Judy Garland\u2019s youngest daughter, Lorna Luft, undergoes mastectomy<\/b><\/p>\n

Lorna Luft has shared the news on Facebook that she has undergone a mastectomy.<\/p>\n

The youngest daughter of gay<\/a> icon Judy Garland shared the medical update in a Facebook post Wednesday (5 August).<\/p>\n

‘I am recovering well,’ she writes. ‘Surrounded by family, friends and an outstanding team of doctors and nurses. I am especially grateful for the outpouring of love and support I have received from all of you. I am so blessed!’<\/p>\n

Luft adds: ‘Looking forward to a very bright future.’<\/p>\n

Luft, now 62, was still a teenager when her legendary mother died in 1969 at the age of 47 of an accidental drug overdose. She left behind Luft, her younger brother Joey Luft and older sister Liza Minnelli.<\/p>\n

But she said earlier this year she doesn’t want anyone to think of Garland as a tragic figure.<\/p>\n

‘We all have our problems, every single one of us,’ Luft told the Daily Express<\/a>. ‘There has long been a myth about my mum being a tragic figure that has driven me nuts and it used to drive my mother nuts too. She never understood it because she truly wasn’t tragic.<\/p>\n

‘She was incredibly warm and amazingly funny. She was smart and so gifted. She took us on the movie sets with her and at home she was a regular person.’<\/p>\n

Luft  toured the UK earlier this year with new show, Judy – The Songbook Of Judy Garland. In the show, she sang many songs made famous by her mother in such classic films as The Wizard of Oz, A Star is Born and Meet Me In St. Louis.<\/p>\n

In addition to her work on the stage, Luft is best known for her role in the 1982 cult classic Grease 2 and was a cast member on the TV series Trapper John M.D.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
