Liza Minnelli ( B. 1946 ) the daughter of actress Judy Garland and director Vincent Minnelli, is an American actress, singer, and dancer. Known for her commanding stage presence and powerful Alto singing voice, she has received numerous accolades including an Academy Award, a Bafta Award, an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and four Tony Awards. Her persona and style have cemented her as a gay icon.

Minnelli has recalled that although she visited Andy's factory on more than one occasion, she personally first met Warhol when their friend Halston introduced them in the early 1970's when she posed for the August 1972 cover of Interview Magazine. Later Warhol painted a series of portraits of her based on his polaroids in the late 1970's, by then she was an important part of his inner circle. In Minnelli Warhol found a powerfully iconic face with strong elements ready made for his signature portraiture style. Liza was a quintessential iconic Warhol subject portraying the illusive allure if celebrity that deeply inspired Andy.
