Lorna Luft, daughter of Judy Garland, to speak at Drug Education Council Luncheon

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The Drug Education Council invites you to its annual fundraising luncheon. This year’s guest speaker is Lorna Luft, the daughter of Judy Garland.

Here’s the information they shared with FOX10 about the event:

Please join us for the 27th Annual Drug Education Luncheon. This year our speaker is Lorna Luft, daughter of Judy Garland and half sister to Liza Minnelli. At 15, Lorna appeared with her mother in Judy at the Palace. Since then she has performed on stage, theatre, television, and the widescreen.

In 2018, Lorna wrote a New York bestseller A Star is Born: Judy Garland and The Film that got away. “My mother was a magnificent human being and a talent we will never see again. And yes, my mother was addicted to prescription drugs.” Says Lorna Huft, “In the end, no one could have saved her. We did not have the knowledge, education and facilities we have now.”

In the late seventies, Lorna also followed her mom into addiction. Lorna has now been sober for 42 years and now shares her incredible journey of sobriety with others.

March 11, 2024, at the Mobile Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel, at 11:00 a.m., to hear Lorna’s story of recovery.
