Cover Story: Liza Minnelli isn’t just a Hollywood icon — she’s a showbiz superstar. She has won 4 Tonys, 2 Grammys, an Emmy and an Oscar. But even before she danced her first step, sang a single note or memorized a line of script, she was famous

, including one for Minnelli’s work as American expat Sally Bowles in 1930s Berlin during the rise of Nazism.

Shooting “Cabaret” wasn’t easy. They filmed in and around Berlin and Munich. Fosse was a perfectionist, always wanting another take. “We would go to set every morning, and she’d sleep on my shoulder, and we’d listen to [Cat Stevens’] ‘Morning Has Broken,’” Grey says. “It was long days shooting, and it was very intense. The material was intense.”

Actor Tanya Everett was playing Chava in “Fiddler on the Roof” when Minnelli visited the cast backstage in 1964. “She looked at me and said, ‘Can we be roommates?’” Everett says. “We became roommates that night.” Everett recalls one night when there was a knock on the door: Tony Bennett had stopped by unannounced. He sat down at the piano that Minnelli’s dad had given her. “He said, ‘Can I play?’” Everett says.

Minnelli’s last steady gig was a recurring role in “Arrested Development” from 2003 to 2005 and then again in the Netflix series reboot in 2013. She boasts that she performed her own stunts on the show. “I did all the pratfalls and falling on my fanny,” she says. “I knew all the stuntmen in Hollywood from when I was little and played on the MGM lot, so I figured out how to make it work.”

Lost all respect for her when she disrespected Lady Gaga being in A Star is Born. Which she probably never saw either.

I understand her. It’s weird watching her mother’s life and death became a fun Oscar opportunity for someone. Maybe Renee will regale us with more thanks to her “homeboys” tonight, like she did the last 3 award shows.

No surprise - she also avoided seeing 'The Boy From Oz' on Broadway (starring RealHughJackman) for similar reasons, including the fact that the title character was her late first husband, Peter Allen.

Great interview. A true legend

I don't know why her peers can't just be nice to her. Remember how no one thot she'd have anyone at hello when she got her dimples removed.

Liza in the bubble...

? So what did she give for this bit of quizzical PR?

Be it a constant reminder of her father’s pride!

Legendary.

I can't blame her. If that were my mom I don't know that I could either.

She is a treasure 💖

Yes ok, Photoshop much?
