Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story at Cultural Center
Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story
This star studded tribute brings into focus the dazzling, complex period of Liza Minnelli’s
life starting in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland— as she
confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a
bona fide legend. Over these years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay
Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With insightful
participation from a coterie of colleagues such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben
Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, along with the revelatory participation by
the star herself, the film illuminates the contradiction of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and
struggle, strength and vulnerability, unreal expectations and towering talent – the friction
of which fueled her stunning rise, resilience and her enduring place as one of the
greatest, most original performers in the history of entertainment.
