Life is a cabaret, old chum… Certainly Liza Minnelli’s life fits the bill. The daughter of Judy Garland and director Vincent Minnelli, she was born into Hollywood royalty: Money, divorce, addiction, breakdown, ego… these were here birthrights, along with oodles of talent and the mentors to guide her. She’s won Oscars, Tonys, Emmys and Grammys, worked her way through four husbands and multiple love affairs, done her share of drinking, but comes across here as more of a mensch than a diva.
