- Gay icon and legendary star of stage and screen, Liza Minnelli, sits down with her friend, the actor and playwright, Charles Busch for a conversation about her career and life as a darling of the gay community.
This is how you learn. By watching. The life of an artist....thanks, Miss Liza and Mr. Busch.
great interview..Liza is so intelligent...and above that kind and wonderful,,,thank you
Wonderful and insightful interview. I love Liza. I wouldn't have 'partially excluded' Cher from the 'table'. She had also given much to the entertainment arena. Judy? No question. Liza? Also, no question. thank you for posting.
Oh my God. She looks and sounds so much like her mother here.
I love her talking about respecting peoples privacy- it’s a view everyone should have had from the start, but so few people ever have. So much misery has been caused over the years to various celebrities because people feel entitled to know about their private lives.
Liza Minnelli speaks with wisdom and classiness akin to Elizabeth Taylor when she mentions respect-ing gay people and caring for AIDS victimes. Thank you, Liza. Love, Tyler Lord Hamilton
Being one myself, I appreciate Liza's outlook on gay men; how she never looked at us "differently", but just as people. BTW, now I have to go find "Die, Mommie, Die" and "Psycho Beach Party".
Charles is an excellent interviewer - he knows exactly what to ask and when to ask it . I think that's class.
It takes a Charles Bush who grew up withLiza to really know what Liza has contributed to the world, her humanity, and the realization that one’s privacy is just that. Who has the right to judge someone for whom they love and spend their private time with, whom they are intimate with. Halston and many of her friends died from a disease that was transmitted in a way that targeted gay men, IV drug abusers, straight couples who engage in a certain kind of sex. They died from this while Reagan said nothing. She was one of the first along with Elizabeth Taylor to raise awareness and money to help fight this awful disease . Together we can help all of us. Liza sees each person with the right to privacy - something that was often denied to her and especially her mother.
Charles Busch is a wonderful interviewer! See Patty McCormack (BAD SEED) DVD with him. Loved it!
Liza looks so beautiful. I adore her.
Kander and Ebb look like twins! She looks so like her mother... Mr. Busch looks better with a beard...
intuitive
great
When he referred to Cher "at the table," I think he was placing her in the talent "line." Cher is good, but she's no Garland or Streisand or Liza.
Why do we as queer folks even need "gay icons" anymore? Surely that has had its use by date in 2019? I think identity politics was important at a time when gays related to female stars who had queer strategies of style in order to self-promote. It made them lots of money, that's for sure! Gay men especially, live vicariously through Bette/Barbra/Joan/Judy/Liza/Cher (have I missed anyone?) But why now? We live in an age of self-awareness and where one's sense of capital S "Self" should come from a sense of inner awakening. Seek Selfhood through spirituality not Hollywood entertainers! It's so embarrassingly lame. So many gay men still seem to need to find agency via external forces: gay divas, gay icons, Ga Ga, Judy, "Liza with a 'z' ", drugs, transgressive sex, alcohol, being part of a sexy in-group of muscly Alpha males all with the same haircuts and attitudes, and so on. Yawn! It's a kind of pathology that I don't think serves any longer. Sure, applaud those who entertain, but turning people into "icons" is really just another name for "idolatry" and leads to a kind of psychosocial emptiness which is everywhere within gay communities all over the world. Sorry fellas, but it needs to be said. Time to wake up from the sleep of "gay identity". The problem with diva-imitation and worship is not that you want so much or expect so much, but that you want so little for yourself. You are much greater and more formidable than that! If only you knew.
No. She;s Cher and she;s fabulous and ALIVE.
Well I thought it was terrriffffic, no foolin!
Cher would be front and center baldy. Got it?
Is Liza trying to be her mom?
She didn't answer any of the questions he asked. Featherhead.
Stoned & sadly stupid. Far from the brilliant raconteur her mom was
My God give over you lost it years ago
is charles the most annoying interviewer or what?
shame on Busch for only including only 4 gay Divas, especially since Bette and Babs are really lame...
