Liza Minnelli has left rehab and she is doing very well. The sixty nine-year-old actress and singer best known for her portrayal of Sally Bowles in the musical film Cabaret and the child of the classic wizard of oz actress Judy Garland (Dorothy), las month had checked herself in as she was seeking treatment for substance abuse, she has now made her return to her home focusing on returning to work.
A source told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column:
“She has been going out frequently in LA.
“She’s starting to gear up to go back onstage. Her first concert will be July 24 in Biloxi, Missouri.”
Also in 2004 Minnelli did rehab as she battled with addiction in the past. She also reportedly got help in the eighties for alcohol and prescription drugs addiction following the tragic death of her mother.
Liza’s addiction to alcohol is said to be one of the reasons why her marriage to David Gest broke down.
Court papers filed by David in 2002 claimed that abusive and alcohol-fuelled incidents took place during their marriage.
Meanwhile, Liza previously opened up about the “disease”, saying she had “inherited” it from her mother.
Speaking in 2008, she said:
“My whole life, this disease has been rampant. I inherited it, and it’s been horrendous, but I have always asked for help.”
More on Minnelli, she is from Hollywood, California, to Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland.
