The star-studded cast brings to life a fascinating and complex period that begins in the 1970s as she faces a series of personal and professional challenges following the tragic death of her mother, Judy Garland. The Way to Be a Legend is a true story. During these years, Lisa sought out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Asnauer, Halston, and Bob Fosse. The insightful contributions of Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, and the late Chita Rivera, as well as the star’s self-revealing participation in the film, illuminate the contrasts of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and struggle, her strength and vulnerability, her unrealistic expectations and her immense talent—and the friction that led to her astonishing rise, resilience, and enduring place as one of the greatest, most original performers in entertainment history.
