Liza Minnelli wants to be buried in a designer outfit

She told Vulture as part of their 'Legends of Broadway' issue: "We were hiding from the censors how sexy that red sequined dress was gonna be. How far could we go? How short could we get it? I saw sponsors and network people all clutching their chests, but nobody died. Halston was such a genius - decades later, I still wear his clothes all the time. I want to be buried in Halston, but no cremation, baby - why ruin an exquisite outfit?"

Liza - who is the daughter of late Hollywood legend Judy Garland and her second husband Vincente Minnellii - was given her big break when she has cast in the film adaptation of Kander and Ebb musical 'Cabaret' and recalled how their influence played a huge part in her being able to "carve [her] own path" away from the 'Wizard of Oz' star.

She said: "You can't speak about my past without celebrating John Kander and Fred Ebb. They understood that I was desperately trying to carve my own lane. It gave me an opportunity for people to know me outside of my parents and outside of Sally Bowles. I didn't have hit records, but 'Liza With a Z' gave me the equivalent of multiple hits.

"And I've always said [choreographer] Bob Fosse knew everything about me and used every single part of my body, including my scoliosis. Everybody wanted to know: Did we or didn't we? I'll just keep you guessing.
