Liza Minnelli
Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is an American actress and singer.
Best known for her Academy Award-winning performance in "Cabaret" (1972), she is famous for her energetic stage presence and her powerful mezzo-soprano singing voice.
She is the daughter of Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli.
In 1972, she became the only Oscar recipient whose parents also won Oscar awards.
Seeking theatrical work, Minnelli moved to New York City in 1961, where she began her career as a musical theatre actress, nightclub performer and traditional pop music artist.
She made her professional stage debut in the 1963 Off-Broadway revival of "Best Foot Forward" and won a Tony Award for starring in "Flora the Red Menace" in 1965, which marked the start of her lifelong collaboration with John Kander and Fred Ebb.
They wrote, produced or directed many of Minnelli's future stage acts and TV shows and helped create her stage persona of a stylized survivor, including her career-defining performances of anthems of survival ("New York, New YorkCabaret" and "Maybe This Time").
Along with her roles on stage and screen, this persona and her style of performance added to Minnelli's status as an enduring gay icon.
Critically lauded for her early non-musical screen performances—especially "The Sterile Cuckoo" (1969)—Minnelli rose to international stardom, starring in "Cabaret" and the Emmy Award-winning TV special "Liza with a Z" (1972).
Most of her following films—including "Lucky Lady" (1975), "New York, New York" (1977),
"Rent-a-Cop" (1988) and "Stepping Out" (1991)—were panned by the critics and bombed at the box office, and she had no more major movie hits except "Arthur" (1981).
She returned to Broadway on a number of occasions, including "The Act" (1977), "The Rink" (1984) and
"Liza's at The Palace..." (2008), worked on various television formats and has predominantly focused on music hall and nightclub performances since the late 1970s.
Her concert performances at Carnegie Hall in 1979 and 1987, and at Radio City Music Hall in 1991 and 1992 are recognized among her most successful.
From 1988 to 1990, she toured with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. in "Frank, Liza & Sammy:
The Ultimate Event".
Best known for her renditions of pop standards, Minnelli's early 1960s pop singles were produced to attract a young audience, and her albums from 1968 to 1977 contained much of the contemporary singer-songwriter material.
In 1989, she ventured into the contemporary pop scene by collaborating with the Pet Shop Boys on the album "Results".
After a hiatus due to serious health problems, Minnelli returned to the concert stage in 2002 with "Liza's Back" and was an acclaimed guest star in the sitcom "Arrested Development" between 2003 and 2013.
Since the 2010s, she has avoided huge concert tours in favor of small retrospective performances.

" New York, New York( So Good They Named It Twice)" is a song performed and composed by singer- songwriter Gerard Kenny in 1978.
The song is an ode to his hometown and state New York, New York.
Kenny wrote the song about myth versus fact and explains that the city is overall a great place(" It was a really nice night for a good street fight or a robbery/ But I always knew in my home town that would never happen to me").
The line" So Good They Named It Twice" is a play on the fact the name of the city and state are both" New York".

It also received some airplay, and was included on Kenny's" Made It Through The Rain" album, and the song's popularity helped the collection reach the top 20 in the UK Albums Chart.
Shirley Bassey later covered the song, as part of her" New York Medley", along with" Theme from New York, New York".
