LIZA: A TRULY TERRIFIC ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY

This star studded tribute brings into focus the dazzling, complex period of Liza Minnelli’s

life starting in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland— as she

confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a

bona fide legend.

Over these years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay

Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With insightful

participation from a coterie of colleagues such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben

Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, along with the revelatory participation by

the star herself, the film illuminates the contradiction of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and

struggle, strength and vulnerability, unreal expectations and towering talent – the friction

of which fueled her stunning rise, resilience and her enduring place as one of the

greatest, most original performers in the history of entertainment.
