Judy Garland’s daughter, best known for her scene stealing turns in films Cabaret and New York New York and that iconic razor sharp pixie cut is set to release a memoir in Spring 2026, after claiming that previous documentaries “didn’t get it right.”
The 78-year-old American actor and singer boasts famous parents on both sides (her father is film director Vincente Minnelli) and is part of the very elite EGOT club - just 25 performers who can boast Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony wins.
The book (which will be published by Grand Central Publishing) will detail her decade-spanning career, her struggles with substance abuse and her turbulent love life (she has been married 4 times). We’re also hoping it has lots of juicy details about sweaty Studio 54 nights with Bianca Jagger and on-set gossip from her appearances on cult TV classic Arrested Development.
After previous denials that she would ever put pen to paper - “Tell it when I’m gone!” - She was left frustrated by previous documentaries about her life that missed the mark, “Finally, I was mad as hell. Over dinner one night, I decided, it’s my own damn story, I’m going to share it with you because of all the love you’ve given me.”

While we patiently wait for the bombshell book to land, let’s take a trip down fashion-muse memory lane. A talented singer and actor Liza may be first of all, but few stars can boast such an instantly recognisable style and a beauty regime to match. The perfect fusion of the giddy heyday of the 1970s dance floor and the bombastic glamour of the 1980s.
