104 MinsBorn in a red sequined dress and belting out a tune, the one-and-only Liza Minnelli takes centre stage in this dazzling profile of an enduring gay icon and Hollywood survivor.
A rich tapestry of archival footage deftly charts Liza’s ups and downs, focusing on one blazing decade (the ‘70s) when she won a Tony, an Emmy and an Oscar. Interviews with loyal friends Mia Farrow, Michael Feinstein and Joel Grey highlight her talent, energy and sheer grit (and skewer an ex-husband or two). Featuring moving tributes to her legendary parents, as well as mentors including Kay Thompson, Bob Fosse and Halston, by the end you'll be full of admiration for the legendary Liza with a Z.
