this masquerade

“The biggest misconception people have about my mother is that she was so unhappy. I think people enjoy thinking that — some of them, anyway. They see the tragedy as opposed to the fact that she understood how to play tragedy.

I remember somebody at school once said something really mean about her: ‘Oh, Judy does too much of this or that, she drinks too much.’ And I came home from school crying; my mother asked me what was wrong and I told her. And then she said, ‘You know what? You let everybody say what they’re gonna say, and we’ll go get a hamburger.’ “

- Liza Minnelli on her mother, Judy Garland

Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 - June 22, 1969)
