The world first discovered her through a delightful appearance on her mother's TV series, The Judy Garland Show. In typical showbiz fashion, she soon joined her mom for a concert tour; the highlight being on Broadway at New York's famed Palace Theater. In this month-long engagement Judy Garland shared the bill with 14 year-old Lorna. Soon after, Lorna made her talk show debut singing "Smile" on The Mike Douglas Show and since then her career has blossomed.

At age 19, Lorna returned to Broadway to star in the Neil Simon hit musical Promises, Promises. She continued on the NY stage as "Peppermint Patty" in the musical Snoopy and then took a dramatic turn with Farrah Fawcett in Extremities. In addition to regional theatre and international productions of The Boy Friend, Grease, Carnival, Little Shop of Horrors, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Girl Crazy, Mame and Gypsy, she starred in national tours of They're Playing Our Song, Jerry Herman's Broadway Years, and as "Miss Adelaide" in Jerry Zaks' world tour production of Guys & Dolls.

Concurrent with her theatrical career, Lorna is also a gifted concert performer. Her exuberant engagements have introduced her to the world's most prestigious venues where she's triumphed at The Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, The London Palladium, and Prince Edward Theatre. She's had the honor of performing for the Royal Family in concerts honoring Sammy Davis, Jr. and Ira Gershwin, both held at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Lorna may be familiar to TV audiences for roles on Love American Style, Murder She Wrote, The Nanny, and for her supporting role as "Nurse Libby Kegler" on the CBS medical drama, Trapper John M.D. She's performed on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Christmas at Rockefeller Center, joined half-sister, Liza Minnelli, in an electrifying duet on The Tony Awards and performed on PBS's Jerry Herman's Broadway at the Bowl. In 2004 she was the subject of a highly rated BBC documentary titled Somebody's Daughter, Somebody's Son. In films, Lorna is most remembered as Pink Lady "Paulette Rebchuck" in the camp classic Grease 2 and for her humorous role in Where the Boys Are '84.

In 1998 Lorna added a new dimension to her multi-faceted career, that of NY Times best-selling author upon the release of her critically acclaimed memoir -- Me and My Shadows. It was optioned by ABC-TV which broadcast a 4 hour miniseries starring Judy Davis. Lorna served as Co-Executive Producer on Life with Judy Garland: Me & My Shadows. Airing in February 2001 it garnered the highest ratings of the season and won 5 Emmy Awards.

Recently she began her most ambitious project to date, the highly acclaimed multi-media production of Songs My Mother Taught Me -- A Celebration of the Music of Judy Garland. After decades of avoidance, Lorna finally approaches her mother's legendary songbook for the first time and the result is truly phenomenal. This newly staged theatrical extravaganza melds one of the world's most familiar songbooks with personal memories of mother and legend, Judy Garland. Songs My Mother Taught Me, which Variety called "a rousing, dramatically riveting musical event," played 11 weeks at the historic Canon Theater in Beverly Hills and was awarded two LA Theatre Alliance Ovation Awards (Best World Premiere Musical and Best Musical Direction.) The LA Times said Songs My Mother Taught Me is "heart-stopping and thrilling… an incandescent revelation not to be missed." Recently, Songs My Mother Taught Me completed an eight week season in London's West End and a tour of Ireland. Lorna is currently at work on the soundtrack of the show for release in 2006.

Lorna is the mother of two -- Jesse and Vanessa, is married to celebrated musician, Colin R. Freeman and currently lives in Beverly Hills, California.

From her early work with her mother to spectacular concert performances, acclaim on Broadway, and in television, Lorna proves again and again that she's a stellar entertainer and humanitarian, proudly carrying the torch of her family's legendary show business legacy.
