http://www.liberace.orgVISIT LIBERACE MUSUEM in LAS VEGAS For decades, Liberace was known for his music, candelabra, charisma, rhinestones and dazzle. Over the years Liberace acquired an astounding array of prestigious awards, including: Instrumentalist of the Year, Best Dressed Entertainer and Entertainer of the Year. He also earned two Emmy Awards, six gold albums, two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's highest paid musician and pianist. Best of all, he was known and loved throughout the world as "Mr. Showmanship." Born in West Allis, Wisconsin in 1919, Walter Valentino Liberace was one of the four children of Salvatore and Frances Liberace. Music was the heart of the Liberace family. His Italian father played the French horn and became a member of the Milwaukee Philharmonic Orchestra. His Polish mother played the piano. Liberace's brother George and sister Angie were also musically talented. When renowned Polish pianist Paderewski visited the Liberaces, he recommended Walter receive a scholarship to the Wisconsin College of Music. Liberace also studied privately. The eminent Florence Bettray Kelly, a protege of Moritz Rosenthal, took charge of his classical training which culminated with his debut at age 14 as soloist with the Chicago Symphony under the direction of Dr. Frederick Stock. In 1940, his night club dates took him to the Persian Room in New York's Plaza Hotel as an intermission pianist. Seven years later, he returned with his own oversized grand piano and his first trademark, a glittering candelabra. Acting on Paderewski's stage manager's early advice, Liberace dropped his first two names, opting to use the elegant "Liberace" exclusively. In 1950, he made his first film debut as honky tonk pianist in the movie "South Sea Sinner," with Shelley Winters. A little later, while playing a club date at the San Diego Coronado Hotel, he was discovered by Don Fedderson, a television producer. A local Los Angeles television show was created. First a summer replacement for Dinah Shore, the show grew into a popular syndicated series and earned two Emmys for Liberace.CONTACT LIBERACE COPYRIGHT & TRADEMARK1775 East Tropicana Avenue (at Spencer) Las Vegas, Nevada 89119-6529.phone: 702-798-5595 | fax: 702-798-7386
