Liza Minnelli is setting the record straight. The 78-year-old singer and actress is doing well and living her life the way she wants to, despite what the "trashy" tabloids may have to say.
In a new documentary by director Bruce David Klein, she opened up about her life, along with other friends and associates of hers. Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday, June 12, 2024.
Liza wasn't in attendance for the premiere, but she did share a message for her fans. It read: "Bonjour Paris… Hiya Kids, I’ve often said the day I was born I popped outta Mama and the press took a picture. They’ve been taking them ever since. Sadly, when some sleaze balls don’t know the truth, they just make up junk. Tonight, words, images, music from my life will be on display because of my forever friends at the Tribeca Film Festival, where 'Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story' shows up on screen."
She went on to share how she and her sister, Lorna Luft, decided not to be present for the premiere of the documentary. "This film from @atlasmediacorp, Bruce David Klein and a gaggle of producers is my gift to you. I hope you love it. If you don’t, keep it to yourself…Ha!" she wrote. "It shows my history and my life today and is only the beginning of renewing this phase of new ways to create at the ripe old age of 78! I don’t feel a day over… who the hell knows. Some trashy rags lie and say I’m too 'fragile' to travel. How dumb is that? Honey, sitting in a Gulf Stream is smoother and more luxurious than any damn wheel chair."

"Babies, I still travel," she concluded. "Still love living life on my terms with a tight circle of people I adore. I’m finally free to have fun… 'my heart has wings'. If you’re at @Tribeca, write me here and let me know what you think. I’ll get back to as many of you as I can. And remember it’s the Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story."
