This interview has become invaluable as more time has passed.

[@dantesebastian1777]

I adored Robert Osborne because he's so classy and witty. And he knew movies

[@TheSaltydog07]

I'm watching because i miss Robert and Love Liza. ❤❤❤❤

[@kellybrown8638]

Robert Osborne was a national treasure

[@lizsmith3132]

Happy 78th birthday 😊! Liza thinking of you.

[@SJ-ni6iy]

I always loved watching Robert Osborne on TCM. You can tell he had a real love for old Hollywood and this made his interviews more enjoyable.

[@cliffordgoodrich3773]

Thank you so much for making this video and showing us another side of Liza. She's a truly great entertainer.

[@dddddadadad1796]

Bless Liza. I don’t think she has a mean bone in her body… and may Mr. Osborn rest in peace

[@lindakahler4799]

Met Liza in NYC. She was walking out of City Center with Michael Feinstein. She is darling . Was after her hip surgery and we wished her well and told her we loved her

[@BellaFirenze]

I was right behind them!

[@Spiderman7Bob7]

We musy all pray and wish the best for Liza . She's had a hard time of it . She is a good soul who has been given some bad breaks , but she keeps on going in spite of her illiness .

[@MaxRyan777]

Thank you soooo much for posting this. Liza is the BEST

[@mariealainawalukas3048]

She is sooooo amazing! So gracious and real. She has worked so hard to make her own way and has fought harder than even her Parents did to be a Star in her own right. Broadway didn’t have a lot of PR or Stylists or image makers like the Hollywood studio system did when her parents worked for MGM. You had to have IT or you didn’t make it in NYC. And she did it from the bottom up. All stage performers no matter their background, gender, level of talent or parentage must learn how to work the entire house. Wardrobe collection, costume sewing, ticket pressing and sales, set creation and direction, painting and moving sets. The list is endless. But everyone comes up that way if they stick with it. Liza is a star because she learned at a young age exactly what is expected of a performer. And because she has the stage in her DNA. She’s a favorite of mine! ❤❤❤

[@poetcomic1]

Kay Thompson worked with Judy to help shape her reinvention as a concert artist. The gestures, the song stylings, the reaching gesture, the hand in her hair etc. etc. The mature singer was NOT the MGM singer anymore but a lone figure on the stages of the world.

[@sharpear1031]

That is what I always wondered about Liza - does she miss all those people she knew from her parents' world (I would think there is a lot to miss) and, of course, her parents and she clearly said here, she does - she carries that with her.

[@DougerSR]

RIP Mr Osborne!!!

[@jeromethomas1741]

IN 70S AND 80s HER MuSicals are WONDERFUL

[@Muswell]

The choreography for Judy & Mickey films like "Strike Up the Band" was done by Busby Berkeley. It was Buzz who devised the fruit orchestra.

[@mariealainawalukas3048]

Yes. Buzz directed it and he set up the band for stop time animation. But Vincente proposed the idea to LB Mayer and Buzz.

[@kurbatska]

What a class! Manners, the way she dressed, nothing screaming, no stupid nails, no nonsense crazy face lifting, even it is there...Simple and brilliant! A real Star, period.

[@gaylefranklin]

"Stupid nails?" Tearing down one diva doesn't elevate another.@@gaylefranklin

[@gaylefranklin]

@@chrisn7259 what? I didn’t say that. I would never say that.

[@Buckboy2024]

Hear, hear!

*What class and manners! The way she dresses; no.....

[@gracebono7680]

Wonderful. Robert Osborne class act.

[@michaeltrower741]

She's got such a beautiful smile:)

[@lindahughes2289]

LIZA WITH A Z !!! Thank you for all your AMAZING work of art.

[@torontoross]

Brilliant, classy. What a past. As she would say, holy Toledo. Love my Liza.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Can someone explain why Liza has NOT received the Kennedy Ctr Honor award??? Why? It can't be awarded posthumously. So who is blocking it and, again, why???

[@katesleuth1156]

Yet Barbra Streisand received the award in 2008. Liza is much more talented as a singer than Barbra.

[@legrandeanorey3860]

Liza es adorable. ❤❤

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

If only the studio system had not shut down, they'd have made an even bigger star of Liza. Shut intelligence.

[@showtunestarpower]

It is so delightful to hear Liza Minelli talking in so much detail - and with so much appreciation for all the people who mattered to her.

[@evahatfield9477]

Oh how I miss Robert Osborne, he was perfect for TCM❤

[@alexwallace6120]

I think Liza ay remember In the good old Summertime, she was 2/1/2. the other films her mother did at MGM, The Pirate was 1947,so she was only 1 yr. old. She was 4,when her mother left in 1950,and divorced her father. Yet, her father continued directing.

[@anneroy4560]

Vincent Minnelli was a great director, did all kinds of famous films ... An Amerian in Paris, The Band Wagon, Gigi ... etc.

[@alexwallace6120]

yes, I should have mentioned that.@@anneroy4560

[@alexwallace6120]

yes he was and I should have mentined that. @@anneroy4560

[@joshdrayton1230]

Liza was five when her parents divorced. Younger when they separated. I somehow doubt she actually remembers what they discussed after work at the studio.

[@tedwatson9929]

that was GREAT

[@klassicalmuzik]

I love Liza! Hope I can meet her one day.

[@wotan10950]

Super-Talent! She had everything - the acting, the dancing, the singing. But like many celebrities, she went down the drugs and alcohol path. She could’ve accomplished so much more with her extraordinary gifts.

[@LizaFan]

Thank you for this!

[@LSTEdD1]

“Eloise” by Kay Thompson was about Liza Minnelli!

[@FilmeFatale]

yes, kay was liza's godmother

[@elizabethchild1620]

I loved Eloise. I wanted to be Eloise.

[@RonaldMorgan-n7o]

Although Kay Thompson didn't like making movies, I think it's great that she and Liza got to appear together in "Tell me that you love me Junie Moon". I know Liza treasures that too.

[@Buckboy2024]

I know! True!

[@vivianpowell1732]

She's wonderful. My favorite performance of Liza's is her singing "Teach Me Tonight" as her opening number at Radio City Music Hall in 1992.

[@brettrosen8628]

Rip 🪦 Robert Osburne

[@jimmyflanagan5938]

Liza doesn't nearly get the credit she deserves

[@sandyschipper1400]

That is a great picture of her and her parents kissing her.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Who sings the theme song?

[@GringoLatino941]

I met Liza at baggage claim at AA at JFK AIRPORT IN NY in 1983; got autograph. ❤ her.

[@frederickcombs8661]

There will l never be another

[@jeromethomas1741]

SHES TERRIFIC

[@jasbegs1258]

Anyone know the song/singer in the title?

[@TheSaltydog07]

At one time, it was "These Foolish Things." Ella's Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday recorded it, but I'm not sure who does this rendition.

[@elyneburns2224]

"The Every Thought of You" is the song listed in the end credits (but no singer name)

[@shaunreilly774]

A great talent, so sad to see her now with one foot in the grave.

[@Classicsatdusk]

Typical Liza. Everything she says here is what she's said hundreds of times in dozens of other interviews. Nothing new. She has a standard answer ready for any question.

[@billhosko7723]

[@LizaFan]

. . . and?

[@Digrient]

When they ask her the same old questions hundreds of times, what is she supposed to answer?

True. There's nothing new and different in his questioning. @@Digrient
