Judy Garland starred in a variety show during the 1963-64 season that aired Sundays on CBS. On tonight's November 17 telecast one of her guests was her very own daughter, 17-year old Liza Minnelli. This was the first time they performed together professionally and they sang Together, Bob White and The Best is Yet to Come.
The telecast aired five days before the assassination of President Kennedy. A month later Liza also appeared on Judy's Christmas show (airdate: December 22) and performed a dance number with her "beau" (as Judy referred to him) Tracy. The following year, also in November, mother and daughter performed at the London Palladium.
Happily, a number of DVDs of Judy's show are available, including one titled Judy Garland: Duets, which includes some of the numbers she sang with Liza.
