About Liza Minnelli

Liza Minnelli is the daughter of Judy Garland and movie director Vincente Minnelli. As a baby, she appeared in the movie In the Good Old Summertime directed by her father and starring her mother. Her parents divorced when she was five, and she was shuttled between her father's Hollywood home and her world-travelling mother. She performed occasionally throughout her childhood. By her teens, Minnelli had decided on a career in entertainment, and successfully enrolled in New York High School for the Performing Arts, though she did not stay long. After briefly attending Paris' Sorbonne, she left formal education to pursue an acting career in New York. At the age in 17, she made her professional debut in the off-Broadway 1963 production of Best Foot Forward. A cast album from Cadence Records provided her recording debut.

Minnelli and her mother sang on two episodes of The Judy Garland Show later that year. In 1964, Minnelli toured with the musicals The Fantasticks and Carnival! Through Capitol, she issued her debut album Liza! Liza! that September. It charted, but its follow-ups It Amazes Me and There is a Time did not. A co-billing at the London Palladium with her mother was recorded for the Top 100 album Live at the London Palladium.

Minnelli first starred on Broadway at the age of 19 in Flora, the Red Menace in 1965. Despite its short 87-show run, it made her the youngest woman to win a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical. Its cast album made the charts, and she formed a lasting connection with the show's lyricist Fred Ebb and composer John Kander, who then wrote for her frequently. She made her nightclub debut in 1965 in Washington, D.C.'s Shoreham Hotel. She then toured in Las Vegas, Miami, and Los Angeles. Her live works would be a constant for the rest of her career. She starred in The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood, a TV musical, in 1966.

Minnelli sang on prestigious stages such as the Plaza Hotel's Persian Room in New York and Talk of the Town in London in 1966. She married musician Peter Allen the following year, and they divorced in 1974. She would also marry producer Jack Haley, Jr., stage manager Mark Gero, and concert promoter David Gest. She acted on screen in the 1968 film Charlie Bubbles, and starred in 1969's The Sterile Cuckoo, earning an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. She released the albums Liza Minnelli, Come Saturday Morning, New Feelin', and Live at the Olympia in Paris, with only New Feelin' making the charts.

Minnelli worked steadily through the early '70s, but made her real breakthrough with her starring role in the 1972 film Cabaret, directed by Bob Fosse. The soundtrack album went gold, and Minnelli won Best Actress at the Oscars. Her TV special Liza with a Z was broadcast that September and won an Emmy for Outstanding Variety/Music Program. The soundtrack album went gold. Her contemporary song set, Liza Minnelli, the Singer, was released in 1973 and made the Top 40.

Minnelli's 1974 three-week stint at Broadway's Winter Garden was documented for a live album, which won her a special Tony award. In 1975, she appeared in the films Lucky Lady (1975) and A Matter of Time (1975) with little acclaim. Her performance of All That Jazz in the musical Chicago was released as a single through Columbia.

She and Robert DeNiro co-starred in the 1977 Scorsese movie New York, New York. Its title song remained a standard for Minnelli. She released the disco album Tropical Nights and worked under Scorsese's direction for Broadway's The Act in 1977, which earned her another Tony.

She then re-focused on concert work, selling out 11 nights straight at Carnegie Hall in 1979. She appeared in the 1981 comedy flick Arthur, and co-starred in Broadway's The Rink with Chita Rivera in 1984. She left the show after 204 performances to combat drug abuse in the Betty Ford Clinic, and was touring again by 1985. She won a Golden Globe her for 1985 appearance in the TV film A Time to Live.

A record-breaking three-week engagement at Carnegie Hall in 1987 was documented for her charting album Liza Minnelli at Carnegie Hall. She appeared in the movies Arthur 2 and Rent-a-Cop in 1988, and starred in the TV film Sam Found Out: A Triple Play. Her collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys for Losing My Mind was a U.K. Top Ten hit, and made the U.S. dance charts along with the B-side Love Pains. Her album Results arrived that September and charted in both countries as well. She appeared in the 1991 film Stepping Out.

The video concert album Live from Radio City Music Hall arrived in 1992. In 1994, she underwent hip replacement surgery and was touring the following year. 1996's Gently was a set of pop standards, earning a Grammy nomination. In 1999, she launched the show Minnelli on Minnelli at New York's Palace Theater. It was documented in a 2000 live album, but the supporting tour was cut short when she caught double pneumonia.

That October, her life was threatened by encephalitis. She recovered the following year and had a second hip replacement, and in 2002 was back to touring. Liza's Back was released that fall.
