US EditionLiza Minnelli Claims Oscars Ordered Her to Use Wheelchair to Present With Lady Gaga
Minnelli says the Academy forced her into a wheelchair at the 2022 Oscars for safety, which hindered her teleprompter view and led to stumbling during her presentation.
- On Feb. 20, an excerpt published by People revealed Liza Minnelli, 79-year-old stage and screen star, says she was ordered to sit in a wheelchair at the 2022 Academy Awards.

- The memoir, cowritten with longtime friend and pianist Michael Feinstein, includes co-authors Josh Getlin, journalist, and Heidi Evans, Pulitzer Prize winner, and is available for preorder.
