For years, Liza Minnelli has been the subject of rumors, speculation, and even some outright falsehoods about her life, health, and career. But now, the iconic star is ready to take matters into her own hands. According to a source close to the Cabaret legend, Minnelli is gearing up to release a memoir that will set the record straight and share her unfiltered truth with the world. The source exclusively tells Closer that Liza has no plans to hold back this time around.

At 78 years old, Liza Minnelli isn't one to shy away from speaking her mind. On August 6, she made the announcement of her upcoming memoir in a heartfelt message to fans via People.

"I want you to know I’m still here, still kicking ass, still loving life, and still creating," she confidently told her fans. This isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving, and Minnelli wants the world to know that she's far from done. "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. Kids, wait ‘til you hear this," she added with a playful wink.
Setting the Record Straight
The source close to Minnelli shares that the memoir will dive deep into her life, covering everything from growing up in the spotlight of Hollywood to her relationships with ex-husbands, lovers, and friends. But perhaps most intriguingly, it will also explore her famous parents—Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli—and the impact they had on her life.
"She has a lot to say about what it was like growing up in Hollywood, the highs and lows of her career, and the personal challenges she faced," the insider explains. "Liza wants to clear the air on so many things, and she’s ready to share stories that have never been told before."
A Hollywood Legacy
Liza Minnelli's life has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a member of Hollywood royalty, she’s lived through a whirlwind of fame, heartbreak, and triumph. Her journey is one of resilience and authenticity, and her memoir promises to offer an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of her storied career.
"Her mom, Judy Garland, had a life that was tragic beyond belief, and her dad, Vincente Minnelli, had a secret gay life," the insider explains. "No doubt Liza will shed some fascinating light on them both." Judy Garland’s legacy continues to inspire countless fans, and Liza carries her mother’s passion for performance with pride.
"As I grew up, we became incredibly close," Liza recalls fondly of her mother. "I became her best friend and confidante. We would laugh and talk for hours—sometimes in person, sometimes on the phone, depending on where we were." Despite their close bond, another source reveals that Liza’s relationship with her father, Vincente, may have been even stronger. "Liza has always been a daddy’s girl," the source shares. "Yes, she loved her mother, but their relationship was complicated."
