I don't ever remember seeing death notices anywhere for Judy Garland's
sisters, with whom she used to perform as a child. Are they still around?
TIA

of Judy's two sisters, Sue, commited suicide in 1964 in Las Vegas I think.
Virginia lived out a normal life, and died quietly in Texas somewhere around
the mid to late 1970's

So none of the Gumm sisters are still with us.

Nope, all gone. The last one died a good 20 or 25 years ago.

Gee--I didn't know one had also killed herself! Terrible. Thanks for the

I'm sorry to hear that all the Gumm sisters have gone. Along the same
line of inquiry, I wanted to ask if anyone knows the status of Joey
Luft, Judy's son by Sid Luft. Liza appears in the entertainment news
all the time, and Lorna Luft occasionally turns up on specials about
her mother. But I have never seen Joey Luft except in stills and
never heard him discussed.

i *thought* i heard that he's a bit sickly because of the effects of
being born while judy was using drugs. the last i saw of him, the
three of them were being interviewed about their mother and "wizard of
oz." liza mostly talked during that one.
