Early life

Minnelli was born in Hollywood, California, into a well-known artistic family; her maternal lineage had entertainers in the family going back six generations.¹ Her famous mother, Judy Garland, had legendary success in film and in music, and her aunts and mother had been part of a singing group, "The Gumm Sisters". Her father, also from a theatrical family including circus performers, was acclaimed MGM film director Vincente Minnelli. Her godparents were Ira Gershwin and Kay Thompson.

Minnelli's first film appearance was at the age of three in the final scene of the 1949 musical In the Good Old Summertime, starring her mother and Van Johnson.

Although Minnelli and her mother shared a warm personal relationship, during the London Palladium performances Garland recognized Minnelli's talent and felt a sense of competition. Minnelli recalled a time where she was singing on stage: "I was onstage with my mother, but suddenly, she wasn't Mama ... she was Judy Garland."¹

Minnelli's half-siblings through her mother and husband Sid Luft are sister Lorna Luft and brother Joey Luft. She also has a half-sibling Christiane Nina Minnelli (nicknamed Tina Nina) through her father's second marriage.²

Minnelli was childhood friends with Mia Farrow, Cheryl Crane, Candice Bergen, Tisha Sterling, Natalie Cole, and Katy Manning. As a teenager, she babysat the child Ron Howard.

Career

Theatre

Minnelli began performing professionally at age 17, in 1963, in an Off-Broadway revival of the musical Best Foot Forward, for which she received good notices, and her first award -- The Theatre World Award. The next year, her mother invited Minnelli to perform with her at the London Palladium. The audience loved her, launching her future concert career. She returned to Broadway at 19, and in 1965 she became the youngest person ever to win a leading actress Tony Award for Flora the Red Menace.

Music

Minnelli began as a nightclub singer while in her teens and made her professional nightclub debut at the age of 19 at Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D. C.. Later, she appeared in other clubs and on stage in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and New York City. Her success as a live performer brought her a chance to record several albums at Capitol Records: Liza! Liza! (1964), It Amazes Me (1965) and There Is a Time (1966). In her early years, she recorded traditional pop standards as well as show tunes from different musicals within she also has starred from time to time. Because of this fact, William Ruhlmann named her "Barbra Streisand's little sister". ³

From 1968 up to the 1970s, she also recorded more contemporary material according to classic pop songs with her albums Liza Minnelli (1968), Come Saturday Morning and New Feelin' (both 1970) from A&M Records and The Singer (1973), which seemed like a compilation of soft rock material, as well as the disco-styled Tropical Nights (1977) from Columbia Records. Her music career was more influenced by successful live performances with international concert tours than commercial success as a recording artist. Today, she is still better known for her contributions to the Great American Songbook than for her interpretations of contemporary pop songs.

Film

Her first appearance on film is as the baby in the very last shot of her mother Judy Garland's film, In the Good Old Summertime (1949).

Her first credited film role was as the love-interest in Albert Finney's only film as director and star, Charlie Bubbles (1967).

In 1969 she appeared in Alan J. Pakula's first feature film, The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), as Pookie Adams, a needy, eccentric teenager. Her performance won her her first Academy Award nomination. She played another eccentric character the following year in Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon, directed by Otto Preminger.

In 1972, Minnelli appeared in perhaps her best-known film role, as Sally Bowles in the movie version of Cabaret. She said that one of the things she did to prepare was to study photographs of classic actresses Louise Glaum and Louise Brooks and the dark-haired ladies of that time.⁴ Minnelli won the Best Actress Academy Award for her performance, along with a Golden Globe Award. She was the first person to ever grace the covers of Time and Newsweek magazines simultaneously.

Hot off the success of the movie, Bob Fosse and Minnelli teamed up for what was to become a groundbreaking show in several departments. Liza with a 'Z', a filmed concert later aired only two times on TV until the recovery from the vaults and first public release on DVD in 2006. In the concert, filmed in one non-stop performance, Minnelli danced and sang in several daring and censor-challenging costumes designed by famed costume designer Halston. Several awards were the reward for what is regarded by both critics and public as a piece of show business history.

Following a string of less successful feature movies and ventures into television, she finally got the chance to work with her father, director Vincente Minnelli, in the 1976 fantasy-musical A Matter of Time, co-starring Ingrid Bergman. After severe editing and cutting, done by the studio, with no input from Vincente Minnelli, the film was neither a commercial nor a critical success.

Her appearance opposite Robert De Niro in the 1977 film, New York, New York however, gave Minnelli her best known signature song. Frank Sinatra released a successful cover version (for his Trilogy: Past Present Future album) two years later and used it as his signature song as well, sometimes even dueting with Liza live on stage.

After her performance as leading lady to Dudley Moore in 1981's hit film Arthur, Minnelli made fewer film appearances although she returned to the big screen in 1991 for "Stepping Out", a feel-good musical comedy.

Later career

Minnelli's career has been known to be filled with highs and lows.^{citation needed} In the beginnings, however, she recorded several studio albums for A&M and Capitol Records. The Capitol albums "Liza! Liza!", "It Amazes Me", and "There Is A Time" have recently been reissued on a two-CD compilation, for the first time in their entirety. In 1989 Minnelli collaborated with the Pet Shop Boys on "Results", an electronic dance-style album. The release hit the top 10 in the UK and also charted in the US, spawning four singles ("Don't Drop Bombs", "Losing My Mind", "Love Pains", and "So Sorry, I Said"). This also gave her a chance to film promotional videos for the songs and resulted in a long-overdue comeback in the music business. Initially released on a VHS tape titled "Visible Results", the clips were later issued on a bonus DVD included in the 2005 remastered and expanded edition of the album. Later that year she performed "Losing My Mind" live at the Grammys ceremony before receiving a Grammy Legend Award, making her one of only 12 other entertainers, in a list that includes Whoopi Goldberg, Barbra Streisand, and Mel Brooks among others, to win an Emmy, Grammy, Tony, and Academy Award, even though she is sometimes discounted since her Grammy was a special award and was not won in a competitive category.

She returned to Broadway in 1997, taking over the title role in the musical Victor/Victoria, replacing Julie Andrews. In his review, New York Times critic Ben Brantley commented, "her every stage appearance is perceived as a victory of show-business stamina over psychic frailty... She asks for love so nakedly and earnestly, it seems downright vicious not to respond."

After a serious case of viral encephalitis in 2000, doctors predicted that she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. However, she refused to accept this and with the help of dance lessons, which she still takes daily, managed to recover and returned to the stage "Liza's Back" in 2002 performing to rave reviews in London and New York City. After this success, the world was again aware of Minnelli's entertainment capabilities and thus she continued to tour globally.

In 2004 and 2005 she appeared as a recurring character on the critically acclaimed TV sitcom Arrested Development as Lucille Austero, the lover of both the sexually and socially awkward Buster Bluth and Buster's brother GOB.

In September 2006, she made a guest appearance on the long-running NBC drama Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Masquerade, the Halloween-themed episode, broadcast on Tuesday, October 31, 2006.⁵ She also completed guest vocals on My Chemical Romance's 2006 concept album The Black Parade, portraying "Mother War", a dark conception of the main character's mother, in the song "Mama".

Her latest project is the imminent release of a collection of songs that her godmother Kay Thompson originated. In 2007 she added the songs to her latest tour to introduce them to audiences.

Minnelli returned to Broadway in a new solo concert at the Palace Theatre called Liza's at the Palace...! which ran from December 3, 2008, through January 4, 2009.⁶⁷ In her second act she performed a series of numbers created by Kay Thompson.⁸ The reviews noted that while her voice was ragged at times, and her movements no longer elastic, the old magic was still very much present—from first to last, Liza had audiences cheering and applauding and begging for more.

On January 10, 2009, Minnelli made a rare live TV appearance in a surprise cameo on NBC's Saturday Night Live, playing the best friend of Penelope (Kristin Wiig). On January 26, 2009, she made an appearance on The View, singing "I Would Never Leave You" from her new CD Liza's at the Palace...!. She was also interviewed by the cast of The View.

She was portrayed in the Australian musical The Boy From Oz starring Hugh Jackman. On Broadway, she was portrayed by star Stephanie J. Block. The show received four Tony nominations.

Marriages

Minnelli has been married (and divorced) four times. Her first marriage was to Peter Allen (full name Peter Allen Woolnough) on March 3, 1967. Australian-born Allen was Judy Garland's protégé in the mid-1960s.⁹ The couple divorced on July 24, 1974. Later that year, she married Jack Haley Jr., a producer and director, on September 15, 1974. His father, Jack Haley, was Garland's co-star in The Wizard of Oz. They divorced in 1979.

Minelli was married to Mark Gero, a sculptor and stage manager, from December 4, 1979 until 1992. She was married to David Gest, a concert promoter, from March 16, 2002, until July 25, 2003.

Minnelli has no children; one pregnancy left her with a hiatal hernia as a result of the medical steps taken to try to save the baby.²

Signature song

She has made many notable public performances of her signature song, "New York, New York":

• At the 1978 Studio 54 party honoring New York City's revival, at which a guest was Mayor Ed Koch;
• The reopening of the Statue of Liberty on July 4, 1986 (this performance of "New York, New York" is generally felt to be among the strongest of her career);
• As a duet with Luciano Pavarotti at the 1996 "Pavarotti & Friends" concert in Modena, Italy;
• At a 2001 New York Mets baseball game that was the metro area's first major sporting event after the September 11 attacks;
• At the age of 60, for the "Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular" televised live, and nationally on NBC on July 4, 2006, she performed the song and received an ovation.
• In February 2008, weeks before turning 62, she performed the song at a televised celebration of Bruce Forsyth's 80th birthday celebration on BBC.
• In June 2008, at the "Opening Night" at the Hollywood Bowl where she was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame.
• On October 2, 2008, at Trevi Fountain in Rome to promote her next tour of Italy.

Image

Minnelli's work in Cabaret molded her popular image; the black helmet of hair, huge eyes and extravagant eyelashes have remained her visual trademarks. The perception among many is that she embodies the same characteristics she portrayed as Sally Bowles, that is, a combination of fragility, determination, detachment from reality and hunger for affection. During the 1980s, she softened her image and has kept it ever since. Recently, she has suffered health problems, including having had both hips replaced and other surgeries. Despite this, she stated she will keep on doing what she does best as long as her body allows. In an interview session filmed for Inside the Actor's Studio in which she provided insight into her career and style, she stated she will continue to be herself.^{citation needed}

Philanthropy

Minnelli has, throughout her lifetime, served various charities and causes which she considers very important. She served on the board of directors of the The Institutes for The Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP) for 20 years, a nonprofit educational organization that introduces parents to the field of child brain development. She also dedicated much time to amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research. In 1994 she recorded the Kander & Ebb tune "The Day After That" and donated the proceeds to AIDS research. The same year she performed the song in front of thousands in Central Park at the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. Minnelli claimed that amfAR was especially important because she had lost so many friends to AIDS.¹⁰

Other appearances

Minnelli also appears on "The Black Parade" CD by My Chemical Romance. During the song "Mama" she is the woman who sings "and if you would call me your sweetheart, I'd maybe then sing you a song".
