Divorced. Vincente Minnelli, 68, Oscar-winning Hollywood director (Gigi, 1958) and father, by his previous marriage to Judy Garland, of Singer-Actress Liza Minnelli; and Denise Minnelli, 40, best-dressed and bejeweled Beverly Hills hostess; after ten years of marriage, no children; in Los Angeles...
...Junie (Liza Minnelli) is a wild young thing with a penchant for what may be restrainedly described as the wrong kind of guy. Her date asks her to strip for him in a cemetery and, after she has a good laugh about that, he tops off a halcyon evening by dragging her into a used-car lot and pouring battery acid over her face. Naturally she is scarred for life. She takes up residence in a dilapidated shack with two other freaks (as they flippantly refer to themselves).

Liza Cole, Julie Andrews' mother in Hawaii, played the warm-hearted Agnes with unabashed charm.

There is one thing she'd like to try. "Now this sounds really stupid, but I'd like to do a modern version of Joan of Arc. Play her in love, you know? There she is, forging on through life groping for something-and it's God! She falls in love and feels like she's flyin' high...
