The flamboyant pianist met Scott Thorson, 17, in 1976 and hired him as his companion, which resulted in a five-year romantic relationship. In 1982, however, Liberace was tainted with scandal after Thorson filed a $113 million palimony lawsuit against him. The two settled out of court in 1986 and Thorson said he reconciled with Liberace shortly before the entertainer's death in 1987. Thorson’s later memoir about the relationship, Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace, was adapted into the HBO movie that aired in May with Matt Damon as Thorson and Michael Douglas playing Liberace.
