George Liberace was born on July 31, 1911 in Menasha, Wisconsin. He was the brother and business partner of Liberace. He appeared regularly on his brother's television show in the 1950s as violin accompanist and orchestral arranger. On occasions when he did not appear, Liberace would often say "I wish my brother George was here." He died on October 16, 1983. Photograph caption dated March 13, 1962 reads "Mrs. William Van Gieson, left, Woodland Hills; Mrs. Robert Blair, Mission Hills." The article partially reads "'Flight into Fashion,' coordinating international fashions with international travel, will theme the American Association of University Women's Fellowship Fashion show to raise funds for graduate study for outstanding women students of the world." George Liberace will headline the musical entertainment.
