Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is an American actress and singer. 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 then 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 in a Leading Role. She later made a great star turn in Arthur (1981), co-starring with Dudley Moore (in the title role) and Sir John Gielgud, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as Arthur's snobbish but loveable butler.

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.

Martin Lacey, Jr. (born 8 June 1977) is an award-winning English circus performer and trainer of wild animals who has achieved fame in Germany. He is the son of Martin Lacey, the circus ringmaster and animal trainer who bred most of the tigers used in the Esso television advertisements in the 1970s.

In 1994 he performed in the German television series Anke Late Night. He has frequently appeared on German news and entertainment TV shows.

Lacey's performances with wild animals have won him various circus awards:

In 2008, Indian newspaper The Tribune reported that Lacey was hand-rearing three lion cubs at Circus Krone, as their mother Ruth was unable to provide enough milk.

His father, Martin Lacey, is director of the Great British Circus. His mother, Susan Lacey, is a retired animal trainer who performed in the circus industry for many years. He has two brothers: Alexander, who also works as an animal trainer and performer, and Richard. Martin Lacey, Jr. is married to Jana Mandana Lacey-Krone and has a son, Alexis Henry Lacey-Krone.

Martin Lacey (born 1947) is a circus ringmaster, company director and trainer of wild animals. He trained most of the tigers that were used in the Esso television advertisements in the 1970s

He has been breeding and training animals including lions, tigers and elephants for over forty years. He is a Government Registered Wild Animal Trainer.

In his heyday he appeared in UK television variety shows and was known as the “King Of The Cage” and "the Man Fear Forgot". He provided most of the animals used in the Esso television advertisements of the 1970s. However, changes in public attitudes to performing animals mean that he has faced criticism in recent years.

He is the owner of the Great British Circus company that, unusually for the UK, organises circuses with live wild animals including tigers, camels and elephants. He is also a director of Linctrek Ltd, a company which provides trained animals for film, collections and television.

His use of wild animals has attracted considerable criticism and protests. However, he defends his company's approach as follows: "The Circus takes veterinary advice from world-respected experts, not from campaign groups who too often seek to excite public sympathy in their quest for donations and support.".
