Bob Monkhouse with Liberace 1956 Hailed as "Mr Showbiz"
Bob Monkhouse with Liberace 1956
Hailed as " Mr Showbiz", Liberace was the personification of hedonism at its most extreme. Billing himself as a pianist, Liberace liked to think of himself as a reincarnation of Franz List - - truly he was exceptionally proficient at the keyboards, but he was far more the classic entertainer, punctuating his popularized versions of light classics with lively patter and jokes, many of which were aimed at himself. Music was his bread and butter, but Liberaces main passion was for excess and flash. Liberace loved rhinestones, expensive cars, priceless pianos and anything rococo, but it was his outrageous costumes and jewellery that immediately spring to mind when you think of him. During some performances he wore lavish spangled costumes that weighed over 200 pounds. Born Wladziu Valentino Liberace (Lee to his friends) in Milwaukee, he learned much about piano playing from the legendary Paderwski, a friend of his mother. Though best remembered for his many Las Vegas performances, his tours and his long running television series during the 50 s, Liberace also appeared in a few films, including " South Sea Sinner", and " Sincerely Yours"
