The Liza Minnelli and Peter Sellers romance

Liza announcing the breakup with Desi Jr.

Peter Sellers was an abusive psychopath.

Because he was too crazy, even for Liza “LOON” Minnelli.

I didn't realize they were ever together. I remember him being with a lot of blondes.

So Peter Sellers was gay?

I remember their romance was publicly announced which made its disintegration especially humiliating. I always imagined it was fueled by drink and drugs and once the haze cleared there was a cold winter morning ahead.

Yes, OP. Kay Thompson was Liza’s godmother.

I didn't know about Sellers. Wow, she dropped the young and virile Desi Jr for an abusive, middle-aged sociopath. I'm hard-pressed to think of another Hollywood figure with such poor judgment and taste in men.

My godmother never climbed into a car with me with paps and cameras pressing in.

It usually was my uncle.

R8:

Ahem.

Oh, Kay!

What did Lucy think of Liza? Was Lucy friends with Judy? All iconic female legends known by their four letter names - Liza’s favorite number!

He was in love with Britt Ekland. He was just using Liza for publicity.

r2 Well Liza thought he was hilarious.

Lucy did not like it. She would not have allowed the marriage so Liza acted out and moved on in the first of a long line of poor and highly public decisions.

But I think Lucy liked Liza more than Patty. At least Liza was Hollywood royalty.

Peter and Liza were both using something.

Lucy loved Liza, but didn't think she was marriage material. She remained on good terms with the family after separating.

She loved his direction of "Nixon in China" and dreamed someday of playing Madame Mao at the Metropolitan Opera. He was just a means to that end.

I thought she wanted to play Patsy, r19.

[quote]She was set to marry Desi then broke it off

Liza wanted to marry Desi Jr. but Lucy talked her out of it.

R10 Are you saying Peter Bogdanovich was an abusive sociopath?

Did Lucy know Liza...?
