Liberace v Daily Mirror is a 1959 English legal case in which the American entertainer Liberace sued the Daily Mirror columnist William Connor for libel after Connor, who while writing under the pen name Cassandra, published an article strongly hinting that he was a homosexual. At the time homosexual sex was illegal in the United Kingdom. Liberace was successful in the action and was awarded £8,000. The award was the largest libel settlement for any case in British legal history to that date. The Argus has described the case as "one of the most sensational libel trials of the century".
