Blind Items Revealed #2 - Mr. X
August 28, 2015
What EGOT winner was speedballing coke and barbiturates for most of her nights she spent at Studio 54? Considering all of the gigs she had during that time, she never got any sleep and would basically perform in a zombified state. Not really that surprising considering the lady in question.
Liza Minelli
Like mother, like daughter, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered are you still an EGOT if one of your awards was honorary (Liza, Barbra, etc) as opposed to winning each award (Rita, Whoopi)?
ReplyDeleteShe was still an awesome performer and she's still alive.
ReplyDeleteshocking!
ReplyDeleteShe was young and ruled the world back then.
ReplyDeleteagree Living Legend is not competitive but certainly earned, mais oui?
ReplyDeleteI legitimately see both sides of this argument, but I personally lean on the "honorary matters" side because getting an honorary Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, or Tony means that one has to not just kick ass for one performance, but kick ass consistently over a matter of years.
ReplyDeleteAnd beautiful, too.
ReplyDeleteIt seems she partied as hard as she worked.Man she was something back in the day though, so much talent, she could sing, dance and act as if it were such an easy thing to do!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that the time frame for Cabaret and New York, New York? Not bad for a zombie.
ReplyDeleteDamn right. Cabaret was absolutely stellar.
ReplyDeleteAnd she is alive at 80, therefore do billions of drugs if you want to grow up old like her or the rolling stones.
