I was listening to an interview with Liza once and she mentioned how her Mother had such a big voice for someone 4ft 11. She could have just been exagerating her shortness for the story with the big voice/short statue

Bruce, what a sweet story!
Judy's always been an inspiration of mine, despite the tragidy that ended her life. It's kinda neat to know that she's the same height as me. :>

In June of 1967, I met Judy Garland in New York City. We had lunch one afternoon and in the following two weeks, we had dinner twice. The first time we were together, I actually was hiding her next to me and covering her with my jacket, to keep her out of public view. The next two times, I had hugged her and held her close to me. I am a fraction over six feet tall and can tell you, she appeared to be right around 5' to maybe 5' 1/2" tall. The first and second times we met, she was wearing high heels, which I am guessing were agout 3" high. The third time we met, she was wearing heels, but as the evening progressed, she took her shoes off. Based on how she stood next to me, and, the fact that in later years, my wife, who was about 5'3" stood next to me, my estimate of her height has to be accurate with 1/2". Up until the time we met, I had only see her in The Wizard Of Oz, and, A Star Is Born. I was never really a fan of hers. I was actually shocked that she was so small and petite. What I will tell you is that once she got to know you, she was a very lovely and friendly lady. Her life was a true tragedy ;-( When I met her, she had just turned 45 years old and I was 22. She remarked that I was only something like 3 months older than her daughter (Liza Minelli,) yet I could have fallen in love with that lady in a heartbeat.
