Liza Minnelli's best-selling memoir is being adapted into a limited series for Skydance. It’s showtime for Liza Minnelli‘s autobiography, “Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!”
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Richard LaGravenese will adapt the iconic EGOT winner’s best-selling memoir, which dropped in March, as a limited series for Skydance, sources exclusively tell Page Six Hollywood.
Sources say that “The Fisher King” and “Behind the Candelabra” scribe LaGravenese secretly met with “Cabaret” legend Minnelli over the weekend in LA about the project.
We hear that LaGravenese is teaming with Berlanti Productions and Magnolia Hill Productions to join the project as co-executive producer and writer.
Berlanti partners Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, as well as the company’s production president Leigh London Redman, are on board the project, along with Magnolia Hill’s Sam Haskell. Magnolia Hill and Warner Bros. Television first optioned rights to the Minnelli book back in 2024, before its publication.
A studio source told us, “LaGravenese, Berlanti and Haskell began huddling with Minnelli this spring” about the project.
Minnelli’s book was a No. 1 best-seller on The New York Times, London Times and USA Today charts, spanning 48 global editions.
The book from Hachette imprint Grand Central was penned by legendary Minnelli with her BFF and creative collaborator, award-winning music man Michael Feinstein. It was born out of 15 years of recorded chats between the duo.
Minnelli’s memoir has all the makings of a blockbuster series — from her Hollywood heritage and her own legendary career, to her Studio 54 days, multiple marriages, inspiring substance use disorder journey and more.
LaGravenese is also the showrunner of the upcoming Netflix miniseries, “The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey,” which premieres Dec. 10. Haskell famously worked with the late Dolly Parton on 12 film and TV projects as her close friend and producing partner for decades.
With Minnelli as an ambassador, Feinstein is launching AMFM (American Music Forms Memories), an “artistic-scientific platform” in partnership with CommHIT CEO and brain scientist Dr. Kendra Siler, Carrberry Companies and v2 Entertainment Group.
