Music legend and upcoming "Drop Dead Diva" guest star Liza Minnelli opens up about her late friend Michael Jackson, who she says did "more good than anybody will ever know."

"I had good luck," Liza says, comparing her life to the late King of Pop. "I had good friends. I had great parents, and I did not have people using me every second of my life. ... I did not have people looking at me as a commodity without somebody else there to say, 'Don't treat her like that.'"

Liza said of her friend Michael, "Think about it, that kid did more good for people than anybody will ever know, and all of his friends know it."
