My tired beautiful boy 🥹

(This took place during the mid 1960s so the photos would show what he would have looked like around that time)

“Colonel used to check Elvis out before the movies. Not only for the drugs, but for his weight. And boy that used to aggravate him. Elvis would get so mad he’d sputter. He’d say, ‘g**d*** two pounds overweight! Who gives a shit?’ But Colonel would come back and say the camera picks up every ounce. He’d tell Elvis, ‘If you look fat, your fans aren’t going to love you, and neither are the producers.’”

-Marty Lacker

*Marty also mentioned that the Colonel or Hal Wallis would send Hal’s sister over to sweet talk Elvis and she’d put her arm around his waist while talking to him. Elvis soon figured out she was trying to feel how much fat he had around his waist*

“My personal desire was for Elvis to marry Ann. She made his life a little easier because she understood him and didn’t make any demands on him. She even understood his needs for us (the Memphis mafia). Priscilla never understood that.” -Billy Smith (Elvis’ cousin)

“One evening I had been in Lisa’s room and was walking down the hallway with the intention of going downstairs. As I walked past Elvis’s bedroom, I saw both sets of doors were open, leading into his room. I happened to glance into the room and saw him sitting in the middle of his bed. He saw me at the same time and said, ‘Hi Jeanne. Come on in for a minute.’ Linda was in her bathroom, with the door closed and I walked into his dim and sat down in the corner chair and we began talking. He had just received from a fan a large full sized cut out poster, mounted on something like cardboard, of the famous picture of him and his parents when he was a young boy. It had been placed in his bedroom, next to the TV, near the foot of his bed and he and I began discussing it. Our conversation soon turned to his deep love for his mother and he began telling me the story of how she had died just prior to him being sent to Germany. ‘She, uh, died while I was still in training down in Texas, ya know. I came home on an emergency leave and, uh, she was in the hospital and all, and she died in the middle of the night. I sure have missed her all these years. She was the light of my life.’ His eyes misted slightly as he told me the story. I could feel his sense of pain and despair years after her death. He went on to explain that after her death he was eventually shipped overseas to Germany and how hard it was trying to adjust to life without her over there. He was in the middle of telling me the story about how he tried to cope in Germany and that’s when it happened. ‘Luckily,’ he was explaining, ‘I had access to a Jeep and I would sometimes go off by myself and just sit somewhere in that Jeep and think about her for hours at a time. I remember I drove up into some nearby mountains one night, you know, just to get away and was sitting there thinking about her and began crying. I yelled out, ‘Momma’…. And when he said the word momma, the lights went out in the house. They stayed off for a few seconds and then came back on and he went on with his story as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. He has this look on his face as if he was totally unaware of what had just happened. He said it a second time (momma) and again the lights went off and came back in as if a storm had struck the house. The second time it happened Linda came rushing out of her bathroom. ‘What in the world is going on? Why are the lights going on and off?’ She wanted to know. I did my best to try to explain to her what had happened, not really knowing myself and she and I walked back into her bathroom, clearly shaken up, having no idea what had just taken place. We’ve talked about that story several times since it happened and still have no logical explanation for it.” -Jeanne LeMay Dumas (Linda Thompsons best friend)

“We had made love in our own special way every time we were together but this was the first time we actually came close to physically having sex. Elvis was slowly and gently beginning to enter me when we heard a tap, tap, tap at the door. ‘Who is it?’ Elvis yelled after making sure I was covered. The unlocked door opened. It was Lovie (Gladys-June called her Lovie). ‘I heard all the laughing in here and then I didn’t hear anything but quiet. I just wanted to tell you that maybe we should get June something to keep her from having too many babies,’ Lovie said, smiling at us both but also being very serious. Elvis looked like a little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar.” -June Juanico

Don't usually share pictures but this was too good not to share. Upon hearing the release of the book, Elvis: What Happened? Concert promoter and friend of Elvis, Paul Lichter, wrote Elvis this letter. We can hope Elvis read this before he passed. The letter is dated August 11, 1977. Picture is Elvis and Paul.
