Narrative
This star-studded tribute spotlights the dazzling, complex period in Liza Minnelli’s life, beginning in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother, Judy Garland – as she faced a range of personal and professional challenges on her path to becoming a bona fide legend. During those years, Liza sought out unlikely mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston and Bob Fosse. With insightful contributions from fellow stars such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, along with revealing contributions from the star herself, the film illuminates the contradictions of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unrealistic expectations and soaring talent – the friction that fueled her stunning rise, resilience and her enduring place as one of the greatest, most original performers in entertainment history.
