Another celebrity sighting at The Gables!

Lorna Luft, daughter of Judy Garland and producer, Sid Luft, made a brief appearance at The House of the Seven Gables yesterday, July 26th! She had been touring Salem and made a stop at The Gables with a guide dog in training from the organization Guide Dogs of The Desert. She is a spokesperson for the group and also raises puppies for the organization. Guide Dogs of The Desert provides independence and mobility to blind persons with special needs through the use of guide dogs.

Ms. Luft has many theatrical and musical credits and has appeared in several television shows and films, most notably Grease 2 and Where the Boys Are ’84.

Here is a photo in the Gables’ garden of Ms. Luft (left), the guide dog in training and Executive Director, Anita Blackaby:

We hope she enjoyed her visit with us! We were thrilled to have her on site!
