Story
This star-studded tribute focuses on the dazzling, complex period in Liza Minnelli’s life in the 1970s, immediately following the tragic death of her mother, Judy Garland – as she faced a series of personal and professional challenges on her way to becoming a bona fide legend. Over the years, Liza sought out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston and Bob Fosse. With insightful contributions from colleagues such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera – as well as revealing contributions from the star herself, the film illuminates Liza Minnelli’s contradictions: privilege and struggle, power and vulnerability, unrealistic expectations and soaring talent – the friction that fueled her astonishing rise, resilience and enduring place as one of the greatest, most original performers in entertainment history.
