Liza Minnelli to be awarded
Liza Minnelli will be presented with France's highest cultural accolade next week.
The Cabaret star, 65, will receive the Legion d'honneur from Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand in a special ceremony on Monday, hours before she takes to the stage in Paris for a concert at the fabled Olympia music venue.
News of the French honour comes days after Minnelli picked up the Icon prize at Britain's Silver Clef awards last Friday.
She adds this trophy to her collections of Oscar, Grammy, Tony, BAFTA and Golden Globe awards accumulated throughout her outstanding career.
She was presented the Investec Icon Award by TV chat show presenter Graham Norton.
