Escandalosamente extravagante y extravagante, el pianista Liberace fue, entre los años 50 y 70, el artista mejor pagado del mundo. Con su exagerada puesta en escena y su efusiva personalidad, Liberace fue también uno de los más controvertidos y litigiosos, y emprendió acciones legales contra las insinuaciones de que era gay antes de convertirse en una de las primeras víctimas destacadas del sida en 1987. Conocido como Lee por sus amigos y Walter por su familia, era hijo de inmigrantes italianos y polacos. Aprendió a tocar el piano a los cuatro años, especialmente influido por el pianista polaco Ignacy Paderewski. Al principio utilizó su talento tocando en teatros, radios locales, clubes de striptease y bodas, y tocó jazz con un grupo llamado The Mixers, adoptando el nombre artístico de Walter Busterkeys. Excéntrico por naturaleza, se vestía de forma exótica en todas sus apariciones públicas, y su reputación de artista extremo pronto se equiparó a la de gran pianista clásico. En 1944 hizo su primera aparición en Las Vegas, que se convirtió en su "hogar lejos del hogar", ya que acortó su nombre a Liberace y, vistiendo trajes cada vez más relucientes, diseñó una amplia escenografía que incluía el característico candelabro sobre su piano. A mediados de la década de 1950 ganaba 50.000 dólares a la semana en Las Vegas y contaba con más de 200 clubes de fans. Aunque los críticos insistían en que el artificioso espectáculo se interponía en el camino de la música, la popularidad de Liberace crecía y crecía. Mezclaba música clásica con jazz, melodías de espectáculo e incluso boogie woogie, y también cantaba, normalmente cerrando sus espectáculos con su canción emblemática, I'll Be Seeing You. Sus programas de televisión atraían a 30 millones de telespectadores y su público, mayoritariamente femenino, le enviaba 10.000 cartas de admiradores a la semana. También actuó en películas como Sincerely Yours (1955) y When The Boys Meet The Girls, con Connie Francis (1956). Liberace hizo su última aparición en Nueva York en 1986 antes de morir un año después, y fue retratado por Michael Douglas en la película autobiográfica Behind The Candelabra (2013).
