The Truth About OUR MOM JUDY GARLAND

THE LEGENDARY PERFORMER'S CHILDREN SHARE SWEET MEMORIES TO COMMEMORATE HER 100TH BIRTHDAY

- 

Liza Minnelli recalls how her mother, Judy Garland, helped calm her down before they performed together at London's Palladium in 1964. "You know, other people think of her as Judy Garland," says Liza, who was 18 at the time. "[But] my mom was my mom.... If I got frightened, I'd look at her, and she would somehow know, and she would calm me down. Just by her look."

On June 10, the Wizard of Oz star would have been 100. Her three children, including Lorna and Joey Luft, want the world to join them in celebrating a woman blessed with talent, a sharp wit and a huge heart. "I thought she was perfect," Liza, 76, says. "Every little thing she did - perfect."
