WHAT HAPPENED TO ANITA WOOD, ELVIS' FIRST GIRLFRIEND?
They dated for a while after Elvis got back to the States, but
when Priscilla came to Graceland they stopped seeing
each other. Today she lives in Texas and refuses to give
interviews. I don't blame her. Recently a collector paid
$8,000 for a love letter Elvis wrote to Anita. She doesn't
know how the letter got to Christie's because she burnt all
Elvis' letters before she got married in 1964.
YOU ARRANGED DATES FOR ELVIS?
Yes, yes, I'm not ashamed of that... So many of his female
fans were so eager just to meet him... I suppose in a way, I
made many girls, dream come true. And because Elvis was so
famous he couldn't just go out on a normal date. Everything
was arranged to the finest detail. I don't feel bad, because
it was not bad. Most of the time, Elvis would just sit around
with three or four girls and read to them in his hotel suite.
I think he just needed to be reminded that his fans still
loved him.
IN HER BOOK "THE INTIMATE LIFE AND DEATH OF ELVIS" DEE PRESLEY
MAKES SOME ASTONISHING ACCUSATIONS. IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO HER
CLAIMS THAT ELVIS COMMITTED SUICIDE?
Towards the end of his life, Elvis may have been
self-destructive by taking all those drugs. But no way did he
consciously end his own life. I was constantly with Elvis
during the last months. Sure he was fascinated by the
after-life and he did talk about what it may be like in the
spiritual world... But Elvis loved life. He lived to perform
on stage. The night before he died, he was planning a concert
tour. Dee Presley was no longer living in Memphis at the time. All
her claims are lies and based on hearsay.
DEE ALSO CLAIMS THAT ELVIS WAS FORCED TO
MARRY PRISCILLA - A WOMAN HE DIDN'T LOVE - AND THE
HORRIFYING NIGHT ELVIS RAPED HER...
Strange that Elvis should go to all the trouble to send for
Priscilla, and have her live at Graceland, if he was not in
love with her. Elvis might of been pressured by Priscilla's
parent to marry, but Elvis was not the sort of man that would
do anything he didn't want to do... And the time Elvis
supposedly raped Priscilla, well, Cilla herself wrote that in
her autobiography, Elvis and Me. Why
Dee would want to recap
on such ugly old news beats me?
WHAT
ABOUT THE OUTRAGEOUS CLAIMS THAT ELVIS HAD AN INCESTUOUS AFFAIR
WITH HIS MOTHER AND THAT ELVIS WAS GAY?
Those terrible claims are coming from a very bitter and angry old
woman. I wonder if she is getting back at Vernon, because he wrote
her out of his Will?. Vernon left her nothing!
Now I can understand why Elvis was always skeptical of Dee, and why Elvis did
not attend their wedding... We all know Elvis and his father had a
loving and warm relationship right up till the very end. Sure,
Elvis was very close to his mother. I don't believe, for one
minute, there was anything going on between Elvis and his mother.
As I don't believe
Vernon would even have
even made such a horrendous claim to
Dee
... The Elvis gay
theory makes me laugh. Elvis loved woman! And women loved Elvis!
Being so very handsome, I suppose some gays took a fancy to Elvis
too... I remember in
Hollywood
, while making Fun
In Acapulco some gay (who was an extra) made a pass at Elvis.
Elvis got so angry, he stormed off the set and instructed, Red
West to find the guy and punch his lights out...
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO DEE PRESLEY IF YOU SHOULD MEET AGAIN?
Of
all the fabricated stories to have emerged since Elvis died,
this book is the worst - ever! I'm shocked! I'm disappointed
that it came from
Dee
. A woman that bears
the Presley name. And after all that Elvis did for her three
sons, David, Billy and Rick. I hope and pray that
Graceland
and Priscilla
Presley will make an official statement to the press to
discredit Dee
and her ugly book.
Personally, I would like to see Priscilla take Dee Presley to
court for defamation. Maybe that will stop other people from
writing such obscene stories about Elvis in the future.
