Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2024)

This documentary gives an interesting look at the stellar career of Liza Minnelli, an artist who has performed on stage basically all her life. The scene above is taken from backstage footage from the 1970s. Among several make-up items it’s impossible not to notice the tall striped bottle on the right side of her dressing table.

It’s the unmistakable aluminium canister of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, the floral aldehyde fragrance created by Michel Hy in 1971 and named after the left bank of the river Seine in Paris, where the first YSL boutique was located. This fragrance definitely appealed to Liza Minnelli’s independent and free spirit.

The round object on the right side of the table is Personna Flicker shaver.

Thanks to Amy in the comments for the Flicker razor id.
