But what happens to Liza Minnelli? The 76-year-old American actress has been in a wheelchair for some time. This was the case recently whenshe appeared in a wheelchair after a dinner with friends in Los Angeles (California) last Saturday, July 9. Moreover, under her black sequined jacket, red scarf, black pants and leather shoes, Liza Minnelli looked in small shape. Already, last March, it was also in a chair that Liza Minnelli had accessed the stage of the Oscars ceremony alongside Lady Gaga to award the prize for best film.
Would Liza Minnelli have suffered a tragic accident that would have put her in this state? What is the reason for his loss of energy at 76 now? Well, here it is.
“I don’t want people to worry about me”
Do not panic, Liza Minnelli is fine. The reasons for these appearances in wheelchairs would be partly due to a misunderstanding. During the Oscars ceremony, the 76-year-old actress was supposed to appear on stage with a director’s chair, but it was finally a wheelchair that was imposed on her. What would have greatly annoyed the ex-wife of Martin Scorsese to believe the words of the musician and close friend of the actress, Michael Feinstein, relayed by the DailyMail. SiriusXM podcast guest, The Jess Cagle Show last April, he said: “She was sabotaged. It’s terrible to use that word, but she only agreed to appear at the Oscars if she was in the director’s chair because she had back problems. She said: ‘ I don’t want people to see me limping over there. You know I want to make an appearance but I don’t want people to worry about me.'”
Even if Liza Minnelli does not unfortunately keep a great memory of her visit to the Oscars 2022 (ceremony marked among other things by the slap of Will Smith to Chris Rock), her friend Michael Feinstein wanted to reassure the fans of the actress in this same podcast : “She’s doing really well and it’s a shame that it happened like that”he regretted.
