Cher, who is equally talented as a singer and an actress, was born 75 years ago today, on 20-May-1946. I have always liked her low voice and her dead-pan delivery. I remember hearing music from Sonny and Cher for most of my life. "I Got You Babe" got stuck in my head recently. I remember their television show, and then her solo show after they split. She acted on Broadway and in films and was exceptionally good. She won the Best Actress Oscar for Moonstruck. I thought some of her solo songs were bombastic, but I still remember them.

Liza Minnelli 75 -- March 12, 2021

 

 Singer actress and dancer Liza Minnelli was born 75 years ago today, on 12-March-1946. I was probably aware of her as Judy Garland. I think she really caught my attention when I saw her on the cover of the 25-February-1972 Newsweek. I didn't see Cabaret until many years later. 

She was a wonderful singer and dancer, but her movie career has been hit-or-miss. She won an Oscar for Cabaret and she was good in Arthur.
