At age 79, the iconic star Liza Minnelli is again the talk of the town since April 2, 2025. Minnelli has been making her fans around the world gasp in amazement with her incredible skills. The diva is not only having a birthday party but also has new and unexpected things going on.
All the media talk about Minnelli this week has been concentrated on three main topics – her remarkable comeback to the world of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” a new PBS documentary about her life that was just out, and a very intimate birthday speech she made that moved many souls.
Minnelli’s NBC Special Show Reunion with “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Team
Liza Minnelli is scheduled to appear on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” for the first time during the final episode of Season 17 on April 18, 2025. The news came out of the blue and a lot of her followers were really surprised by her announcement.
Her show is set to present Minnelli with the “Giving Us: Lifetime Achievement Award.” The annual award is handed to the greatest entertainers that have not only made a significant contribution to the entertainment culture but are also role models for the LGBTQ+ community. Minnelli will be part of the house of names such as Bob Mackie and Elvira who have been similarly recognized.
Despite the fact that we could all watch the episode promo in which she is seen next to RuPaul on the big stage, there are still her fans that express their joy at her having a comeback. Millions of viewers are predicted to tune into the NBC special, not just for the competition but also to see Liza’s heartwarming moments.
New Documentary: “Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story”
Besides the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” show, another platform, a documentary, was announced to be launched, then aired on the TV. The film is titled Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story and it was broadcasted at the festival of the documentary genre “American Masters” on April 1, 2025.
The documentary, handled by Bruce David Klein, shows the good and the bad of Minnelli’s personal life and career and outlines the key relationships that have made her as an artist. Also, we can get the full information about her co-operation with such legends as Fred Ebb, Kay Thompson, Charles Aznavour, Bob Fosse, and Halston from the documentary’s narration.
The documentary not only comprises rare footage, interviews, and behind-the-scenes stories that have never been revealed to fans before but also the story of the film is so well-presented that it is now regarded by critics as the one you can’t afford not to watch. It shines on the numerous untold moments of Minnelli throughout her long and vibrant journey in showbiz.
Minnelli Commemorates 79th Birthday with a Lachrymose Memory
Just recently, on March 12, 2025, Minnelli turned 79. On this special day, she shared a warm, black-and-white photo from her early years. The picture reveals little Minnelli, head between her famous parents Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, blowing out candles.
Minelli uttered the following words in her Instagram post, “This memory is so precious to me.” It was there she also expressed her content with the recent success of the project Drag: The Musical (which had been co-produced by her), which bis shortly been honored a Queerty Award.
Her fans could not resist filling the comment section with loving, supportive, and birthday wishes for Ms. Minnelli. Many have not only shown their recognition of Minnelli’s past achievements but also of her ability to remain active and creative even today.
Minnelli’s figure and Ongoing Impact:
Liza Minnelli was undoubtedly more than just a singer. She has been an enduring symbol of strength, talent, and enthusiasm. Apart from taking an Oscar as a reward for the role of Sally Bowles in the movie “Cabaret,” she has also been known for performing at the prestigious venues all over the world, thus touching countless peoples’ hearts with all her music.
There is nothing to suggest that Minnelli’s more recent endeavors validate that she is just as lively and influential as always. She is still adored in the film industry and is a strong activist for the LGBTQ+ tribe.
One can actually see that it is the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and the PBS documentary that enable Minnelli to become famous among new generations as the best of the best entertainers of all times. Minnelli’s journey is one that helps us realize that age is just a figure in relation to creativity and inspiration.
