Liza Minelli to release tell all memoir
The 78-year-old will release the book in the first half of 2026, which will take readers through her famous family, her career, struggles with substance abuse, and love life.
“Since I was old enough to put pencil to paper, people asked me to write books about my career,” Minnelli said in a statement to People Magazine..
“‘Absolutely not! ‘Tell it when I’m gone!’ Was my philosophy,” the star adds.
However, a “series of unfortunate events” changed her mind when it comes to writing about her “life, loves and family.”
Those included, according to Minnelli, “a sabotaged appearance at the Oscars,” “a film with twisted half-truths ” and “a recent miniseries that just didn’t get it right … All made by people who didn’t know my family, and don’t really know me.”
“Finally, I was mad as hell!” the star continued. “Over dinner one night, I decided, it’s my own d— story … I’m gonna share it with you because of all the love you’ve given me.”
Minnelli is one of just 25 people to have won an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award) and is best known for 1972’s Cabaret, her TV concert film Liza With A Z and Martin Scorsese’s 1977 musical-drama New York, New York.
In the early 2000s, she had a recurring role in the satirical sitcom Arrested Development.
Despite her recent challenges, Liza’s memoir is set to be a love letter to her fans.
With a wink toward lyrics from Cabaret’s Maybe This Time Minnelli said that now, “after incredible events and life-threatening battles … I am truly ‘Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy.'”
“Thank you all for loving me so much … being concerned about me,” she said.
“I want you to know I’m still here, still kicking a–, still loving life and still creating. So, until this book arrives, know that I’m laughing, safe in every way, surrounded by loved ones and excited to see what’s right around the curve of life.
