Liza Minnelli enters rehab for alcohol abuse

0

Actress and singer Liza Minnelli has checked herself into a Malibu rehabilitation facility for substance abuse. Her spokesman Scott Gorenstein stated that she has been battling with substance abuse for decades, but always sought out the help that she needed to get healthy in the end. He added that she is making excellent progress at an undisclosed facility. In September, Minnelli underwent back surgery to help speed up the healing process for an injury that prevented her from performing most of the year or attending the funeral of Joan Rivers in New York. Minnelli, 69, is one of the few artists to win an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy and a Grammy. Her greatest and best known role was as cabaret singer Sally Bowles in the film version of “Cabaret.”  Her issues with drugs and alcohol apparently began when a doctor prescribed her Valium after the death of her mother, legendary entertainer Judy Garland, back in 1969. Garland died of an accidental overdose.
