CHARACTER BIO

Tough is often the first word used to describe Liza. Despite a WASPy, priveleged upbringing, her absentee father and mother's constant affairs (including one with Liza's high school boyfriend, Tad) gave Liza a thick skin - and a sense of ruthlessness in achieving what she wants (blackmail and lying about rape charges are just the tip of the iceberg). Lest you think she's a total terror, underneath all the shady dealings and lies is a woman that's extremely vulnerable.
