Scott Thorson is dead to me!

Fag he rest in peace.

Was the grapefruit diet a contributing factor?

[quote] M Damon

Who happened to have played Scott.

Aww, that's too bad.

Just rewatched Behind the Candelabra a couple weeks ago.

Another glaring example of the absence of editorship in article at limk. Michael Keaton did not play Liberace in the 2013 HBO biopic.

Yes, R5, I was just going to mention that.

What, precisely, was behind the candelabra?

r7 Turn in your homosexual card right this instant, r7. Shame on you.

"What, precisely, was behind the candelabra?"

a lot of dick

[quote] Matt Damon portrayed Thorson in a 2013 HBO movie based on the book, and Michael Keaton played Liberace.

Good grief!

He slept with Michael Jackson and had an affair with him for five years.

Boober!!

R10, even though Michael Keaton may be a Michael Douglas, Michael Douglas has never been a Michael Keaton.

Liberace was reputed to be worth $18mm when he died in 1987 (about $42mm today).

So, not Thiel-murdering-boytoys wealthy, but not poor.

Was Thorson supposed to be a nice guy? Because you'd think Liberace could find someone a bit hotter in the looks department.

Liberace encouraged him to maim himself with plastic surgery. He was decent looking before.

EWWW - why would you do that ? Once was more than enough.

I hope that he and Lee can work things out now.

I had a friend who for some inexplicable reason was transfixed by Behind The Candelabra and then got into Liberace as a result. He was 30 yrs old. It freaked my shit.

Clearly he went to the plastic surgeon at some point with a photo of Jigsaw from the "Saw" franchise, and demanded, "Make me look like that!"

He said that Liberace wanted him (Scott) to have surgery to look like him (Lee). I guess Jigsaw isn't far off.

I hear there will be a vigil tonight on Wonderland Avenue in Laurel Canyon.

Who was liberache?

That’s Mr. Liberache.

I confuse him with Marc Christian, Rock Hudson’s lover, who also died young.

[quote]Boober!!

Or was he Booberloober and Liberace was Boober? I can't remember which.

"I love you, Booberloober!" is something even I wouldn't say to my cat.

Variety.

Who was Rock Hudson?

Jim Nabors’s husband, R27.

Google is free, CZJ!

Wasn't he in prison?

Preceded in death by his parents.

Thanks, r31! I needed a laugh this morning! Bless you.

favorite scene

It's too bad he never managed to get his shit together. While Liberace doesn't deserve 100% of the blame for Scott's depressing life of hard drugs and crime, I still dislike him for pulling an 18 year old of the real world for 5 crucial years and then throwing him back in without a trust fund. Liberace just HAD to date a barely legal teenager. Not a nice man, imo.

He appeared hung like a mule which is why Lee wanted him,

Michael Douglas played Lee like he was imitating Templeton the Rat from Charlotte’s Web.

Thomson was a scumbag. He was never the innocent youth depicted in the movie. He was always a drug taker. He always knew scummy people. He was liberaces conduit to drugs and big dick. He never fucked Michael Jackson. He is a dyed in the wool liar. Lee liked youth and Thorson would procure youth for Lee. The movie was scant truth.

*Thorson

R19 That’s “Billy”, not Jigsaw. Jigsaw is a human character.

Jigsaw! They are one of my favorite one hit wonders!

I have to be frank, r37. When you throw around prissy phrases like "drug taker" and "he (18 year old Scott) always knew scummy people", you sound like a sexless, butt-ugly queen who probably would have loved to have been friends with Nancy Reagan. I'm confident you have never done a single fun thing in your entire life. You probably refuse to masturbate because you think cum is gross.

He fucked Michael Jackson? Was he over the age of 12 at the time?

He didn't fuck him. He beat it. I'll be here all week folks.

Thorson is quoted in this article about "Boogie Nights" and what Thorson knew about the Wonderland Murders.

I bet he had John Holmes' giant cock in his mouth at least once.

Scott didn't have AIDS? Didn't one of Liberace's lovers die of AIDS?

R45 I don't think so.

You may be thinking of Rock Hudson's ex, Marc Christian, who sued Hudson's estate after his death for not disclosing to him that Hudson had AIDS.

Christian never developed AIDS, but he still died fairly young at 56.

He was relatively good looking when he was younger, before all the horrible plastic surgery to make him look more like Liberace. But face it, he was little more than a street trash hoodlum. Liberace must have had the hots for trade dick.

That relationship was just more evidence of how stupid some people are to think that the luxurious and classy lives they see most celebrities living on TV is completely different than the lives they're really living. Many of them are just gutter trash with money.

Frankly I thought he'd died of terminal cancer years ago.

Damn. He died before I could ask him if I could have his stuff.

I wonder how many boyfriends Michael Jackson had, even just sex partners. I am talking about in his late teens and twenties, presumably before he realised that he preferred little boy.

Wasn’t there a story about him having sex and taking drugs at Studio 54?

R50 they lie...they lie. They made it up.
