Lorna Luft
Lorna Luft (born November 21, 1952) is an American television, stage, and film actress and singer. She is the daughter of singer and actress Judy Garland and Sid Luft, and the half-sister of singer and actress Liza Minnelli.
Early life
Lorna Luft was born in Santa Monica.
Career
Stage and television
She made her show business debut at age 11 singing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" on the 1963 Christmas episode of her mother's CBS television series, The Judy Garland Show. Siblings Liza Minnelli and Joey Luft also appeared in this episode.
She soon joined the family act on a summer concert tour, the highlight being Garland’s third and final appearance at New York City's famed Palace Theatre on Broadway in 1967. In this month-long engagement, Judy Garland "shared" the bill with Lorna (then 14 years old) and son Joey (12 years old). The show was recorded live and released on ABC Records as Judy Garland: At Home At The Palace.
Luft is married to her second husband, musician Colin R. Freeman.

Shining Star
by: Lorna LuftTwinkle twinkle little star
I know who and what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
One starless night
A night in June
I saw a star, a single star
Beside the moon
Suddenly I knew
It was meant to be
That shining star
Was there for me
Oh how she shines
Shines on and on
As I will shine
For those of mine
When I am gone
We will all be stars
Someday, you and I
Will spread our wings
And light the sky
(Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
A way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me)
Twinkle twinkle little star
I know who and what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
(Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I)
Oh how she shines
Shines on and on
As I will shine for those of mine
When I am gone
We will all be stars
Someday, you and I
Will spread our wings
And light the sky
(If happy little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I)
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond, like a diamond,
Like a diamond
