The latest "Mission Minnelli" that all Liza fans get help with:

Let's get Liza her KENNEDY CENTER HONOR!

Hey, LIZ SMITH thinks it's a great idea (see her column below)

All you have to do is send an E-MAIL to: Michael Kaiser. The Email address to use is: jfcass@kennedy-center.org

In the e-mail you can state why you feel Liza is deserving of the award -- Her great body of work spanning over 40 years that has given joy to so many people all over the world; her many other awards (the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards); and the great humanitarian efforts (such as all her work in the fight against AIDS).

Thanks, everyone!

Now here's what LIZ SMITH has to say on the subject:

Liz Smith -- NY POST -- Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

LIZA MINNELLI has rarely looked or seemed healthier these days. She's everywhere, like a fly on a griddle - concertizing, picking up awards, attending the theater - she adored the current "Jacques Brel" revival. At L.A.'s House of Blues last week, she attended the 14th annual American Society of Young Musicians event where the youngsters mobbed her. She's working on a movie script about nightclub life in N.Y.C. - something she used to know a lot about! - and will soon record a tribute album honoring her late godmother, author and dazzling performer Kay Thompson. (A lot of Thompson's dramatic style was picked up by Liza's mom, Judy Garland, who honed it to perfection.) Now, folks, isn't it time for Miss Minnelli to collect the ultimate American honor from the Kennedy Center? I say yes!
