 Sid Luft | Obituaries | Guardian Unlimited
Garland was married to Luft much longer than to any of her other four husbands, and he was responsible for helping her return to some semblance of stability when both her life (she had made several suicide attempts) and her career (she had been fired by MGM) were at their lowest ebb.
In 1993, reinforcing people's opinion of him as an opportunist, Luft tried to auction the 1939 Oscar that Garland won as best juvenile actress for her performance in The Wizard of Oz and the replacement statuette she received in 1958 after claiming the first one was lost.
Luft was portrayed in a similar way in the 2001 television biopic based on the book.

 Telegraph | Entertainment | 'I couldn't stop Judy falling apart'
At 85, Michael Sidney Luft rarely gives interviews and is usually reluctant to talk about his 14 stormy years with Judy.
She was only five foot tall - just a shrimp of a girl, really - but she had a very sensuous body and, up close, her skin was like porcelain, pure white.
A rugged former test pilot with a reputation for hard drinking and bar-room brawling, he lacked the showbusiness polish of Judy's two previous husbands: orchestra leader David Rose, whom she married two years after playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and director Vincente Minnelli, the genius behind Meet Me in St Louis.

I was completely captivated by Paul Bloom's winsomely evenhanded "Is God an Accident?" and, predictably, enjoyed Christopher Hitchens on Lolita, but was repelled by Mark Steyn's tin-eared, bitchy obituary of Sidney Luft, some of whose facts looked fishy to me. I'll keep buying the magazine till I make up my mind.
Also just re-ordered the daily NYT after a multi-year break.
