One of the most flamboyant musical entertainers in history, Liberace was a pianist who took performance to a new level. It was no secret that he was gay (in fact it became a large part of his public persona) and when he was dealing with numerous illnesses and retreated from the public eye during the 1980s, there was some speculation that he could have contracted HIV. He kept his secret through the remainder of his life and it wasn’t made public until after his death in 1987.
