I had grown up accustomed to living a life of high drama.

The eyebrow pencil and false eyelashes were essential; my mother didn't feel dressed without them.

When I got a call from Los Angeles to do the Tonight Show, I considered it more of an inconvenience than an opportunity.

People come up to me as I leave the stage after a performance and tell me tey saw my mother onstage with me every time I sing. I keep a sense of humor about it.

In June 1968, five days before my mother's forty -sixth birthday, the world fell apart again. Sirhan Sirhan shot Bobby Kennedy, who died the next day. Why were people shooting all the Kennedys? Had the country gone mad?

People are always asking me what it's like to be Judy Garland's daughter. It's hard to be a legend's child.

The Broadway community is unlike any community in show business and it is unlike any community in the world. When you come into the Broadway community they open the door and they say "welcome". Not only do they do that, but when times are really tough and horrendous things have happened and really tragic things - the Broadway community shows up! And they say "how can we help?".
