Liza Minnelli Will Release Her Memoir in 2026

Thank God. For years, she has said that she doesn’t want to do a book or a movie. I am thankful for whoever changed her mind as she has quite the thrilling life and I’m sure lots of stories to tell.

Liza is incredibly private and seems to prefer to live in a sort of fake Hollywood version of reality. I'd love for her to really spill the tea. I'll be reading it either way!"

Couldn't agree more, but that said, I'm going to have to read this, or at least skim parts in the bookstore, especially for info on her mom (not tell-all stuff, things like memories of when her parents were still married to each other, what that was like; more about Garland's sense of humor).

She’s writing it alongside Michael Feinstein so let’s see how much we get - she’s not writing this herself alone.

She turned to Feinstein to help get her memoir written. “We’ve been joined at the hip for 40 years. As ambassador of the Great American Songbook and my absolute favorite collaborator, Michael’s one of the greats, he’s razor-sharp, and and he tells the truth,” Minnelli added of partnering with her longtime friend on the project.

My heart stopped for a second when I saw the big Liza picture as the main headline. Phew. I can't be the only one.

Anyway, great news, sign me up. I hope it is Barbra-level long and detail-heavy.

Oh, I 100% bet Feinstein will write more of it than she will and even read the audio book.

Michael Feinstein nooooooooooooooooooooo

So basically she’s just giving them access to her archives and scrapbooks and letting them all figure things out then she’ll give notes and bingo. With so many co-authors, they truly have some audacity to call this “a memoir.” This will basically be an authorized biography. She’s not writing a single word.

My own (managed) expectations are that she will keep her word and not write whatever "memoir" is written. Michael likely thinks he knows more about her life than she does (and he may well be right), and the other two will do the research while he waxes poetic. I would not expect anything remotely like a tell-all, and I also think that the stories will feature a wide and fuzzy gray line between fact and fiction.

But it will be enjoyed, at least in some precincts.

A sabotaged appearance at the Oscars, in front of billions of people … a film with twisted half-truths … 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! Over dinner one night, I decided, it’s my own damn story … I’m gonna share it with you because of all the love you’ve given me.”

Her quote makes it seem that she’s not happy with the documentary that premiered at Tribeca this Spring…"



She's not.

Speaking of Liza,

https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/how-liza-minnelli-outlives-is-breaking-new-faster-than-the-times?source=facebook&via=desktop

is just plain weird.

It’s a beloved Twitter account, one of the few remaining from the platform’s freewheeling, fun, informative days. Hell, it’s how I learned Biden dropped out of the race just a few weeks ago. It ain’t serious.

It seems truly inconceivable at this point that she has never been at least offered it. I personally suspect that Feinstein has something to do with it not coming to fruition.
