Image

Minnelli's work in Cabaret molded her popular image; the black helmet of hair, huge eyes and extravagant eyelashes have remained her visual trademarks. The perception among many is that she embodies the same characteristics she portrayed as Sally Bowles, that is, a combination of fragility, determination, detachment from reality and hunger for affection. During the 1980s, she softened her image and has kept it ever since. Recently, she has suffered from fluctuating weight and has faced severe health problems, including having had both hips replaced, other surgeries, and stints in rehab. Despite this, she stated she will keep on doing what she does best as long as her body allows her to. In a recent interview session filmed for “Inside the Actor's Studio” in which she provided insight into her career and style, she stated she will continue to be herself. Her later image is notable for big eyebrows, which has become something of a signature look for her, as much as the black helmet hair was in the 1970s.
