Clarke dismisses as fiction all of the previous books, both scholarly and dishy, that have been written about my mother.

Clarke, this ludicrous fantasy will forever "be taken as gospel and reprinted over and over again". This man has admitted that the story was totally made up. I have learned that one of the most outrageous, graphic, and unnecessary stories, which is completely unattributed in the book, was told to him by my mother's "friend" Tom Green. However, I was never in a school play of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown". My mother was my biggest fan, and attended many of the neighborhood productions I appeared in as a child. After reading about myself, I checked the back of the book to see if his interviews included The Amazing Kreskin. Whenever possible, she took us on tour with her, and, in any event, she called us every night. There was never a time when s5b4he was at home that I "didn't see her for days at a time". Yes, we had help in the house, but I had a mother. How dare he question how well a daughter knows her mother. I never called her a bitch, and I never "despised" her. The things he wrote about me are out and out lies. This book has merely added a few more fairy tales to the existing stories, legends, and half-truths about my mother. In ten years of research, if he wanted to talk to me, I can be found.

None of my representatives received any correspondence, and I open my own mail. My actions, feelings and emotions as a daughter were never shared with Mr. However, I must respond to the untruths he has written and said about me.

I have kept silent about my feelings on Gerald Clarke's book on my mother, Judy Garland. Lorna Luft's Letter To The Editor about Gerald Clarke's biography on Judy 'Get Happy.'
