It lacks the feathered, vaguely defined flamboyance that's still sure to come, but above is the first photo of Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as Liberace's companion and alleged lover Scott Thorson, snapped on the set of HBO's Behind The Candelabra—the biopic that is quite possibly Steven Soderbergh's final film. Of course, Douglas really looks more like a Roy Orbison/Mike Brady/Joe Pesci-in-Casino hybrid here, but that's Liberace for you: the Everyman.  [via The Huffington Post]
