Liberace and Edward R. Murrow

Image
Tacit defense of gay marriage, notice how very deftly Liberace chooses his words: Edward R. Murrow: Have you given much thought to getting married and eventually settling down? Liberace: Well, actually I have. Ed. I've given a lot of thought to marriage, but I don't believe in getting married just for the sake of getting married. I want to someday find the perfect mate and settle down to what I hope will be a marriage that will be blessed by faith and will be a lasting union. In fact, I was reading about lovely young Princess Margaret, and she's looking for her dream man, too. I hope she finds him some day. Liberace on Edward R. Murrow's television show Person to Person January 6, 1956 Later in the interview Liberace makes some flirty comments about the young, pretty, and single Princess Margaret, implying that he might want to marry her. Royal glam and glitter enough to make him switch teams? This DVD set is a remarkable 3-disc collection of historic 1950s material.
