"I was born — and immediately photographed," says Liza Minnelli as she recounts her childhood spent in the glare of flashbulbs and under the scrutiny of tabloids. It couldn't have been otherwise since she's the daughter of Hollywood elite: Oscar-winning director Vincent Minnelli and legendary Judy Garland. From an early age, media hounded Liza with uncomfortable questions while critics and audiences set unrealistically high expectations, constantly comparing her to her mother. "Can she dance and sing like Judy? Is she beautiful enough for the big stage? Can she even act?"
The documentary film "Liza Minnelli: An Incredible but True Story" reveals what happened next. At its core lies the vibrant yet contradictory period of Minnelli's life in the '70s. Bereft of her mother, Liza faces a series of trials that ultimately transform her into a living legend. From being a promising artist with a famous last name, she becomes a theater and cinema superstar who conquers the entire world. Her accolades include an Academy Award, Emmy, four Tony Awards, a Grammy, influence over fashion, art, pop culture, and undeniable status as a great diva — all this belongs to LIZA.
