Liza Minnelli At The BBC
In celebration of her 80th birthday the iconic singer and Oscar winning actress talks about her family, famous friends and colleagues, good and bad fortune and incredible career.
As Liza Minnelli celebrates her 80th birthday we look back at her incredible life and career, which began on screen at the age of four and included performing at the London Palladium with her mother Judy Garland, auditioning for her film producer father on their Beverly Hills front lawn, touring with Sinatra and the Rat Pack, winning an Oscar for Cabaret and recording with the Pet Shop Boys. We also hear archive recordings of her short engagement to Peter Sellers, while he was still married, encounters with Elvis and Charles Aznavour, loving living in London, being the original Nepo baby and learning to tap dance with Julie Walters and Shelley Winters on Stepping Out.
Presenters featured include Terry Wogan, Jools Holland, Graham Norton, Barry Norman, Adrian Chiles, Christine Bleakley, Bob Wellings and Denis Norden.
