After this collection was assembled, I happened to find some
additional material on “Liza!” that needed to be included in this collection.

Overall, this is an exceptional interview, welcoming her return to the
public eye, after being away for quite some time. In an attempt to garner
some sort of reaction from her, the producers have decided to show
a “wonderful” appearance of her and Lorna singing together, after which they
make a point to say, that the two of them haven’t spoken to one another in
almost three years. Without a doubt, your heart goes out to Liza, and you
know that it hurt her feelings very much, to see that clip. I know a lot of the
fans were outraged at the staging of this little episode.
