Here He Is, Boys! Pre-Toupee Liberace
Jeffrey Wells tells us: ‘Three interesting things about this “What’s My Line?” appearance by Liberace on 6.3.56. One, the huge applause he gets. Two, the drawing of the piano and the candelabra next to his signature, and how quickly and skillfully he draws it. And three, the fact that Lee’s hair was going at the time but not yet to a fatal extent. It didn’t reach emergency levels for another five or ten years, I’m guessing. Steven Soderbergh‘s “Behind The Candelabra” tells us Liberace’s hair had totally gone south by the time he met Scott Thorson in ’76.’
