The multi-talented GARLAND (1922-1969) sang on stage with her sisters in the late 1920s and appeared on records and films from 1936, but her breakthrough to superstardom came with her role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (1939), singing her signature song Over the Rainbow. A competent actress and superbly gifted singer, Garland won an Oscar (with 2 more nominations), three Grammys (plus 6 of her recordings in the Grammy Hall of Fame), a Tony, and at least three Emmy nominations during her legendary career. By the late 1940s, her film career was suffering as a result of personal problems, including struggles with alcohol and the barbiturates that finally killed her, but she made a dazzling comeback in concert tours of the 1960s, especially Judy at Carnegie Hall (1961). Garland is the mother of actress Liza Minnelli and screenwriter/producer Lorna Luft. LUFT (1915-2005), born Michael Sidney Luft, was an American film producer who's probably best known as Judy Garland's third, and longest lasting, husband (1952-1965). Luft produced three Broadway productions for Garland between 1956 and 1967, as well as Garland's comeback film A Star is Born (1954), which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
