Liza Minnelli threw a tantrum in a New York Store after being mistaken for her dead mother, Judy Garland.

The 61-year old actress was approached by an employee who asked her, “Has anyone ever said you look like Judy Garland?”, a fellow shopper told the New York Daily News newspaper yesterday.

After firstly making a remark about the similarities which was coldly rejected by Minnelli, the confused employee asked her if she actually was the deceased ‘Wizard of Oz’ star.

This led Minnelli, who was obviously hurt, to leave the shop, throwing her ‘panties’ down and quoting: “I’ve got to get out of here!”

    It’s understandable that Liza would be very upset that some clod who obviously has very bad taste would ask her if she is indeed Judy Garland. Sorry jerk but even some one as famous as Judy doesn’t suddenly rise from the dead either. Asking Liza if anyone has ever told her she looks like Judy should be enough. If you had any familiarity of Liza, you would of known it was indeed she. I wish I could of ran in to her in a store. I would of been gracious with out looking like some idiot and hurting her feelings.
