Funny that Liza died unable to pronounce the Z. She could only make lateral lisping sibilant sounds. Yes. Very much like an ESS. Lisa with and esh. Now it can be told. Her so called encephalitis was a massive stroke. She would have more. But less spectacular. Liza is fondly remembered by the mattresses in the basement of Studio 54 AND in the balcony!

Liza was a most unique talent. Probably the greatest actress in song. Bernadette ain't bad either - but Liza was far more daring.

Fosse knew exactly how to present her. Even her own father did not do as well. No one every presented her as well as Fosse did.
For a while, there were none better than Liza. No one came close. Midler did music and comedy. Streisand did glorious singing. And then there was Liza, a classic MGM-style triple threat.

Liza cancelled an interview with Ruby Wax after she flew an entire crew to Nashville… then years later tried to make up for it with some lame duet with a nobody in a hotel room.
The end was in sight.

Liza's career in the 70s was greatly enhanced by both Fosse and Halston. You have to wonder where she'd have ended up without the influence those two men had on her image. Sure, she had a lot of raw talent, but timing and presentation are everything. She found exactly the right influencers at exactly the right moment.

Yes… but she’d been Oscar nominated in a dramatic role before them. I can see her as just continuing as an actress in the 70s, without all the razzmatazz.
She wouldn’t have been as wealthy, but maybe it could have worked.

She is one of the few live performers who I have seen bring the audience into the palm of her hand. She, like Pavarotti, Domingo, and Nathan Lane, have a pact with the live audience: come to see me, watch me astound you, and then go wild in appreciation. It was marvelous to see.

Liza was an actual triple threat unlike that Bronx cum bucket that has to TELL every reporter she’s multi talented. Liza didn’t say it she SANG IT bitch! JHoe needs to take a seat and watch how it’s done. Liza=Legend. I’ve seen her at her best and her “worst” and she still wipes the floor with a rican low life who can’t hold a note even with auto tune.

It's just as well that Liza didn't have kids, or the tragedy would have extended into the next generation. Lorna is a minor talent but seems to be a decent mom.

I say this with complete seriousness: Liza with a Z is a masterpiece, and one of greatest American artworks of the last century.
Both director and star were at the peak of their powers. A concert containing American standards, Broadway choreography, devised especially to be filmed for television. Almost 50 years later, it feels like in 1972 this was the peak of American modernity.

Saw her in concert and on broadway many times. There’s no one else like her and I fear there never will be again. I may get MARY’d for this but she was electrifying. A star.
