Liza Minnelli

Liza Minnelli is the Oscar, Emmy and Tony-winning performer who is also the daughter of actress Judy Garland and film director Vincente Minnelli. Like her mother, Liza Minnelli became known as a song-and-dance trouper of stage and screen; she won a Tony award for 1965's Flora, the Red Menace and an Oscar for playing Sally Bowles in the 1972 film Cabaret. Her 1972 TV special Liza With a 'Z' (directed by Bob Fosse) won an Emmy. She also starred opposite Dudley Moore in the successful romantic comedy Arthur (1981). In the 1980s and 1990s Minnelli was especially known for her live revues, including shows with Frank Sinatra and his latter-day Rat Pack. In later years Liza Minnelli has struggled with her health, having a hip replaced in 1994 and suffering through well-publicized battles with alcohol and pills, but she has bounced back into the public eye just as often. Among her many comebacks was a triumphant 2008 Broadway run titled Liza's At the Palace. Her films include The Sterile Cuckoo (1969, directed by Alan Pakula) and New York, New York (1977, with Robert DeNiro). She also had a recurring role on the sitcom Arrested Development (2003-05).
