This star-studded tribute focuses on Liza Minnelli’s dazzling and challenging period in the 1970s, immediately following 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. Over the years, Lisa sought out prominent mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With insightful input from a circle of colleagues including Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, and the late Chita Rivera, along with candid participation from the star herself, the film illuminates Liza Minnelli’s contradictions: her privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unrealistic expectations and exalted talent are the frictions that drove her astonishing rise, her resilience, and her enduring place as one of the greatest and most original entertainers in entertainment history.
