Liberace clones his gay lover....
PUSSSYKATT
FLAMBOYANT pianist Liberace once ordered his plastic surgeon to transform the
face of his male lover into a younger version of himself.
The shocking claim is made in a new book about the secretly gay showman,
Liberace: An American Boy -- a blockbuster that exposes the private world of
one of the world's greatest entertainers.
Liberace met handsome Scott Thorson in 1976 when Thorson was just a boy of 17
and the music legend was 56. Liberace quickly moved the teenager into his home
and offered him a job as his chauffeur and bodyguard.
But Thorson never dreamed that the entertainer also wanted to make him into a
Liberace clone.
In 1978, Liberace had cosmetic surgery to make himself look younger, and paid
doctors to recreate Thorson's face in his own image.
During a preoperative interview with the surgeon at the star's home, Liberace
jumped up and ran into another room returning with a large oil portrait of
himself, Thorson says in the book.
"I want to make Scott look like this," he remembers Liberace saying as the
pianist propped the painting up in front of the doctor, says the book.
It was a full-face portrait of Liberace and one of his favorite paintings of
himself, clearly showing his prominent cheekbones, slightly arched nose and
pointy chin in the most flattering way.
This was exactly the look the surgeon imposed during a two-step, seven-hour
operation. He first used silicone implants, Thorson explains, "to reshape my
round face into a reasonable facsimile of Lee's heart-shaped one." Five days
later, the doctor lengthened and narrowed his nose to the same end. The result?
"I looked like a younger, Nordic version of Liberace," Thorson is quoted as
saying.
And making love to his clone really turned the pianist on, says Thorson in the
book.
But Liberace had lots of other kinky quirks, too. He was into gay porn and
visiting sex shops, according to Pyron's book.
"He used pornography to become aroused and ready for sex," Thorson says in the
book. "Each time he viewed one of his tapes, he'd want to have sex. Before my
arrival, he'd watch hard- core porn as a steady diet."
Liberace and his young lover didn't stop with skin flicks. They made the rounds
of porn palaces around the world. In 1981, they visited an X-rated shop in one
of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.'s, sleazier neighborhoods. The entertainer ogled the
racks of smutty magazines and merchandise.
"Lee's eyes gleamed as he took it all in," Thorson recalls in the book.
But Thorson says he wasn't comfortable with Liberace's recklessness -- and let
him know it.
"You're a well-known star," he told him. "You're out of your mind to go to a
place like that. What would you have done if someone had seen you?"
Most of the time, Liberace was very guarded about his sex life. His lovers were
usually anonymous men he picked up. But Pyron says that Liberace did have a
secret affair with Rock Hudson.
"Such an affair did occur, by Rock Hudson's own admission," says the author.
"Hudson had revealed the circumstances of the affair to Boze Hadleigh, a
Hollywood writer.
"The affair happened at the height of Liberace's fame, and Rock was an
up-and-coming star in Hollywood.
"But in general, Lee preferred young street boys. Famous guys didn't really
turn him on. His character was such that he had to feel superior to his
lovers."
According to author Darden Pyron, Liberace's first male lover was an athlete --
a Green Bay Packers lineman whose identity was never revealed.
After years of covering up, Liberace's gay sex life was finally made public in
1982 when Thorson sued him for palimony. Their romance had soured. Thorson
slapped the star with a $13 million palimony suit, claiming he provided
Liberace with "emotional and sexual satisfaction and gratification." Liberace
went on to another lover, Cary James, but the star contracted AIDS and died in
1987 at age 67. To the bitter end, Liberace denied he and Thorson were lovers
and that he was homosexual.
"At the time of his death, neither his mother or sister accepted the fact that
he was gay," Pyron revealed.
Thorson ended up with only $100,000, while James, who died of AIDS in 1995,
received "a nice chunk of money from Liberace's estate."
But Thorson, who reconciled with Liberace right before he died, doesn't care
that he wasn't in the will, says a source.
"It was Lee's deathbed request that we reconcile and vow to remember only the
wonderful times," he says in the book. "There will never be another Liberace in
my life."
