Judy and I: My Life with Judy Garland

The third of Judy Garland’s five husbands, Sid Luft was the one man in her life who stuck around. He was chiefly responsible for the final act of Judy’s meteoric career, producing her iconic, Oscar-nominated performance in A Star Is Born and expertly shaping her concert career. Previously unpublished, and only recently found, Sid Luft’s intimate autobiography tells their story. Their romance lasted Judy’s lifetime, despite the separations, the reconciliations, and the divorce. Under Luft’s management, Judy Garland came back, bigger than ever, building a singing career that rivaled Sinatra’s. However, Judy’s drug dependencies and suicidal tendencies put a tremendous strain on their relationship. Despite everything, Sid never stopped loving Judy and never forgave himself for not being able to ultimately save her from the demons that drove her to an early death.

Al treilea dintre cei cinci soti ai lui Judy Garland, Sid Luft a fost singurul barbat din viata ei care a ramas in jur. El a fost in principal responsabil pentru actul final al carierei meteorice a lui Judy, producand interpretarea ei iconica, nominalizata la Oscar in A Star Is Born si modelandu-si in mod expert cariera de concert.
