Liza Minnelli

Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is an accomplished American actress, singer and dancer. She is renowned for her commanding stage presence and powerful alto singing voice. Notably, she has received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and four Tony Awards. Additionally, she is one of the few performers awarded a non-competitive EGOT having received two honorary Grammy Awards. Minnelli is also a Knight of the French Legion of Honour. Her persona and style have established her as a well-regarded gay icon.

Minnelli, daughter of actress and singer Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli, began her career in New York City in 1961 as a musical theatre actress, nightclub performer, and traditional pop recording artist. Throughout her illustrious career, she collaborated with greats like John Kander and Fred Ebb, and won Tony Awards for roles in Broadway musicals 'Flora the Red Menace' (1965) and 'The Act' (1978). Her breakthrough performance in film came with 'The Sterile Cuckoo' (1969), but she gained international prominence with 'Cabaret' (1972). She has led a career resurgence with recurring roles on Arrested Development (2003–2013). Despite serious health problems in her later years, she defied expectations by continuing to perform, albeit in smaller retrospective productions. Her life was profiled in the 2024 documentary, 'Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story'.
