I think these interpretations have merit, but I picture the speaker of this song to literally be Liza Minelli, especially with the lyrics "Lay down on the streets my eyes toward the sun your star next to my face" and "saw your name on the sidewalk saw your brave face in my mind," which are referring to Judy Garland's star on the Hollywood walk of fame. No matter where her career takes her, the legacy of her equally famous parents(Judy Garland & Vincent Minelli) will always follow her.
