FACEBOOK: Liza Minnelli announces she has worked with a filmmaker to tell the story of her career:
"Hi Kids! Sit down, because this is a long story! People always wonder what I’m up to… when will I make another film? I already have! Last week, I told you: I’m having fun, doing great things and you’ll learn about them here. Ta Da! This is one of my many new projects. I’ve been working quietly with a brilliant director, Bruce David Klein and @atlasmediacorp to bring the real story of how my career in films and more began. And I’m not talking about my baby debut at MGM with Mama… that was pure nepotism. You’re gonna see me telling it all in LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story — a fabulous documentary featuring footage of me today and from my archives. Our movie is getting a big screen premiere at the incredible #TribecaFestival in June. I’m so excited! I can’t stand it! Stay tuned babies…there’s so much more to share! Thank you for always loving me. I absolutely love each of you."
