Michael Douglas as Liberace. Matt Damon as his tell-all lover. At long last, here comes HBO’s Behind the Candelabra. Our review is here.
Also, time-travel on the Back Channels page to November, 1986. Liberace’s stop in Dallas, to promote a new book, was one of his last public appearances before he died early the following year. He still clung to the fiction of losing his virginity as a teenager to Miss Bea Haven -- and later having his heart broken by champion figure skater Sonja Henie. But Liberace also talked candidly about Lucille Ball, Elton John, >i>Miami Vice, etc.
