Judy Garland’s daughter, Liza Minnelli, known for her rich alto voice, has reportedly withdrawn from the public eye, choosing a life of seclusion. A close source of the entertainer shared that Minelli is now under supervisory and continuous care.

Numerous challenges over the years have marked the 77-year-old’s health journey—she has faced hospitalizations for various issues, including struggles with alcoholism and substance abuse. Her battle with addiction began shortly after her mother, Judy Garland, tragically passed away in 1969, and she was reportedly prescribed Valium, leading to her alleged use of recreational drugs in the ’70s.
