Ann-Margret and Elvis met
in 1964 while filming Viva Las Vegas. They had a brief affair until Col Parker stepped in and demand Elvis end the relationship. Long after that
Elvis would always send Ann-Margret flowers in the shape of a guitar whenever she opened her show. Elvis nicknamed her “Thumper” and it
was her code name when she called Graceland Ann-Margret was Elvis' favorites co-stars. They remained good friends for many years.

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/OR 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.
