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