| Summary: |
"A gifted classical pianist, fueled by intense poverty, at the age of 17, Liberace was already playing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; but Wladiziu Valentino Liberace wanted more. Through a gritty mix of showmanship, determination and dazzling talent, he achieved his dream as the world's highest paid performer. But behind the diamonds and glitter, the wealth and extravagant excess, Liberace became a prisoner of his elaborate double life. His desperate attempts to keep his gay private life secret backfired in a series of public scandals and front-page lawsuits."--Container. |
