“They sometimes played cards into the early-morning hours, when Presley would ask her to slip into a flouncy, yellow baby-doll nightie he had bought her. “I wasn’t crazy about them but he just loved them.” Anne Helm said laughing.”

“He really liked sex. A lot of nights I didn’t go back to my own bungalow. I felt a little ashamed about it the next morning, because I knew that people on the set realized what was going on.” But, Helm added, “I have to tell you, I had fun. And it was special.”

I had to close the book and regroup after reading this. great for you anne, totally not jealous or anything 😭

(excerpt from “Down at the end of the lonely street” by Peter H. Brown, highly recommend btw. so many rare interviews and stories, it’s a much much better version of BLPH by Alanna Nash)
