The Fascinating Full Story of 1972’s Cabaret

Liza Minnelli Now

Cabaret would turn out to be Liza Minnelli’s best-known film appearance. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance, along with several other awards as well. She teamed up with Bob Fosse again for a TV special entitled Liza with a ‘Z,’ but then her on-screen career took a bit of a dive.

She appeared in a few flops and started to get a negative reputation but bounced back with 1981’s Arthur and a few other films. In her later career, she made guest appearances on TV shows and returned to Broadway in the late ’90s for Victor/Victoria. She is a famed philanthropist and still makes small cameo appearances from time to time.
