She revealed an upcoming project based on the intellectual property of her father, Dreams My Papa Gave Me, and is set to release her book about fashion photographers Bill Cunningham and Jean-Luce Huré, The Battle of Versailles: The Fashion War of 1973. She wrote the foreword of the book in collaboration with publisher Rizzoli and author Mark Bozek.
Staying strong
Liza is also proving to be multi-talented as she promises to make music again, which according to her publicist Victoria Verela will come when the time is right. She is doing all of this amid health struggles as she was spotted in a wheelchair during a recent rare appearance that caused a stir.
She has undergone numerous surgeries in her lifetime, including hip and knee replacements, with jaw reconstruction after having an accident on stage. She has also been diagnosed with viral encephalitis and scoliosis in the past; nonetheless, Liza believes she still has much value to give, hence her resolve to not retire just yet.
