Liza Minnelli
(1946 -     )
Biography from Baseline's Encyclopedia of Film

Born in Los Angeles, CA; educated at the Sorbonne, Paris, and Herbert Berghof Studio, New York. Vivacious, multi-talented performer who made her screen debut at the age of two-and-a-half in IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME (1949), starring her mother Judy Garland. Minnelli established herself as a charismatic, energetic singer, dancer and actress on the Broadway stage in the 1960s and won widespread acclaim for her role in the film, THE STERILE CUCKOO (1969). Although she emerged as a leading star in her own right with a sensational performace as Nazi-era chanteuse Sally Bowles in Bob Fosse's landmark CABARET (1972), her career as a whole has been erratic and hampered by a lack of suitable vehicles. She had a popular hit with the Dudley Moore comedy, ARTHUR (1981), and enjoyed enormous success as a concert performer throughout the 70s and 80s.

Performing primarily on television, her other notable screen credits include CHARLIE BUBBLES (1967), LUCKY LADY (1975), SILENT MOVIE (1976), THE KING OF COMEDY (1983), THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN (1984), ARTHUR 2: ON THE ROCKS (1988), STEPPING OUT (1991) and THE OH IN OHIO (2006).

She is the daughter of director Vincente Minnelli and has been married to singer Peter Allen, film executive Jack Haley, Jr., and sculptor Mark Gero.
