Dancing with the Stars
According to accounts of the making of this film, including a documentary included on the DVD release, Astaire was somewhat intimidated by Powell, who was considered the only female dancer ever capable of out-dancing Astaire. – Wikipedia
Eleanor Powell, tapped with the best,
Dancing with energy, vigor, and zest,
Authorities say she was able to scare,
The dapper unflappably poised Fred Astaire.

We Are Family
"Born into what we were born into, we didn't have a choice, but we made a choice to say to one another, it will always be the two of us, and who we decide to invite to the party will be our decision and that's why," Luft says of her bond with Minnelli. – “Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft Share Memories From Their Home Life With Mom Judy Garland (Exclusive)” -- etonline.com
Singer-actor Lorna Luft
Had a life in which she toughed
It out as second tier,
Never quite an equal peer
With her sister or her mother,
But with one thing and another,
Had the wherewithal to make
A living in her mother’s wake.
Envoi
It’s not a crime to live on loyalty
To your family’s showbiz royalty.
