Liza Minnelli Talks About Her Three Late Friends

Liza Minnelli has recently said on a TV show about Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Whitney Houston. These four—who are all among the best in the industry—were mutual friends, and only Liza Minnelli remains alive from the group.

This photo is very striking in this regard. It was taken on March 10, 1988, at a dinner party celebrating the 44th anniversary of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) at the Sheraton Hotel in New York. That night, Michael received the Frederick D. Patterson Award and an honorary doctorate degree from Fisk University for his human and humanitarian services and his financial contributions to this foundation.

Speaking about being the only one left from this group of four, Liza Minnelli says: “It’s strange—truly strange.”

In the program, she said she had always felt different from her three other friends. As the daughter of actress Judy Garland, she grew up amid Hollywood’s glamour, so the luxuries of life didn’t affect her—but…

“What affected me was seeing funny, talented people who enjoyed life and loved it. That’s what I was looking for—I wanted to be like that.”
