Who Is Sid Luft? Get to Know ‘The Wizard of Oz’ Star Judy Garland’s 3rd Husband

She is one of the biggest legends to ever grace the big screen, but while Judy Garland was a mega-star during her peak, she also had numerous husbands in her corner through it all — including Sid Luft, who she was married to for 13 years.

The Wizard of Oz star and the business man tied the knot in 1952. They would split in 1965, but not before having two children — Lorna and Joseph. The pair had a rollercoaster of a relationship, as they found themselves butting heads quite often. “They loved each other and had a real bond, but their relationship could be volatile because my dad had a temper and wouldn’t say no … and she had a temper and wouldn’t say no. So that got interesting!” the pair’s only daughter, 66, once exclusively told Closer Weekly.

However, “My father was like a tough guy out of Guys and Dolls, and my mother felt that was a lot of fun,” Lorna added. While we know the bright star that Judy was, what was Sid all about?
