Acclaimed actress and singer Liza Minnelli has been admitted to a rehab facility to treat substance abuse problems, according to multiple media reports. The star, 69, has already checked into the facility , the name of which is not being disclosed, confirms Scott Gorenstein, a spokesperson for Minnelli. “Considering she’s doing so well, we expect that she’ll be released shortly,” Gorenstein says of the celebrity, who has battled substance abuse over the years. She has sought treatment in the past, as well. In 1984, Minnelli was treated for alcohol and prescription drug addiction after the death of mother Judy Garland, who overdosed on sleeping pills in 1969. Said a lifelong friend of Liza’s at the time: “She’s living her mother’s career all over again, being the biggest star in show business, peaking out in films, the weird marriages, the pills, the booze.” In 2002, court documents revealed that alcohol reportedly played a role in her divorce from her fourth and most famous marriage, to, producer David Gest. Also a Grammy, Tony and Emmy winner, Minnelli is probably best known for the 1972 musical Cabaret which won her an Academy Award for Best Actress. Whatever happened this time around, we hope it passes, and wish Minnelli the best in her recovery process and hope to see her back on her feet soon. 14 Celebrities Who Have Been To Rehab 1.
