Liza Minnelli Memoir May Become a TV Series
Warner Bros. TV and Magnolia Hill have joined forces on the project.
“I am beyond excited to work with Sam Haskell of Magnolia Hill Productions and Warner Bros. Television on bringing my story to life in this special way,” Minnelli said in a statement to Variety. “Sam has been a dear friend and an invaluable part of my professional life, and I couldn’t think of a more fitting collaborator for this incredibly personal project. I can’t wait to share my story with the world. I would not trust this story with anyone besides Sam. My belief was always, ‘Tell it when I’m gone!’ [Substance abuse disorder] isn’t about willpower or strength. It is about the wiring of our brains, it is about how genetics impact our lives and the lives of those we love… and it is now time to remove shame and stigma. I’m grateful to experience longevity by working on recovery every day of my life.”

A national roll out will follow. Get a sneak peek at the documentary, which features archival materials and Minnelli's own input.

Yeah, R7. I don’t see why anyone would invest so much $$$ into a movie about someone whose career was really over so long ago. Liza’s heyday was the 1970s and her greatest successes were live performing. Other than her gay following, no on under 65 gives a shit. Her success on film was in ONE movie. Her name hasn’t sold tickets in movies she appeared in, how is a movie about her going to be successful?
