A persons life is their businness. Nobody has the right to pass judgment. Liberace was brilliant showman who brought so much happiness to millons. After he was made they broke the mould.

Lee you are so terribly missed.

Wonderful Liberace!!! So glad he won!!! And with such wit! Always the greatest even in Court. Love you Liberace!!!!!! XXXXXXXXX

I think it's sad that he had to lie about his sexual orientation in court. Those times where brutal! >:o

[Rixera]

You can't just assume that Liberace was a kindhearted man or whatever, and leave it at that... Im not saying that he was bad, im just saying that you have to look at both sides of the coin. Off course ppl who knew him are going to leave out the "bad things" everybody knows that.

@michaelhenicker Every person has the right to a private life, out of the spotlight.

But why stand up in court and deny the very thing you believe in.

I couldn't give a toss if he was Poof or not. I prefer to remember him as a great Pianist and Entertainer

I spend time with an elderly lady once or twice a week. We watch videos of Liberace together, such a joy to us both. She asks me again and again if he's still alive. I say, no, he passed on, but he's here with us now. How lucky we are. Oh yes, she says, how lucky we are!!!!

@flatpat When did you meet him? I've not heard anybody else that knew him personally say that.

[flatpat]

Wow he lied in a court of law on a law and in a law suit he brought forth. In his personal life he was a cruel mean selfish individual who used poor down & out men for sex and throw them in the gutter. Real nice guy.

[YouCanSayIt]

Listen. Liberace made the comment, "You can't place a price on a person's reputation." It proves he cared about his reputation and obviously had good morals. I love the part starting at 4:35 where he announces that he is suing and I'm glad he won!

Liberace also did live a rather interesting lifestyle, the gay thing aside. His longtime partner, chauffeur, lover etc. Scott Thorson was also in the witness protection program for being a key witness in the Wonderland Murder's that Porn King John Holmes was involved in.

poor Liberace just wanted to smell fresh..
