3. You Made Me Love You

Episode 3 of 5

How Susie Boyt's passion led to a schoolgirl infatuation. And what happened when she met Liza Minnelli. Read by Tamsin Greig.

Susie reflects on her heroes in childhood and on the other unshakeable passions of her life, including an embarrassing infatuation with a female teacher.

Then, when she finally meets Judy's daughter Liza, Susie wonders why neither of them feel they can mention her mother.

Susie Boyt's tribute to her screen idol Judy Garland is a touching account of a life-long passion.
