Tony and Academy Award-winner Liza Minnelli will guest star on the first season
of the new Lifetime comedy series "Drop Dead Diva."

The new series, which premieres on July 12, centers on "a shallow
model-in-training who dies in a sudden accident only to find her soul
resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, thoughtful and plus-size attorney."

According to EW.com, Liza Minnelli (Liza's Back…, "Cabaret") and Delta Burke
(Thoroughly Modern Millie, "Designing Women"), will portray dueling psychic
sisters who run competing businesses across the street from one another. Rosie
O'Donnell (Seussical, No, No Nannette), will guest as a judge on the episode
that is set to air Sept. 20.

Stage performers regularly featured in the series include Brooke Elliot (Pirate
Queen, Taboo) in the lead role of attorney Jane Bingum, as well as Margaret Cho
(The Sensuous Woman), Kate Levering (42nd Street) and Josh Stamberg
(Distracted).

Josh Berman is the creator and executive producer of "Drop Dead Diva," which is
also executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron ("Chicago," "Hairspray").
