Liza Minnelli's iconic performance in Cabaret earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the only Oscar winner with parents who also won Oscars.
Liza Minnelli's parents, Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, were legendary figures in Hollywood's Golden Age, known for their roles in classic musicals.
Cabaret changed the musical genre by incorporating diegetic musical numbers and European art-house sensibilities, making it an important milestone in filmmaking.
