Outrageous entertainer and flamboyant pianist whose stage and television career spanned 40 years, Liberace (Academy Award® winner Michael Douglas) lived lavishly and embraced a lifestyle of excess. In the summer of 1977 handsome young Scott Thorson (Academy Award® winner Matt Damon) walked into his dressing room and, despite their age difference and seemingly different worlds, the two embarked on a secretive five-year love affair. Behind the Candelabra captures the essence of Liberace's appeal while taking a behind-the-scenes look at their tempestuous relationship. The film also features an all-star supporting cast that includes Emmy® and Academy Award® nominee Dan Aykroyd, Golden Globe® winner and Emmy® nominee Scott Bakula, Golden Globe® nominee Rob Lowe, and Academy Award®, Golden Globe® and Emmy® nominee Debbie Reynolds.
