    According to www.imdb.com, Liberace was born Wladziu Valentino Liberace on May 16, 1919 in West Allis, Wisconsin. Friends called him "Lee."

    Are you kidding me with the gay question? His gayness was seen from space! He even paid to have a former lover get plastic surgery to look more like a younger version of himself!

    You should go visit the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas on Tropicana Avenue. Even though many of his costumes have faded over time, they are still quite fabulous! You should see the size of the rings he wore on his fingers!

    Liberace's real name is Wladziu Valentino Liberace. He was born in West Allis, Wisconsin, on May 16, 1919 and died on Feb. 4, 1987.

    Yes, Liberace was gay. He had a live-in boyfriend, Scott Thorson. In 1982, Thorson, Liberace's bf of some five years, sued the pianist for $113 million in palimony after they split-up. Liberace continued to publicly deny that he was homosexual. In 1984, most of Thorson's claim was dismissed, although he received a $95,000 settlement.
