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.

No sloppy airport fits to be found here. The hat, necktie and low slung statement belt feel very apt for the 2024 boho resurgence.

Who invented matchy-matchy coloured tights? Liza Minnelli did in 1980 and we won't hear otherwise.
