Chronology
This star-studded tribute focuses on the dazzling and complex phase of Liza Minnelli’s life, beginning in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother, Judy Garland, as she faced a series of personal and professional challenges on her path to becoming a bona fide legend. During these years, Lisa sought out unusual mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With insightful contributions from colleagues including Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, and the late Chita Rivera, as well as a revealing film about the star herself, the film illuminates Liza Minnelli’s contradictions: her privilege and struggles, her strength and vulnerability, her unrealistic expectations and her powerful talent—the friction of which contributed to her remarkable growth, resilience, and her enduring place as one of the greatest, most original performers in entertainment history.
