American Masters

What Liza Minnelli was like in her relationships

Season 39 Episode 2 | 2m 53s

Friends described Liza Minnelli as going into her relationships with fervor and passion, even if they were only for a short period of time. “She throws herself into the relationship with the same passion that she throws herself into a song. But then just like in a song, you then go on to the next song.”
