Daughter of Hollywood royalty—Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli—Liza grew up under the scrutiny of the press and the public. Does she have the charisma to become a star in her own right?

Some callings seem to be written in the stars from birth. Liza Minnelli was destined for film, music—for show business in capital letters. In her early twenties, she lost her mother. During that pivotal decade—the 1970s—she surrounded herself with mentors and professionals who helped her find her style: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, Bob Fosse… That was the beginning of her conquest of the big screen (Cabaret, Arthur, New York, New York), Broadway shows, legendary concerts, awards, and the status of an icon. A documentary that is celebratory, effervescent, and untamed.
