And she knows absolutely everyone. When she married music producer David Gest
in London in 2002 (more of him in a moment), she was attended by Michael
Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and — bizarrely — Martine McCutcheon. Sadly, the
first two are now dead. ‘But there’s not a day,’ she says, ‘when I don’t
think of Michael.’
她02年嫁給David Gest時的賓客有MJ和伊莉莎白泰勒 而這兩人都已過世 她說沒有一天
我不想到麥可
She refuses to be drawn on the upcoming trial for involuntary manslaughter of
Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray. But she’s happy to recollect the Michael
she knew.
她拒絕談論到Murray的案子 但很樂意談論她所認識的麥可
‘He was a supremely gifted human being but he didn’t survive, in my
opinion, because he’d never been taught the rules of the game,’ says Liza.
‘He and his brothers and sisters were forced to rehearse round the clock
while other kids were playing basketball.
他是最有天賦的人 但他沒能活下去 在我的看法 他從沒有真的被教好怎麼完這個遊戲
他和他的兄弟姊妹是被逼著去採排 而其他的孩子在同年齡是在玩籃球
‘Michael’s life was precisely the one dictated by his father. The family’s
religion [the parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses] means the children weren’t
even meant to be in show business. But, when they started making money for
their father, that was it. Michael was used and abused almost from the time
he was born.
麥可的人生完全被他老爸給操弄 而他家的信仰(耶和華見證人)他家的孩子本不該去走
娛樂圈的 但當他們開始可以為老爸賺錢時 就這樣了 麥可從他一出生就被利用和虐待
‘Eventually, he distanced himself from his family, created this wonderful
place — Neverland — for kids and supported different families. Then, one
day, the father in one of those families called up Michael and said, “Unless
you give me $30,000, I’m going to tell everyone you made a pass at my son.”
And that’s when Michael called me.
最後 他遠離他的家人 打造了完美的世界夢幻莊園 給孩子們和很多家人 然後有一天
有個家庭的父親就打給麥可說 如果你不給我三萬塊 我就要告訴所有人 你騷擾我兒子
那時候麥可打了電話給我
‘When he’d finished his story, I remember pausing and then saying: “
Michael, maybe you should tell your lawyer about this.” He said: “But it’s
insane.” So I repeated my advice. “It’s blackmail, though,” he said. “It
is,” I replied, “and that’s why you need to involve your lawyer.” But he
wouldn’t.
當他跟我講完這件事 我記得我停了一下說 麥可你應該打電話給你的律師 他說 但是這
太瘋狂了 我重複跟他講了一次 他說但這是黑函勒索 我回答 沒錯所以你應該打給你的
律師 但他不願意這樣做
‘What everyone forgets is that, when kids stayed at Neverland, their parents
came, too. And they were treated grandly. But then other people jumped on the
bandwagon.’
很多人忘記 不只孩子們在夢幻中原 他們的家長也在 而且他們被盛情招待 但就有人利用
She sighs. ‘I remember he was going with this girl and he was so in love
with her. He came to show me the ring he’d bought for her. I asked him what
he was going to say and he didn’t know. So I said: “Let’s rehearse,” and
that’s what we did.
我記得他很愛一個女孩子跟她出去約會 他來給我看了他買給她的戒指 我問他你知道你
接下來要怎麼說嗎 他不知道 所以我說 讓我們來排演一下吧 我們排演了一番
‘But the girl turned him down. She said she wasn’t ready to commit right
now. She told him to ask again in six months. And it all but killed him. He
was heartbroken. I knew all his girlfriends including Lisa Marie who became
his wife.’
但那個女生拒絕了他 (布魯克雪德斯?) 她說她還沒準備好結婚 要他半年後再問
他傷透了心 我認識他所有的女朋友 包括LMP
Liza thinks she knows what killed her friend. ‘In the end, the scorn, the
cruelty, the vicious meanness — these are the things that took his life. He
was one of the best performers we’ve ever had. He changed everything. But he
was only a king when he was on stage.’
她說她知道是甚麼殺了她的朋友 到最後那些鄙視 嚴酷 卑鄙的這些事情殺了他
他是我們有過最好的演出者 他改變了所有事情 但只有在舞台上 他才是國王

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope.
In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort.
In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream.
In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
