We are so grateful for the care and compassion
LORNA LUFT
of Tidewell Hospice and the financial support for their Tidewell Foundation is pleased
to welcome Lorna Luft, daughter
services provided through the Tidewell Foundation. of the beloved legendary star
Judy Garland, health advocate,
– The Berlow Family Broadway star, Emmy-winning
artist and author of two books –
“Me and My Shadows: A Family
Memoir” and “A Star is Born: Judy
Garland and the Film that Got
Away,” as our keynote speaker.
Making her show business debut at 11 years of age, Lorna has been
a stage, film and Emmy-winning television actress and continues
to perform in both the U.S. and the U.K. She has been a dedicated
philanthropist fighting for a breast cancer cure and the importance
of comprehensive healthcare after battling breast cancer four times
and surviving brain cancer surgery. She is a tireless campaigner for
children’s healthcare and generously supports charities that provide
HIV/AIDS services.
Lorna speaks candidly about the challenges of mental illness and
the impact on women and their children and the courage it takes
to seek healing. She shares her experiences of her final years with
her famous mother and her compassion and love and ultimate grief
following her untimely death. As a caregiver, not just to her mother,
but also her dearest friend who spent her final two weeks of life in
hospice and passed away last year, Lorna has been touched by the
fragility and vulnerability of life.
Be inspired by Lorna’s strength and triumphs, and her insights into
an amazing legacy.
