I was born in a blender.

My sister Liza and I have never felt that we were in competition.

Although I loved Liza as a little girl, it would be true to say I really didn't know her.

My mother's life had been destroyed by the Garland legend.

Vincente understood all too well what was happening to Liza; he had gone through it 40 years earlier with my mother.

There are some family traditions I don't want my children to carry on.

The world fell apart. Sirhan Sirhan shot Bobby Kennedy. Why were people shooting all the Kennedys? Had the country gone mad?

My mother wasn't rational those last years; if she had been, she would have been horrified by her own behavior.

I had grown up accustomed to living a life of high drama.

Sinatra was just one of Mom's friends.
