Liza Minnelli to Sell Her Career Collection, Including Items of Judy Garland
We wanted to share with you this very special article that includes a remarkable list of items owned by Judy's daughter, Liza, including things she is selling that belonged to her mother, Judy Garland. This is truly the end of an era.

Wow! Very sad Liza has to do that! I wish she could keep it all, of her very own mother! I don't want to think of it as the end of an era rather than more difficult financial times. CD's don't sell as well as they use to too. I bet Liza's voice is as great as ever, but I suppose touring takes a lot of energy and investment risks.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad to hear LiZa is going to sell some of her mom's items. I guess she can't afford to hold on to all of them. Heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteI am glad LiZa wants to give back the love to her fans and her mom's fans by auctioning off many beloved items held in storage for decades. What an exciting possibility for collectors.
