Behind the Scenes with Liza Minnelli

From: Episode 103: "Liza's Razzle Dazzle"
3 of 5
Jack and Oprah

On the day of the taping, Harpo staffers make sure everything in her greenroom is perfect. "Liza's people sent us her rider, which is her greenroom request list," Bridgette says. "Her greenroom needs to be set to a chilly 62 degrees. She wanted a star on her door, which I just think is fabulous. She's Liza Minnelli, hello!"
 
While prepping Liza for her interview with Oprah, Liza asks Bridgette to cut any questions related to her four marriages—especially her marriage to her fourth ex-husband, whom she wishes not to mention by name.

Jack must relay this request to Oprah as he preps her before the show. "I want to know what really had gone on in the relationship, so I thought that there were some interesting things to talk about," Oprah says. "I always feel like I can do that in a way that's not going to be exploiting her or exploiting him."
