I grew up listening to my father play the music of Judy Garland, and I had read books such as Weep No More My Lady, back in the 70s, so I was truly thrilled to get to talk with her daughter, Lorna Luft, about, in particular, her mom's addiction to pills, her own use of coke - a drug that was widely used in Ireland at the time of this interview in 2004 -  Studio 54, and how she finally broke away from using drugs. My dad died addicted to the same pills Judy had used. This is a clip from my new eBook From Darkness to Light - available on Amazon, soon to be available elsewhere -  which includes the full Lorna Luft interview, and is a collection of inspirational interviews for troubled times. Lorna's story sure is inspirational.
