Thanks to PopBytes for alerting me -- MK is as big a Liza fan as me -- Check out this new photoshoot of 65 year old Liza Minnelli by celebrity photographer Terry Richardson.
Wowie-Zowie. Life is still a cabaret. The pics were shot for the UK's "Love" magazine.
More fun shots after the jump.
The photos are awesome enough that they suddenly reminded me of hte time when Liza was reborn into pop culture when the Pet Shop Boys grabbed a hold of her for her "Results" CD in 1989. Anyone remember that? The 80s were a dark dark decade for fans of musicals and old fashioned bonafide showgirls like Minnelli. But HA! Liza had the last laugh by returning just as the decade bit it, still kicking.
Last time I saw Liza live her voice was pretty wrecked which was sad but recently I saw Lucky Lady (1975) -- available finally on home viewing -- and I fell all over again. People forget what a truly gifted comedic actress she is. I'm always hoping new filmmakers have similar affections for older performances and give them a final great showcase. But if that doesn't happen at least she got that fun run on Arrested Development as a reminder for all in the Aughts.
