd times I saw it growing up before cable TV when it used to be aired once a year in March and was a big family event) and STILL never get tired of it. Although watching it this time, even though my mother (who grew up during that "Golden Age" of classic Hollywood, wrote fan letters, and had what would surely be a valuable autograph collection today from all her favorite stars of the day ... if only my grandmother hadn't thrown it out one day while on a cleaning spree, along with my uncle's classic comic-book collection that included the first issue of the original Superman ... which is how valuable collectors' items--and hoarders--are created!) had already told me the sad story of Judy Garland's life and early death a long time ago, having just seen the movie "Judy" about a month ago and just how tragic her life was starting as far back as the making of the film (posing for a picture of her birthday cake on the set that she wasn't allowed to eat, for example, and my being able to relate to her insomnia and exhaustion, and much more I've seen in documentaries about her since then) did kind of take some of the joy out of seeing her as sweet, innocent Dorothy. :'( Yet I can't imagine anyone but Judy Garland in the role (OR Buddy Ebsen as the sensitive Tin Man, who was always my favorite character from when I was a kid; Jack Haley had the gentlest, most comforting voice and must've been a good guy/father to have Liza Minelli still think fondly of his son/her ex-husband). There's nothing from the resulting film that could ever be improved on for me. (OK, well, the owls and vultures in the haunted forest weren't the most realistic. Also, they cut out the scene where I think they were supposed to be attacked by bees, which I don't think was really necessary except that the Wicked Witch references her plan while giving instructions to Nikko as the flying monkeys are taking off.) So it's heartbreaking to know the toll that bringing such joy to so many people on screen took on Judy Garland's real life.
.
Anyway, here's the story of Disney parks' relationship with MGM Studios: www.history.com/this-day-in-history/disney-mgm-studios-becomes-disneys-hollywood-studios
It's weird when Liza was young she resembled her father, but in her later years, she really resembles her mother now.
It's Her eyes for me
Kind of weird that the other daughter looks nothing like her mother.
Yes i agree
yes! exactly!!
She looks so much like her dad but there are definitely flashes of her mother. I can’t put my finger on what features she has that are her mom’s because her dad’s features are kind of overpowering but Judy’s are there.
Judy knew how precious childhood was as she practically lost hers to showbiz. So I think she tried to give her kids fun in so many ways that they could always take with them.
Good interpretation.
Judy was not just a star; she was a Universe of talent. In 8 bars she could bring you to tears. Very few entertainers can grab your heart out of your chest for two hours then gently place it back into your chest. She was art, magic and technique rolled into one body. Other artists of that day were glamorous, technically brilliant but they held back. None had that depth of emotion and earthiness on display in film and in live performances. She put it all out there. And those who were blessed to see her live or while filming all knew they were looking at a phenom.
Lorna is an open book and Liza is protective and guarded (and for good reason with people being invasive). Such talented, wonderful women.
Judy Garland done a fantastic job with her children, such devoted love ❤
They've inherited their mother's sense of humour! Nice - what a childhood they must've had..
Close your eyes while listening to this, hearing Liza talk and laugh you'd almost swear it was Judy. It's uncanny, and I LOVE it. 🌈❤️
Gosh Liza is Judys twin in looks, personality and voice.
I was just thinking when she giggled in the beginning she sounded just like Judy!
xsarabearx1 are you kidding??? She is the living embodiment of her father Vincent Minnelli
no, Judy was cute, Liza is horsey with fake lashes.
And Lorna looks a lot like her Dad.
I wish Judy was alive today she wouldve had a good giggle with her daughter's. R.I.P Judy Garland
Liza is great at handling attention in public. I used to live across the street from the Broadway theater where she played in a musical called The Rink. We would often watch as she left the theater each night - greeting a healthy throng of people waiting at the stage door. Sometime we could yell "We love you Liza!" from the apartment, and several times she came to the edge of the sidewalk and had a little conversation with us, across 45th street. She is so tremendously sweet and gracious. Will never forget her playing Carnegie Hall shortly after this and how she completely brought down the house.
Greg07623 Cabaret was my fav . movie really showed all her talent.. girlfriend picks on me cause I have movie in my collection......
I have been an avid fan of both ladies for decades,many decades ,and the whole world can wittiness their brilliance over and over just by viewing their remarkable film and video accomplishments .But it’s difficult to describe the powerful force of nature that exploded on stage each time either one of them performed in concert .It was like a religious revival on steroids.The roar from the audience as soon as Judy/Liza stepped on stage was unbelievable regardless of who’s concert you were part of,and you were part of the performance she would make sure of that ,then that little person on stage would command you through her performance to sing with her , laugh with her,and yes ,cry with her while applauding and cheering her along. When she was done with you and you and she were both exhausted,you sill wanted more,and sometimes she gave you more .The result was that each experience was unforgettable and even life changing.It was pretty much the same if it was Judy or Liza .The Show may have been different but the result was the same. We may never see the likes of them again
Thank you for sharing your great memories.
@@mikegoupill7328 You said this so very heartfelt remark, and I could see Judy with Her audience; talking and really giving them a experience that they would remember the rest of their lives !! So eloquently said !! Thank You! So very much !! A Judy/ Liza FAN FOR LIFE !!!!! LUV YA !!!
Awesome ♡♡
Goodness Liza talks and looks so much like her mother!
As I've said, Judy lives, and Liza is the proof!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Lyndsey 88 I Said The Same Thing
Lyndsey 88 I agree. You got to look fast
Everyone sees that but Judy had a vulnerable side to her character, Liza did not.
Its amazing how much Liza look and sound like her mother
Liza is actually an image of her father.
jrt2009 She has her father's eyes but everything else Judy
jrt2009 Right on!
Your right, I don't think Liza ever looked like or was as beautiful as Judy nor do I think Liza sang or her acting was anything like Judy.
@@decohn she definitely sounds alot like Judy when she sings, not exactly. But close. She definitely looks alot like both, her parents.
i love their personalities and especially liza's laugh
I love their spirits!! You can tell they were raised with so much love despite the chaos that went on.
I would love to hear these sisters record a tribute to their mother. Do a tour together singing theirs and Judy's music telling stories about their lives . It would be a full circle event. Historical.
I like that Liza has her arm around Lorna protective sister
I am so glad that Judy left us her three amazing children to carry on, and grandchildren, etc. Because Judy is an idol of mine and her kids are her living legacy!
Cynthia Currie Ummmmmm...
Great to see how much love they have for one another, and how proud Liza is of Lorna!
They particularly Lorna) inherited Judys great sense of humour!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Liza is all Judy. Her mannerisms, voice, her laugh,etc. Lorne is a blend of her mom and dad. Liza is all Judy. It's so wonderful how these sisters love and protect each other. See what tragic lifestyle brings families together. Strong and full of love for each other.
Tears to my ears how much Liza looks like Judy. Love.
Tika Boo She looks exactly like Vincent Minnelli!
@@KDL861 I agree. Nothing like Judy
I think she has Judy’s eyes and definitely her voice but for the most part, she looks like her father.
@@KDL861 She has only his nose; the rest are Judy!
I think that it's sweet that Liza is so positive about her sister. She really does seem proud of her.
I have to say that I had the opportunity to see "Guys and Dolls" at the Pantages Theartre in Los Angeles circa 1993/94? Lorna Luft was "Adeline" in the show. Ms. Luft was amazing, outstanding, and shined like a beautiful comet ablazoned upon a stage! Her presence did nothing short than radiate star quality, and she outshinned everyone in the show with her natural ability. Trust me this is def. Judy Garland's daughter, upon hearing her sing and it's very apparent, the apple does not fall far from the tree- tallently speaking. Vocally Lorna was a powerhouse! Please remember this is an interview made for television and I would suspect it can be a little daunting, and nerve wracking talking about your private life very openly and candily. Liza has such a presence and really is like a moving, breathing, art installation of life in flux. I think Liza much like Judy lives for the applause, so to speak. Lorna is more private and hasn't lived her life in front of a lens as much as Liza and Judy did, so that's the difference I see. I was very pleasantly suprised to see Lorna Luft was such a force to be reckoned with. She is trully talented, if you have the opportunity to see her perform do so.
I think Liza and Lorna look great. They may have had facelifts at one point but they can both frown have laugh lines and still are recognizable as themselves. They have come out many difficulties as close sisters. I'm happy for them. Thanks for upload:)
What facelifts?
This is honestly so delightful! I love that they can bond together over their legendary mother. But I love the stories of their own lives even more! It’s like sitting with two favorite aunts and hearing them talk about love, life, and the ugly side of both. I’d love to know more about Liza and Lorna as individuals!
They are darling. What wonderful senses of humor and animated wonderful conversations. Thanks for sharing.
I think Lorna and Liza both look like Judy! Lorna looks more like the younger Judy and Liza looks like the more mature Judy, but both are wonderful versions of their mother and is their brother Joey Luft.
I have FIVE SISTERS, and LOVE THEM DEARLY!!!! I can understand the LOVE they feel for one another, and I'm sooooo GLAD!!!! I'm sure their mother would be looking down smiling!!!!
I have always felt the same way about Liza. Judy re-incarnated. I watch everything Liza does.................Really love her New York, ,New York and the movie Cabaret.
I love the way Liza is so show even after the show. I simply love her.
Liza has the same twitchy mannnerisms as her mom. Lorna seems much more down to earth; someone who has always been in her sister's shadow.
OMG, these two are hilarious.
So was Judy. (:
@@vampirf1539 You're so right. I think part of what made Judy even funnier was that she lived in a time of much more verbal wit and repartee.
I look at Liza and think that Anne Hathaway could play a young version of
her in a movie.
Ashleigh Tancrell That’s Who Anne Hathaway looks like!!
I am always trying to put my finger on who she looks like..
SHE COULD DO THE LIZA MOVIE YES
OMG yes
I thought the same thing.
Yes, quite a resemblance.
Of all the concerts I have seen in my 72 years.,....Liza in Vegas early 70’s.
Amazing she never took a breath after 2 plus hours. 😀
At 7:16 look at the happiness on Judy's face as her daughter sings she was a proud mama
I love how you get one story one time...and another story another time. I've heard Liza say that she was raised by her mother and Lorna was raised by her father. They saw one another maybe once a year. Liza said that she and Lorna were more like cousins than sisters.
That does make sense; and goes along with what happened in Me and My Shadows.
Wonderful! I love Liza - an amazing talent!
I wish them both health and happiness.
I don't think Judy could be more proud of the people her children have become. I love how they have such a good sense of humor which I think they got from their mom.
LOL they act like typical siblings. I love their personalities. They're so funny and cheerful.
R.I.P Judy Garland. Best actress to ever grace the screen!
It's great to hear these two share their story. I imagine their mom would be please, proud and laughing right along
Great sisters, great brother from great parents (The greatest singing mother)
Hats off and a big salute to all of them
what Joy they brought to us all.
OMG...this is awsome! thanks for posting this! i love hearing all their stories! they are priceless!!! :)
This is brilliant!! Thanks for posting.
Liza is Judy's mini me. She had many marriages, drug problems, almost parallel life to her mother. This is a beautiful story about sisters love.
I love this family....inperfect and beautiful. Judy left an amazing Legacy
I must say Lorna Looks like Sid, an Liza Looks like Judy& Vincente but her voice is like hearing Judy all over again.
Lorna does look like Sid but she does have some of Judy's features.
Lovely done!!! Good to see this again. Love to see them sing together again. 🦋💜♥️🌷🎶❤💕🌹🎵⚘
Thanks for posting this! Omg, I love it.
Liza is an ICON in her own right, but Lorna got the voice, let's be honest.
This is a fantastic vid, thanks so much for this upload.
who else just LOVES the way liza talks
Lorna has a beautiful voice.
EmpressOfWyoming58 .. also she is memorizing beauty..... and ......
@@TyhlerNovac It's good to be able to memorize things. And mesmerize, too!
P.S. guilty pleasure of mine is watching Grease 2 (this movie is soo bad it's good)with Michelle Pfiffer and Lorna Luft-come on folks, when Lorna sings "Girl for all season's" in the "Wedding Corsett" she's pretty adorable!
She sure tells mr push everyone around nogarelli off..❤❤❤ grease 2
Yes I need to see that movie again. One of my favorites.
i
love
you
for
posting
this
!!!!
What wonderful, charming sisters. I had the fortune of seeing Liza when her "Liza with a Z" tour was in Dallas. An incredible show. I would give anything to see her again. Lorna too! If you gals are ever in New Orleans, look me up!
Thanks so much for adding this, I had it recorded off Living from years ago, but lost it...
Love this!
This is terrific! Two great ladies.
i like their personalities (cant compare to their mom Judy) Lorna is like Bette Midler and Liza was like Judy. Both had great voices. Too bad that they had to go through the illness of drugs/alcohol abuse etc. Hope they are living a better life now.
You can tell how loving Judy was with her children. She was a good mother
Thank you.. I really enjoyed this☺Both Lorna and Liza seem Very Nice. I personally think Lorna is more like Judy especially her singing voice. Liza looks like her father. Both very talented in there own right though.
Jennifer Napoli I agree totally!
I love these two! And Liza's laugh is just great, it makes me laugh too :D
They remind me of me and my sister. Judy lives on! I wish they could have had their mom longer. She would be so proud.
My brother and me looked quite a bit alike, and our parents couldn't tell us apart on the phone!! Lol. He was 12 years older than me, and died in a car accident 19 years ago. Sometimes when I laugh, I stop suddenly, because I know I sounded just like he did when he laughed. Miss him .
Liza learned from the very best and was blessed with her powerful voice... mother and daughter Legends.
I’m here after Renee Zellweger’s biopic.
Gigih Rahmatika ditto - I’m looking up Judy Garland like crazy ever since.
@@llizsimmons6606 same hahah
How lucky for Lorna to have Liza who is the embodiment of her mother
I love listening to Liza talking. And her laugh. She's quite the character
I think it is a tribute to Miss Garland that her children have been answering questions about her for over 50 years - graciously.
The beauty, love and humor of two sisters. Beauty.
liza does sound so much like her mother
Oh this is so so cool!!!
I love Liza and Lorna's laugh
I love this!
Liza is a kind and generous sister! Look how she defers to her younger less talent sister. So sweet so kind ..so gifted!
Family. Two women, sisters having a remarkable mother who was the most openminded humanitarian funny most talented unique person Hollywood was lucky to know. Her children are remarkable as well.
I love their personalities x
I saw the premiere of JUDY this past Monday. It’s AMAZING!!
Go see it !!! ❤️❤️❤️
It was, l took my daughter, she loved it. What a great voice and lady.
MY
WORDS
EXACTLY
THANK YOU x 10000!
xxxxx
I love Lorna, she is very level headed and so pretty. 😊👍
Saw her years ago at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, really good night. 😍😍
What Liza says in the first seconds of this video, perfectly sums up what a sister's relationship truly is.
love you both so much !
I liked seeing these two seated at the Oscars a couple a years ago, and being featured during the broadcast.
Love this sister interview 💞💯🥰
RIP JUDY GARLAND 💖
I think you're right--in other comments I said Liza looked like an Italian Judy--but now I see that Liza really is all her father--not only in coloring but also in features. But 1 gets mixed up because her mannerisms, voice are SO her mother--she's a split of her parents for sure. Lorna is all her father--u'd never know she was Judy's dau.--no resemblence. What about Joey?-probably Dad too--he's never commentated like his outspoken sisters. Judy would be proud of all 3 --how they turned out.
Well I read Lorna's book n she seemed very nice n down to earth. Wonderful singer too!
Tey are such REAL, charming, lovable sisters and people. :').... There Mamma would be proud.
I've never actually watched anything with Liza in it before but my god she is so much like her mother. I'm glad that she got most of her genes so now we still have a bit of Judy here in this generation
Liza Minnelli always comes across as such a lovely person. 💕
Judy garland will always be the greatest
I met Lorna backstage at a concert. Charming lady.
Both sisters, beautiful and talented! Joey talented too. Judy was so proud.
Lorna has a beautiful voice and resembled Judy when Judy was very young as a child.
There has NEVER , WILL never be ANYONE as KIND, hard working, FUN as LIZA, yes she IS her Mother's Daughter but she is the Queen of Broadway and our Hearts
When I look at Liza, I see Judy! It is as if she is still with us! Lorna is great too!
Huge Liza fan. In 6th grade a must of seen Caberet like 20 times. I was completely blow away bye her.
Liza was great in the movie "Arthur" with Dudley Moore and Sir John Guilgud. Lorna has a great sense of humor. To me, they don't look to be related at all but I know they have different fathers. Nevertheless, I love seeing them joke around and laugh...like best friends do.
You two sisters are amazing. And Liza a gifted mother and father.
This is adorableeeee
Liza and Joyce DeWitt aka Janet from Three's Company have a resemblance to one another lol
G-Nice p I kinda see it.
Just from the hair.
Judy was so proud of her babies :)
