Plot
This star-studded tribute shines a light on the dazzling and complex period of Liza Minnelli’s life that began in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland, as she navigated a series of personal and professional challenges on her way to becoming a true legend. Over the years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston and Bob Fosse. With insightful input from a coterie of colleagues including Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, as well as revealing input from the star herself, the film illuminates the contradictions of Liza Minnelli: privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unrealistic expectations and immense talent—the frictions of which fueled her astonishing rise, resilience and enduring place as one of the greatest and most original performers in the history of entertainment.
