Legendary superstar Liza Minnelli was honored at the 10th Los Angeles-Italia Festival with its Jack Valenti – Los Angeles, Italia Legend Award.

Hollywood born Minnelli, who first acted at 3-years old and who’s roots in show business go back to her parents: actress Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli, accepted the award during the festival’s closing night ceremonies at the Hollywood and Highland Center.

Said honorary chair Mark Canton: “As in prior years our board aims to recognize highly talented Italian-Americans who have made an impact on the industry and without a doubt, Liza fits the bill.”

Jack Valenti was the longtime president of the Motion Picture Association of America.
