Liza Minnelli At The BBC

Sounds of the 70s with Bob Harris

Available for 25 days

As Liza Minnelli celebrates her 80th birthday we look back at her incredible life and career, which began on screen at the age of four and included performing at the London Palladium with her mother Judy Garland, auditioning for her film producer father on their Beverly Hills front lawn, touring with Sinatra and the Rat Pack, winning an Oscar for Cabaret and recording with the Pet Shop Boys. We also hear archive recordings of her short engagement to Peter Sellers, while he was still married, encounters with Elvis and Charles Aznavour, loving living in London, being the original Nepo baby and learning to tap dance with Julie Walters and Shelley Winters on Stepping Out. Presenters featured include Terry Wogan, Jools Holland, Graham Norton, Barry Norman, Adrian Chiles, Christine Bleakley, Bob Wellings and Denis Norden.
