Career
Minnelli moved to Chicago, where he lived briefly with his maternal grandmother and an aunt after his high school graduation. He began working as a window dresser at Marshall Fields' department store. He later worked as a photographer for Paul Stone, who specialized in photographing actors from Chicago's theater district. His fascination with theatre grew, and he became very interested in art and began to read books on the subject. Minnelli's first work in theater was at the Chicago Theatre, where he worked as a costume designer and set designer.
Balaban and Katz's theater company soon joined The theater chain soon combined with Paragraph-Publix and Minnelli, who were often invited to appear on shows in New York City. He departed Chicago and rented a tiny Greenwich Village apartment. He was eventually hired as a set designer and progressed to stage director right after the 1932 opening, and was also charged as a color consultant for the original interior layout of the Rainbow Room.
Minnelli's first play, at Home Abroad, opened in October 1935 and starred Beatrice Lillie, Ethel Waters, and Eleanor Powell, after leaving Radio City Music Hall. The revue was well-received and enjoyed a two-year run. Minnelli's later appearance on The Ziegfeld Follies of 1936, Hooray for What!, Maidens is On. Minnelli's fame grew, and he was given a job at MGM in 1940 by producer Arthur Freed.
Minnelli was known as a stage designer who often brought his stage experience to his films due to his theatre work. Cabin in the Sky (1943), his first film directed by him, was clearly inspired by the theater. He directed I Dood It (also 1943) with Red Skelton and Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), where he fell in love with the film's star, Judy Garland. They first met on the set of Strike Up the Band (1940), a Busby Berkeley film in which Minnelli was invited to design a musical sequence starring Garland and Mickey Rooney. They began a courtship that eventually culminated in their marriage in June 1945. Liza Minnelli, the family's one child, grew up to be an Academy Award-winning actress and singer. The Minnelli family is thus unique in that father, mother, and child have all received awards.
Known as the producer of musicals (1951), An American (1954), Kismet (1954), and Gigi (1958), Mother of the Bride (1950), Lust for Life (1954), and The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1963). (1976) The Matter of Time was his last film.
Spencer Tracy, Gloria Grahame, Kirk Douglas, Anthony Quinn, Arthur Quinn, Arthur Kennedy, Shirley MacLaine, and Martha Hyer all directed seven actors in Oscar-nominated roles: Spencer Tracy, Gloria Grahame, Gloria Grahame, Kirk Douglas, Anthony Quinn, Anthony Quinn, Arthur Quinn, and Martha Hyer. Grahame and Quinn won. In 1951, Minnelli received an Academy Award for Best Director for An American (1951) and then won the Best Director Oscar for Gigi (1958). According to Peter Bart in his book The Gross, Minnelli's films received 11 first-place finishes on Variety's opening day box office rankings, with eleven of them placing first in first-place finishes.
Only weeks before his death in 1986, he was honoured France's highest civilian award, Commandeur of the Legion of Honor.
Minnelli's critical reputation has shown a certain degree of change, being lauded (or dismissed) in America as a "pure stylist" who, "believes more in beauty than in art," according to Andrew Sarris. Minnelli was described as "the greatest director of motion picture musicals the television has ever seen," Alan Jay Lerner (of Lerner and Loewe) said.
In France, his work attracted considerable attention in the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly in Jean Douchet's essay "an artist who could bring life to dreams." At the 1967 Cannes Film Festival, Minnelli appeared as a juror. That's Entertainment, a MGM compilation film That's Entertainment! Several clips from several of his films were shown.
Minnelli was named on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 8, 1960, for his contributions to the motion pictures industry on 6676 Hollywood Boulevard.
