Kathleen Dunn and her guest talk about the life of Liberace, a Milwaukee born pianist whose glitzy performances catapulted him to fame and stardom. His secret gay life and relationship with personal assistant Scott Thorson is the subject of the new HBO biopic, "Behind the Candelabra", staring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon. Although he was a flamboyant performer, Liberace never publicly admitted his homosexual lifestyle leading him to live a dual life of excess and secrecy, which is much of what our guest this hour focuses on in his book, "Liberace: An American Boy".
