3. Liberace
Possibly the most flamboyant mainstream celebrity of all time, Liberace was a pianist, singer, actor, and showman without peer. The highest paid entertainer in the world between the 1950’s through to the 1970’s, he gave concerts for decades while releasing albums, appearing on TV and in movies and even earned endorsements. Constantly clothed in some of the most glamorous or gaudy outfits ever created, he lived an outrageous life during a period where expectations of men were far from progressive.
A homosexual who lived his life in the closet due to the massive backlash it would have caused at the time, it may not be shocking that he hid his private life but his supposed beliefs were surprising. Said to be one of the first members of the Church of Satan, if the claims are accurate he was also a personal friend of the group’s leader and founder. Although we couldn’t find any photo evidence to back up the stories, we also found zero stories disputing the claims. We certainly don’t see the lack of detractors as proof of anything other than the man is associated with Satan, which is more than enough to land here.
