The 79-year-old icon received the show's third annual Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award before the season 17 winner was crowned.

The Wizard of Oz star never wrote her own story—but memoirs by her third husband and her second daughter, as well as one definitive biography, paint a full picture of the complicated icon.

As Broadway welcomes the ever-evolving musical, its star, Eddie Redmayne—along with Liza Minnelli, Joel Grey, and Sam Mendes—assess its enduring power.

According to Minnelli’s longtime collaborator Michael Feinstein, the legend was “forced” to use a wheelchair minutes before she took the stage with Lady Gaga.

Family reps for the Gucci and Versace clans have also criticized biopics about their famous relatives.

“I do not approve nor sanction the upcoming film about Judy Garland in any way,” the star wrote on her official Facebook page—despite earlier reports that she was on board with the project.

Liza Minnelli’s life has been a heartbreakingly close replica of her mother’s tragic spiral: the drugs, the weight problems, the health scares, the doomed love affairs. A year ago, Judy Garland’s daughter seemed headed for the bottom, but this March 16, after a six-month courtship, Minnelli will be marrying her new manager, producer David Gest (with Elizabeth Taylor as maid of honor and Michael Jackson giving the bride away), then launching her first European tour in five years. Is Gest, with his knack for organizing multi-performer extravaganzas, the right man for this one extravagant star? Jonathan Van Meter wonders.
