She spends most of the movie in this disturbing makeup while setting up house with two other "freaks" – a gay paraplegic and an epileptic. She made it between "The Sterile Cuckoo" and her breakout performance in "Cabaret." Otto Preminger directed it and it was not a hit. It's also not very good but it is different. And not a bit glamorous. So it's easy to see why Liza's fanbase and maybe even the star herself prefer to ignore it. I don't think I've ever heard her comment on it.
