I think it was fascinating for a number of reasons

1. No matter how soulless show business is now it was even worse
2. I never realized what a scumbag Liberace was
3. I never realized exactly how decadent Liberace lived
4. I never realized how incredibly popular Liberace was-highest paid entertainer over a 20 year period.
5. It's just a good story
6. It's incredible that Liberace wen to such lengths to conceal his sexuality-not that I blame him-and that such a large segment of the public thought this guy was straight.

I'm amazed at how big the guy was yet many know very little other than that he was gay. If I hadn't grown up in LV I'd probably not know a thing about the guy.

Most of the public was homophobic during that time. But the stupid housewife demographic was very large and delusional.
