Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is an American singer and actress. She is the daughter of singer and actress Judy Garland and film director Vincente Minnelli.

Already established as a nightclub singer and musical theatre actress, she first attracted critical acclaim for her dramatic performances in the movies The Sterile Cuckoo (1969) and Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon (1970). Minnelli rose to international stardom for her appearance as Sally Bowles in the 1972 film version of the Broadway musical, Cabaret, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.

While film projects such as Lucky Lady, A Matter of Time and New York, New York were less favorably received than her stage roles, Minnelli became one of the most versatile, highly regarded and best-selling entertainers in television, beginning with Liza with a Z in 1972, and on stage in the Broadway productions of Flora the Red Menace, The Act and The Rink. Minnelli also toured internationally and did shows such as Liza Minnelli: At Carnegie Hall, Frank, Liza & Sammy: The Ultimate Event, and Liza Live from Radio City Music Hall.

After years of chronic health problems, including a serious infection with viral encephalitis, she returned with a new concert show, Liza's Back, in 2002. She did several well-received guest appearances in the sitcom Arrested Development and had a small role in the movie The OH in Ohio, while continuing to tour internationally. In 2008/09 she performed the Broadway show Liza's at The Palace...! which earned a Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event.

Minnelli's half-sister and brother from Garland's marriage to Sid Luft are Lorna and Joey Luft. She also has another half-sister, Christiane Nina Minnelli (nicknamed Tina Nina), from her father's second marriage.

Minnelli also had a relationship with Desi Arnaz Jr., the son of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

Minnelli and her parents are the only family in the history of the Academy Awards in which each member has won an award.

Philanthropy

Minnelli has, throughout her lifetime, served various charities and causes which she considers very important. She served on the board of directors of The Institutes for The Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP) for 20 years, a nonprofit educational organization that introduces parents to the field of child brain development. She also dedicated much time to amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research. In 2007, Minnelli stated in an interview with Palm Springs Life magazine, “AmfAR is important to me because I’ve lost so many friends that I knew [to AIDS]”. In 1994, Minnelli recorded the Kander & Ebb tune "The Day After That" and donated the proceeds to AIDS research. That same year she performed the song in front of thousands in Central Park at the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

Dave Stringer (born Great Yarmouth October 15, 1944), is a former player and manager of Norwich City football club.

As a player, he won the fans' vote to be Norwich City player of the year in 1972 and made a total of 499 appearances for the club. He ended his playing career with Cambridge United before returning to Norwich city to coach the youth team, winning the FA youth cup in 1984. He went on to manage the reserve team and was appointed first team manager on 9 November 1987 following the sacking of Ken Brown.

In his first season as Norwich manager, 1987-88, he guided the club to 14th place in the Football League First Division. The following season was arguably the best in the club's history, as they featured in the league title race and topped the league at several stages before finishing fourth, and also reached the semi finals of the FA Cup. They were one of several teams (the others including Liverpool and Nottingham Forest) who were in contention for the double that season, and perhaps the most unlikely. They finished 10th in 1990 but dipped to 15th in 1991, and their 18th place finish in 1992 was the closest they had yet come to relegation since being promoted in 1986. They reached the FA Cup semi finals again in 1992 and this time were faced with a seemingly far easier challenge than they had been faced with three years earlier (when they had clashed with Everton), as they were now paired with Sunderland who were a division below them. However, they were once again deprived of playing in their first ever FA Cup final as the Wearside club defeated them.

Stringer resigned as manager on 1 May 1992 and was succeeded by Mike Walker.

During his time as manager at Carrow Road he signed key players including Robert Fleck, Andy Linighan, David Phillips and Tim Sherwood as well as bringing through young players including Ruel Fox and Chris Sutton.

As a child, he grew up in Southtown Great Yarmouth; The Sun later reported that he was the man who "played against cows" because he practised his dribbling skills with bovine assistance.

In 2002, Stringer was named an inaugural member of the Norwich City Hall of Fame.
