Liza Minnelli

Daughter of Hollywood legend Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli's childhood was the prelude to a continuing battle to escape from her mother's shadow. Only with the tragic death of Garland at 47 did she fully begin to be recognized as a legitimate talent in her own right. She became, at 19, the youngest perforer to win Broadway's Tony Award - then gained critical acclaim in her adult film debut in "Charlie Bubbles". She scaled the greatest of heights in the successful "Cabaret", for which she won the Best Actress Oscar. This biography documents her professional life and outstanding talent, but provides a unique focus to this performer.
