Liza Minnelli is a household name and is in the hearts of many Americans; performers and others. Her story is a simple yet complex series of wonderful events. In this performance she speaks candidly about her mother Judy Garland. Talking about the things that made her a wonderful mother and why living in her shadow, though difficult shoes to fill, where also the most amazing fit. From her success as an actress to her untimely death and the toll that death took on her. She shares with the audience how important they are to her success and all of the things that her mother taught her about being a star and being a woman. With her quick wit and fun energy we see Liza through the eyes of a simple woman who, like many other women before her, just wanted to be herself. In the midst of the loss of her mother she begins to take prescription drugs as a way to balance life. She speaks of the hard reality of her choices, good ad bad. It is a clip from a film, a moment in time, a brief look into the life of Liza Minnelli and all of the things that make us love her as a performer, but on this day we love her as a person as well.
