EGOT winners (12)


(Born march 12- 1946 )
Born to singer and actress Judy Garland and Oscar winning movie director Vincente Minnelli, Liza began her life in the limelight, and had her first starring role at just 14 months old in the movie 'Good Old Summertime'.

From 1956 onwards, she began making guest appearances as a variety performer on TV series and specials. Minnelli went on to establish herself as a captivating and lively performer on stage in the early 1960s.

Con tres años, Liza Minnelli hizo su primera aparición en el cine, concretamente en la escena final del musical de 1949 In the Good Old Summertime, protagonizada por su madre y Van Johnson.
Minnelli es la única ganadora del Oscar cuyos padres también lo ganaron.


EMMY ('Liza with a 'Z,' 1973)
GRAMMY (Grammy Legend Award, 1990)
OSCAR (Best Actress, 'Cabaret,' 1972)
TONY (Best Leading Actress in a Musical, 'Flora the Red Menace,' 1965)


Sixty-six years old, and she doesn't look a day over...okay, well, she does look sixty. But she's a motherfuckin' diva, goddamnit, and I won't brook any bad talk about her. She's a survivor, baby. Didja hear me? A SURVIVOR. She made it through drugs, surgery, gay husbands, career decline, Bob Fosse, a bad hip, more drugs, and the movie Steppin' Out.
I just simply love her...she's the most magnetic stage presence of my lifetime, a show person who is the last of her kind. Mama would be proud !
