I am just curious how Liza looks at her mother (Yes I know Judy Garland is deaseased) did they get along? Did she love/hate her?

What sparked my curiosity was at this years Tonys she thanked everyone but her mother and even referred to someone else as her mother.

Also does anyone have a fan mail adress I can send Liza something?

First off... Judy Garland isn't 'deaseased' but deceased. Liza and her mother were very close and remained so until Judy's untimely passing in 1969. Judy was very much in debt, which Liza took upon as her responsibility and paid them all off to clear her mother's name.

Also, at this past June's Tony Awards, Liza thanked her godmother, the legendary Kay Thompson... who's material Liza is/was performing in her recent Broadway gig. Kay Thompson was one of her mother's best-friends.

Liza's godmother was Kay Thompson, not Kate Thompson.

There are hundreds of books out there.

None of them ever say that Liza didn't love her mother.

She also talks about her parents all of the time... like in the Forbidden Broadway sketch, Liza One-Note!

Liza loved her mother very much. I know this very well and whenever she talks about her, it's obvious how genuine that love is. Anyone who says she didn't is flat out lying.
