Sheila Ryan

[marijaep]

:D Hi everyone :D

I was wondering about you opinion on Sheila Ryan.
There's no wonder what she was pretty, but I don't really like her because of the way she is telling the stuff...she seems very cold...
It's like, she didn't care about the relationship.....I got this feeling in "Careless Love", where she says that she didn't consider her relationship with Elvis romantic....but that he did. He would sing to her on the balcony of the hotel....isn't that romantic? :blink: lol

Another thing...In one documentary (The Ultimate Elvis Collection)I think, she does the same thing, she speaks with no emotion about him....
I'm sure it wasn't that BAD lol
Maybe I am wrong, tell me if I am :lmfao:

Oh yeah, and she looked weird in that documentary too :blink::lmfao:

:hug:, Marija

[malc07]

Well Marija.
In my opinion she seemed a cold hearted b***h.
I think she just wanted all the trimmings that was associated with Elvis.but didnt want to commit at the same time...this is only my opinion,but I got the same feelings that you got reading "Careless Love" too

[marijaep]

Well Marija.

Glad to hear that we share the same opinion Malc :clap::D


(I'll buy you a pizza for this! :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:)

[malc07]

LOL Marija....
Cheese and Bacon......*whisper* but dont tell the others...hehehe LMAO

[Getlo]

Are you nuts?

Sheila Ryan was one of the hottest women Elvis ever dated, probably second only to Linda, IMO, and only just.

She knew going in from the very beginning that it was no huge romance, and that it wouldn't last too long.

As for her interview on the Definitive Elvis DVD set, I think she looked fantastic - especially for a woman in her fifties!

Here is an interview from Elvis Australia (via Elvis World Japan).

Well, i said she looked pretty!!!! lol :lmfao:

[jak]

I give her credit for leaving Elvis on her own terms.She was realistic about her relationship with Elvis.She was around at a time when Im sure it was very trying at times to be with him.
Jak

[ReGina_89]

I agree with Jak.. i dont think she loved Elvis she was just having fun on her own terms as well

the DVD I have with her being interviewed, she was in a tank top and no bra and her "nips" were standing at attention - in my opinion - that is totally trashy....I said this in the thread I started after I watched this DVD. I do know the MM said they liked her and she did not try to get stuff from Elvis like others did.....and yes Getlo for her age - she does look good.

"Trashy"? I didnt think so.They were worthy of a salute since they were standing at attention.Must be a guy thing I guess.
Jak

[ksimms2]

I just read her article and she is contradicting what she says on the DVD interview about their sex life......but.....whatever. They all seem to change their stories to suit the moment.

there is not much i like about her - i think like many others she makes her role in elvis' (love-) life a bit bigger than it probably was.

once read an interview with her - think it's the one on 'elvis australia' - and she could not even speak one grammatically correct sentence. either she was completely stoned or her IQ has always been that low.

i remember that afterwards i really wondered what on earth elvis could have found attractive in her ... except her liberal attitude in their relationship. he certainly did not go for her intellect :blink: - because there is none. well, maybe she just acted as a kind of makeshift.

Not me...I'm an angel...(with a tarnished and broken halo, of course....:P:P)


In all honesty, I don't like Sheila's attitude that she puts forth in the documentary...and I frankly don't think she looks that good, either....

:hug: I totally agree with you Ellie(y):hug:

the point i was trying to make is that..looks are not everything ...
To some guys ME included..Its whats on the inside that counts...
I would sooner be with someone who is a plain jane but has a kind heart,and is honest and warm..than a stunner who is self centred and selfish.etc..:hug::D:hug:

[Getlo]

i think like many others she makes her role in elvis' (love-) life a bit bigger than it probably was.

How so, exactly? She has never said she was a huge love of Elvis, nor that he was a terribly huge love in Elvis' life.

She seems rather bright actually, and she makes Cilla look like bloody Einstein in comparison! And no, it wasn't the Elvis Australia interview: I pasted that link earlier.

I'd be interested to see what interview you're referring to. If you have it, please past a link ... so we can judge for ourselves if Sheila was, in fact, incoherent.

I'm also wondering Ellie (and others if they wish to respond) why you feel comfortable slagging off Sheila like this ("either she was completely stoned" etc), yet if someone said something similar about Elvis, you'd be all over them.

Know for a fact that Sheila takes / took drugs, do you?

[malc07]

Well said Marija..HUGS!!!

[malc07]

In reply to you Gelto..
We are just voicing our opinions..like others do...some people seem to keep attacking Elvis,and defending everybody else that was ever involved with him...
and as I said in another post...these people will not win in their efforts to discredit him.:D:clap::king::hug:

[Donut]

he certainly did not go for her intellect :blink: - because there is none. well, maybe she just acted as a kind of makeshift.

You have to keep in mind that she got hit in the head by a grape thrown at her by Elvis. Maybe she was brighter before that incident.

:lol: oh my goodness! Now THIS is funny!!!!! I dont have anything against her. I've never read her book, so can't comment on that. She has contradicted herself though Getlo in the interview link you posted vs. the DVD interview I have as far as their sex life goes. That is only thing I have to say about her - other than yes I thought she looked trashy during the interview - she could have wore a bra and still worn the tank top - but no - she had to flash everyone and her high beams were on! (trying to be tasteful here....) ;)

:hug: malc,

good to hear that some guys agree with us gals :). as a woman i do not find sheila very attractive - she's not ugly, maybe pretty, but far from beauty and somewhat trashy. but to each her own.

plus even women who have inner beauty can be not too ugly outside as well - let's say, for example, audrey hepburn was a phantastic lady who certainly had both kinds of beauty and - above all - she had CLASS. may she rest in peace.

CLASS is something mrs. ryan is lacking 100 %.

hugs, ellie

[Getlo]

It's Miss Ryan, actually.

I shall remember these baseless, undiginified attacks and laughter about her perceived intellect next time someone jumps on posters here for offering opinions about Elvis which may not be too popular.

The hypocrisy is genuinely astounding to me ...

[Getlo]

CLASS is something mrs. ryan is lacking 100 %.


Based on what, exactly?

And before you answer "spilling the beans about their love life", I have one word for you: Priscilla.

"but far from beauty and somewhat trashy" - Jealousy, thy name is woman. :hmm:

[presley31]

what does priscilla have to do with this thread??

[ksimms2]

Getlo, I'm suprised that this woman has made such an impact on you that you would defend her so. I can only go by what I saw on that interview.....trashy....sorry. She did not look respectable at all - like I said - wear a bra for cripes sake. Has nothing to do with jealousy as far as I'm concerned atleast. I was actually embarrassed for her while watching.

While Priscilla is not my favorite person (nor my least favorite) she certainly presented herself in a much more respectful manner. Even Linda Thompson who dressed so scantily looked nicer. I guess it's hard to describe what I mean.....but being a man - probably the more hanging out the better for you guys.....

[Donut]

Well, I don?t dislike her and I don?t think Elvis was looking for an intelligent woman either then or early in his life, but I think she was since she knew what Elvis was expecting of her and didn?t see the relationship as a big romance. He was with Linda and others during that time too so we can?t blame her for talking cold about him. Not for everyone had to be necessarily a pleasant experience meeting him...

[EDOEP]

How so, exactly? She has never said she was a huge love of Elvis, nor that he was a terribly huge love in Elvis' life.

she announced to write a book about her relationship with elvis. if she only was an occasional bed-fellow .... how can she fill a complete book with it? :hmm: except by exaggerating her part?


She seems rather bright actually, and she makes Cilla look like bloody Einstein in comparison! And no, it wasn't the Elvis Australia interview: I pasted that link earlier.

she seems 'bright'? are we talking about the same person?

in order to make cilla look dumb it does not need a lot - i remember to have seen an interview clip where cilla gave a camerateam a tour through GL (historic landmark ceremony) and told in the music room that on this piano lisa-marie as a child was practising 'beethoven's 5th symphony' :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao: (or was it the 9th? can't remember). that much as to mrs. beaulieu's level of education :'(. watch out, glenn gould and artur rubinstein. lisa's hot on your heels ...


I'd be interested to see what interview you're referring to. If you have it, please past a link ... so we can judge for ourselves if Sheila was, in fact, incoherent.

i'll post it seperately - was on EWJ. i remember it that well because i translated the entire interview for a german forum - was pretty complicated, no structure in the sentences and low vocabulary.


I'm also wondering Ellie (and others if they wish to respond) why you feel comfortable slagging off Sheila like this ("either she was completely stoned" etc), yet if someone said something similar about Elvis, you'd be all over them.

i am wondering that you are wondering .... i dare to say so because it is my opinion ;). i personally have no experiences with drugs (unless icecream and cake do count into that category) but i've seen interviews with the likes of keith richards etc. - hence people who confess their drug abuse. there was a striking similarity in the way they acted and articulated.

plus - unless i am completely mistaken - the discussion in the german forum following the posted translation some user mentioned that she took drugs - at least at times and had told so in an interview as well. she also must have looked rather weird in that TV show.

should i find the reference, i'll post it for you.


Know for a fact that Sheila takes / took drugs, do you?

no, but see above.

ellie

[malc07]

And in any case...who would offer opinions about ELVIS that would not be too popular..
those opinions would actually be read on another site,,,and not one that is loved by ELVIS FANS...miss or mrs makes no difference to me...
Lets not compare MISS RYAN to cilla...a

[presley31]

Well, I don?t dislike her and I don?t think Elvis was looking for an intelligent woman either then or early in his life, but I think she was since she knew what Elvis was expecting of her and didn?t see the relationship as a big romance.

I think elvis could of done better when he choose this one.

interview with sheila ryan on EWJ (03-07-2006)

source:
http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~presley/elnews256.htm

Q : When was the first time you met Elvis?

A : The first time I met Elvis I was in Las Vegas and Joe Esposito brought me backstage after I think it was the second show of the night and he came out of the dressing room and there was a waiting room outside of the dressing room. And he came out and he had this towel wrapped around his neck and there were, I don't know, maybe thirty people in the room and he walks out and the first thing that he does, I mean, the first thing that happens is our eyes meet, you know. And everyone noticed that, particularly the girl that he was seeing at the time. I mean, it was just sort of but that once in a lifetime magical thing, you know. He just walks out of the room and boom, you know what it's like. A magic. And I knew right at that moment, you know, just like this - knowing that I think most women have, but I certainly did have at that time in my life and I knew that I was gonna spend a lot of time with him.

Q : So you clicked instantly?

A : Instantly. I did, doesn't happen any more instant than that happened. It was fate.

Q : Did Elvis throw a grape at you?

A : Oh, yeah, He did throw a grape at me, yes, and I'm still not sure actually why he threw that grape at me. Joe Esposito has said that he threw it at me on purpose so that he could have a reason to come over and talk with me. I thought that he threw it at Joe for bringing, you know, an attractive woman and it was a jealousy kind of a thing. I thought, but I'm still not sure to this day and I don't know that I ever will be, really.

Q : What were Elvis's first words to you?

A : Elvis's first words to me were, "I'm sorry." I mean, really, it was an amazing shot, actually, you know. He's probably fifteen feet away and I was playing cool because, after that first look, you know, I didn't really need to know anything else that night. His girlfriend was there. I wasn't gonna make a scene, you know, but how he flung that grape and hit me right between the eyes, in the forehead, it is amazing to me.

Q : You're probably the only woman in the world who's been in that situation.

A : It hit by a grape, yes.

Q : Did you start talking that night?

A : No, I didn't get to talk with Elvis that night. Other than when he came over and he kneeled down and was apologizing and apologizing and apologizing and I was feeling uncomfortable because I knew that his girlfriend was watching and there was no mistake in what was going on between the two of us. It was, you know, one of those things. So he then got up and had to leave and, you know, be with the rest of the people in the room and so I took my cue and left. You know, almost immediately. Asked Joe Esposito to walk me out and so I didn't get to talk to him that night.

Q : When was the next time that you saw Elvis?

A : I had been in an apartment and I was changing apartments and, as I said before, at that time in my life, I just had a knowing, I knew things. You know, so my phone was disconnected for two days because I was transferring from one apartment to another and I knew that Joe was desperately trying to reach me. I just knew it and as soon as the phone was connected, I mean, the phone man was there and he put the thing in the thing and the phone rang and it was Joe. And, you know, I just said, "Hi, Joe." And he said, "God how did you know it was me? Where in the heck have you been and boss is just like," you know, he was just like not angry but frustrated that he hadn't been able to reach me for two days and I just kinda laughed. And he said, "My boss likes you and he wants to see you."

Q : Did you go on a big date with Elvis?

A : Yes, I went on a big date with Elvis. Big, big date. It lasted about two years. That's a big date.

Q : What were the type of things that you would do?

A : Elvis and I used to hide, you know. We would sneak out in the middle of the night and go get ice cream and it was like helicopters and the armed guard would come out and, you know, seek us out and hold us at gunpoint and be like, get back to the hotel. Of course, I'm exaggerating, but, yeah, we did, you know, just tried to be little kids, bad little kids. And he entertained me. The second night that I was there, our second evening together, he took me out on the balcony of the International Suite, you know, the big suite in Las Vegas that was sort of his home when he was in Las Vegas. And he sang to me. And he would sing a lot and we would read and have fun. We did have fun.

Q : Was there a special song?

A : Yes, well, you know what, there was a song that I loved and it wasn't a song that he sang. The song that he sang to me the first night, oddly enough, was a song, it was a single that I bought when I was maybe thirteen and I bought it and I was so proud of it. It was all the money I had, ninety-nine cents, you know. And I put it up on the counter and I was just looking at it and the name of it, oh, don't you just hate that. Anyway, it slipped behind the counter and I was devastated.

Q : What were the qualities you saw in Elvis that touched you?

A : Elvis had qualities that no other human being has, had, will have. Some of them are so hard to describe because the charisma, the qualities that he had were almost not of this world, you know. They were, a lot of times, angelic. He knew things before I knew things. He knew things that I was feeling before I was feeling them. He was very much a little boy, had that little boy quality and I've often said, you know, before I met him, he had that smile and everyone interpreted that smile to be his sexy look. And it wasn't that at all. It wasn't a sexy look. It was his innocence, his vulnerability. It wasn't at all something that he turned on and off. It was just, you know, just vulnerable.

Q : Elvis had a tender heart?

A : I don't think that there's another person, although, again, I mean, you know, let's face it. The man was just not normal, you know. The biggest joy that he had was in giving and I didn't really understand it that much at the time. But it was what brought most joy to him was to give.

Q : What meant most to you in your relationship with Elvis?

A : The thing that meant the most to me in my relationship with Elvis was that it was different than relationships that he had had with other women in that I wasn't the nagging, jealous. And I'm not saying that all the women that he was with were nagging and jealous but I didn't try to change him. I mean, I didn't expect him to be monogamous. When he would go away, I knew that he was gonna be with another woman and when he would come back he would tell me about what happened. And we would laugh because, you know, I was secure in knowing that, I mean, I wasn't a jealous. I'm still not a jealous person. And so what was most different about my relationship with him is that he didn't have to explain. He didn't have to be afraid. He didn't have to hide, although he did hide some things. I mean, it wasn't completely an open book but.

Q : Was it a really passionate relationship?

A : Our relationship was passionate and I'm surprised to hear that women that I know, because at the time there were basically two. And then, you know, there was myself and then Linda Thompson and we were sort of you know, running the race and we were, at first, you know, he was seeing her and then I came along and then it was sort of like a horserace, you know. We were neck and neck and then I fell behind and then she, you know. But I'd heard that he didn't have a lot of intimacy with women. That mostly he did, you know, a lot of talking and staying up and reading and we had a very active passionate romantic life. Sometimes more than I was ready for, prepared for. I, you know, sometimes I was tired and it was no, no, no. So, you know, yeah, I'm really, really surprised to hear that other women had, you know, a problem with the amount of intimacy and sex and.

Q : And then sometimes you kept him up by reading to him?

A : Yeah, he would have me read to him until he would fall asleep and then I would sort of like really slowly close the book and lean over and put it on the bedside table and then I was so excited because then I got to go to sleep and I'd just be coming back and put my head on the pillow, it was too late. But, oh, what, Keep reading. I was like. Oh, okay. I was, really I was.

Q : Forgive me if this isn't you.

A : Oh, I know what's coming.

Q : Elvis wanted everybody to get their hair dyed in the middle of the night?

A : In the middle of the night, Elvis wanted his hair dyed. And so he wanted me to do it. He didn't want Charlie to do it. And I don't think Charlies really ever lived that down.

Q : Talk about Elvis's playfulness.

A : Yeah, he had this laugh. He and Joe Esposito would sometimes get together before all the people came over. And they'd be in the den and I'd be there and Elvis would start telling jokes. And then Joe would start telling jokes and sometimes it was interesting because they would finish each others sentences and so Joe would tell a joke and then Elvis would finish the joke and then they would start laughing. And he would get carried away and he'd start hitting me on the leg cause you know how someone will hit themselves on the leg when they're hysterical laughing. And, you know, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, like that. And he was like. He would, my leg is like, you know, just kind of welting up a little bit. And then he used to have a good time with Ricky, his stepbrother. And he had this sword thing that he would do with Ricky. I don't know if you've heard about that.

Q : Tell us about that.

A : Okay, there was a trick, I mean, and I don't even, you know, he could do things that were really not normal, that were not, I mean, you could always feel safe no matter what he was doing. You would always feel like there were angels around or something. But he had these two, I don't know what kind of knives or samurai or huge, huge like each knife was about that long. And he'd take the two of 'em and he'd say, "Ricky, go get me my knives." Well, Ricky would just break into a sweat and he'd turn all red, "No, please, not the-- I'll do anything. Please don't make me do that. Don't make me do that." So he'd take these two knives and he'd go into his kind of karate mode, you know, and he would go [NINJA SOUNDS]. Up and down his body, missing him by, you know, just little and never touched him but and, you know, of course, that we all thought that was funny but Ricky didn't think it was funny.

Q : He was probably sweating.

A : Yeah, yeah. That was funny. And just, you know, there was this one thing. He had that all the guys had all these jokes between them and one of them was that and that meant something. And I probably shouldn't say what it meant. But it was funny.

Q : You can say.

A : It would mean "**************** you."

Q : Did you get that?

A : And, I mean, you know, the whole group, everybody, Elvis and Joe and Jerry and Ricky and just whoever was around, it was just always laughter. Just did it all the time and there were jokes. I remember one time we were going to the Memphian theatre. We were going there and on the way, you know, they would say, so we're going to the Memphian, no, the Memphuan, no the Memphieuian, the Memphalpheu. You know, and so then that would just like, you know, spin off into something ridiculous. And then I would always need to wear somebodys coat because I forgot to pack mine and Jerry Schilling always ended up having to give up his coat. So, you know, it was like, "****************, Elvis, why can't you just buy your girl some **************** clothes," you know. And just lighthearted and, you know, on the spot, it's hard to think of some of the things but call me tomorrow and I'll tell you the rest. But there's just a lot.

Q : Would Elvis run several pictures a night?

A : When we would go to the Memphian, it would the Memphalpheu. We wouldn't go until late. And usually, I don't know. I think his personal best was eight movies. I mean, one time I think I sat through three but that was the most that I had ever had to endure. It was Bruce Lee's "Kung Fu Fighting" or "Enter the Dragon" or one of those.

Q : What other type of movies did Elvis like?

A : Yes, "Dr. Strangelove." And all the Clouseau.

Q : Peter Sellers films?

A : Yes, so Elvis really loved Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films.

Q : Did you do things like "Do you have a rhoom?"

A : "A rhoom." Yeah, he would say, "Guys, we are going to our..." No, no, no, no that's a different accent. "We are going to our rhooms. Our rhoom. Sheila Marie and I are going to the rhoom." Yeah.

Q : Did you ever just go out the two of you?

A : One time we were gonna go for a ride in the yellow Pantera and I was petrified because, you know, he just didn't go slow, you know. I was worried because he didn't drive that often cause we were always in a limousine and it was late and it was dark and we were on the Mississippi interstate. It was what and he's in this car and I'm there and it's just the two of us and I'm like, okay, I don't know how to be just the two of us, you know. And he was like lit up, you know, like a Christmas tree. His eyes were like they could be, you know. And we were going seventy-five and I'm thinking, okay, you know, I can deal with seventy-five. And then eighty-five and ninety-five and a hundred and thirty.

We were going a hundred and thirty and I'm thinking and then he goes, "Here, you take the wheel." And takes his hands off and I was like, "Please, that's not funny. Please." And I was like begging him and I was really scared. I was really scared and but yet I was just a side of him that I didn't see often. Carefree, you know, he wasn't on the job, he wasn't working. He wasn't at Las Vegas and he wasn't doing shows. So he was just having a good time and when we saw those gates with the musical notes on them, I was like, huh and I was really happy to be back.

:hug:ELLIE..:hug:

Some people think that I am (how shall I put it) "MAD."
just because I believe that women should be treated with respect,and that I stick up for them on a lot of things,and run us men down...well I dont give a ****************,what they think..
to me women are the most beautiful creatures on this planet,and deserve to be treated with love and respect...and if that makes me "MAD "and not"one of the boys then thats just tooo bad... :hug::hug::D

[EDOEP]

Based on what, exactly?

And before you answer "spilling the beans about their love life", I have one word for you: Priscilla.

"but far from beauty and somewhat trashy" - Jealousy, thy name is woman. :hmm:

based on my opinion, getlo, based on my opinion ... :blink: and my own definition of 'class'.

i am far from being 'jealous' at mrs ryan. she has nothing worth to be jealous at .... plus i am far from being ugly myself:). it's rather unlikely that i will ever lower myself to sheila's level - in any respect imaginable.

ellie

ps what has priscilla to do in that context?

[Donut]

I think elvis could of done better when he choose this one.

Don?t be so sure. Check this link and pay attention at minute 8:55.

[EDOEP]

You have to keep in mind that she got hit in the head by a grape thrown at her by Elvis. Maybe she was brighter before that incident.

:lmfao:

good one, donut :hug:.

now, HERE we got the explanation .....

[presley31]

Don?t be so sure. Check this link and pay attention at minute 8:55.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh95mfUVcWA

thanks donut but l thought this thread was all about Sheila Ryan :hmm:

I do think elvis could of done better when it came to Sheila Ryan.

[Getlo]

what does priscilla have to do with this thread??

Oh, do please try to keep up, presley31. There'll be a test at the end, and you'll fail! ;)

I was anticipating the possibility that Ellie would say that Sheila was trashy because she spilled the beans about her and Elvis' love life. And ... are you following me here? ... in anticipation of that possible answer, I put forward the word Priscilla because ... now here's the hard bit ... Priscilla did that too. Get it? Got it? Good.

I haven't yet read Ellie's latest response, so the point is probably moot.

(big sigh ...)

[Getlo]

Getlo, I'm suprised that this woman has made such an impact on you that you would defend her so.

She hasn't. I don't know Sheila Ryan from Eve.

What made the impact was the blatant hypocrisy of some posters willing to tear shreds of a woman based on one interview, implying that she took drugs ... when all these same posters do is jump on critics of Elvis for doing the same thing.

if this was a 'sheila ryan' forum, i would understand your inputs .... since it is an 'elvis presley' forum - they are lacking logic, IMHO.

ellie

PS the 'based on one single interview' ..... see above. you are WRONG in that respect.

PPS since you seem so good in 'anticipating' ... maybe you could anticipate the outstanding contents of the book - a content that's worth 1000 pages.

Thanks ellie for posting that information.

[Getlo]

she announced to write a book about her relationship with elvis. if she only was an occasional bed-fellow .... how can she fill a complete book with it? :hmm: except by exaggerating her part?

Oh, did she? :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao: I have some news for you Ellie. Sheila is publishing a book about her whole life! She dated Elvis, yes. But that's not the whole story. She married James Caan and had a child with him. Was a Playboy model. Modelled all over the world. She is known outside the Elvis world as well. Elvis will be a chapter or two at most. Where do you get your info from??? :lmfao::lmfao::blush:;)


'beethoven's 5th symphony' :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao: (or was it the 9th? can't remember). that much as to mrs. beaulieu's level of education

No idea what you're talking about here ...


i remember it that well because i translated the entire interview for a german forum - was pretty complicated, no structure in the sentences and low vocabulary.

... which may have been the fault of the journalist who wrote the article. You would only be able to criticise Sheila ... or Cilla if you had seen them acting incoherently. You can't judge by what someone has written!


i've seen interviews with the likes of keith richards etc. - hence people who confess their drug abuse. there was a striking similarity in the way they acted and articulated.

Mindboggling. It really is. A "striking similarity" in their behaviours? Do tell. No, on second thought, please don't. Were there any similarities between Keith, and Elvis in his 1972 Aloha press conferences???


unless i am completely mistaken - the discussion in the german forum following the posted translation some user mentioned that she took drugs

Some user said it ... ah, so it must be true then. Case closed!



at least at times and had told so in an interview as well.

Then please post the reference if you have it. And be very specific in what you post. And be fair. "Experimentation" with drugs isn't full blown use either. And does she make reference to using drugs with Elvis, or during her time with Elvis, or indeed while filming the DVD interview we have all seen?

In short, obviously everyone will have different imptressions of people in interviews etc. What's trashy to some will be attractive to others. But to attack this woman in such a nasty way - when you all get pissed off when people judge Elvis without all the facts - is just bizarre!

Okay, so she's written 1000 pages; probably more than a couple of chapters then. Perhaps - when the time comes for publication- then I will stand corrected. But not now.

well, i think it's useless to explain to you .... like someone (BBM?) said in another thread: you seem to have significant problems in accepting that other members do not share your opinions. i would like to add that you give the impression of mainly argueing because you like to argue or because you dislike another user ... and for that my time too precious. this is why i will stop the discussion with you here (not with others).


Some user said it ... ah, so it must be true then. Case closed!

well, these users are pretty down-to-earth and normally don't tell nonsense. why should they do in that very case? guess i know them better than you do. or have you ever been a member of that group?

And does she make reference to using drugs with Elvis, or during her time with Elvis, or indeed while filming the DVD interview we have all seen?

yes, she does make a reference, see above. she obviously sais on TV that she and elvis took 'cocaine' together.

attack that woman in such a nasty way???? well, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer and she's trashy. this statement may not be polite, but looking at her 'f***' comments and her other choice of words it's unfortunately impossible for me to regard her as classy, cultivated and intellectual.

my fault, of course ... :P

[EDOEP]

Do you even bother reading posts to which you respond? I posted a link to this interview in comment #5!!

Indeed.

Getlo pretty soon you'll be talking to yourself!! lol.....you are very strong in your opinions I will say and do tend to go after people who don't agree with you.....but....usually you are right - atleast in my book. I hate to see you guys argue though. Ellie thinks Sheila is trashy (okay so do I) and you think she's hot so does jak - so can we let it rest now? PULEEEEZE??? :blink:

[Getlo]

I will say you do tend to go after people who don't agree with you.....

I go after people who a) attack me first (there is not one single thread on this forum where I have attacked someone without them having made a ******** remark at my expense first) or b) hypocrites who apply one rule to themselves and one rule to others, eg the "Walk a mile" brigade who won't apply the same rules to Elvis as they do to the MM; and the ones who launch blatant attacks on people (like Elvis!) who aren't here to defend themselves. And if anyone is wondering (and if they are, i'd have to seriously wonder why! :lol:) I am the same in real life. I have a very low tolerance for b.s and hypocrisy.


but....usually you are right

Well, that's not for me to say. But ... yes! :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

(sigh)

But, back to the topic at hand. Whatever happens, I will definitely be hunting down a copy of Sheila Ryan's book if ever it materialises, but I can't see it being made into a movie somehow! ;)

She respected Elvis, despite what many think.

yes, I never said she did not respect Elvis....she even "teared up" when speaking of him so I could tell she cared. Personally I just think she could have made herself look a little classier than she did. I'd say that is my biggest gripe about her....I thought it cheapened her by the way she presented herself.....she could have used that opportunity to make herself look nicer, more respectable. (but maybe she didn't want to???)

[marina]

Maybe she was getting Elvis the drugs??

[Getlo]

this statement may not be polite, but looking at her 'f***' comments and her other choice of words it's unfortunately impossible for me to regard her as classy, cultivated and intellectual.

Mmmm, just terrible, isn't it? Fancy a woman using the f-word! Shocking!!

Elvis used the f-word too, and quite regularly.

Obviously, he lacked class, cultivation and intellect as well, eh? :hmm:

[Getlo]

Maybe she was getting Elvis the drugs??


What? he had Dr. Nick, Dr Ghanem and a whole cadre of suppliers for that!

interview with sheila ryan on EWJ (03-07-2006)

source:
http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~presley/elnews256.htm

Q : When was the first time you met Elvis?

A : The first time I met Elvis I was in Las Vegas and Joe Esposito brought me backstage after I think it was the second show of the night and he came out of the dressing room and there was a waiting room outside of the dressing room. And he came out and he had this towel wrapped around his neck and there were, I don't know, maybe thirty people in the room and he walks out and the first thing that he does, I mean, the first thing that happens is our eyes meet, you know. And everyone noticed that, particularly the girl that he was seeing at the time. I mean, it was just sort of but that once in a lifetime magical thing, you know. He just walks out of the room and boom, you know what it's like. A magic. And I knew right at that moment, you know, just like this - knowing that I think most women have, but I certainly did have at that time in my life and I knew that I was gonna spend a lot of time with him.

Q : So you clicked instantly?

A : Instantly. I did, doesn't happen any more instant than that happened. It was fate.

Q : Did Elvis throw a grape at you?

A : Oh, yeah, He did throw a grape at me, yes, and I'm still not sure actually why he threw that grape at me. Joe Esposito has said that he threw it at me on purpose so that he could have a reason to come over and talk with me. I thought that he threw it at Joe for bringing, you know, an attractive woman and it was a jealousy kind of a thing. I thought, but I'm still not sure to this day and I don't know that I ever will be, really.

Q : What were Elvis's first words to you?

A : Elvis's first words to me were, "I'm sorry." I mean, really, it was an amazing shot, actually, you know. He's probably fifteen feet away and I was playing cool because, after that first look, you know, I didn't really need to know anything else that night. His girlfriend was there. I wasn't gonna make a scene, you know, but how he flung that grape and hit me right between the eyes, in the forehead, it is amazing to me.

Q : You're probably the only woman in the world who's been in that situation.

A : It hit by a grape, yes.

Q : Did you start talking that night?

A : No, I didn't get to talk with Elvis that night. Other than when he came over and he kneeled down and was apologizing and apologizing and apologizing and I was feeling uncomfortable because I knew that his girlfriend was watching and there was no mistake in what was going on between the two of us. It was, you know, one of those things. So he then got up and had to leave and, you know, be with the rest of the people in the room and so I took my cue and left. You know, almost immediately. Asked Joe Esposito to walk me out and so I didn't get to talk to him that night.

Q : When was the next time that you saw Elvis?

A : I had been in an apartment and I was changing apartments and, as I said before, at that time in my life, I just had a knowing, I knew things. You know, so my phone was disconnected for two days because I was transferring from one apartment to another and I knew that Joe was desperately trying to reach me. I just knew it and as soon as the phone was connected, I mean, the phone man was there and he put the thing in the thing and the phone rang and it was Joe. And, you know, I just said, "Hi, Joe." And he said, "God how did you know it was me? Where in the heck have you been and boss is just like," you know, he was just like not angry but frustrated that he hadn't been able to reach me for two days and I just kinda laughed. And he said, "My boss likes you and he wants to see you."

Q : Did you go on a big date with Elvis?

A : Yes, I went on a big date with Elvis. Big, big date. It lasted about two years. That's a big date.

Q : What were the type of things that you would do?

A : Elvis and I used to hide, you know. We would sneak out in the middle of the night and go get ice cream and it was like helicopters and the armed guard would come out and, you know, seek us out and hold us at gunpoint and be like, get back to the hotel. Of course, I'm exaggerating, but, yeah, we did, you know, just tried to be little kids, bad little kids. And he entertained me. The second night that I was there, our second evening together, he took me out on the balcony of the International Suite, you know, the big suite in Las Vegas that was sort of his home when he was in Las Vegas. And he sang to me. And he would sing a lot and we would read and have fun. We did have fun.

Q : Was there a special song?

A : Yes, well, you know what, there was a song that I loved and it wasn't a song that he sang. The song that he sang to me the first night, oddly enough, was a song, it was a single that I bought when I was maybe thirteen and I bought it and I was so proud of it. It was all the money I had, ninety-nine cents, you know. And I put it up on the counter and I was just looking at it and the name of it, oh, don't you just hate that. Anyway, it slipped behind the counter and I was devastated.

Q : What were the qualities you saw in Elvis that touched you?

A : Elvis had qualities that no other human being has, had, will have. Some of them are so hard to describe because the charisma, the qualities that he had were almost not of this world, you know. They were, a lot of times, angelic. He knew things before I knew things. He knew things that I was feeling before I was feeling them. He was very much a little boy, had that little boy quality and I've often said, you know, before I met him, he had that smile and everyone interpreted that smile to be his sexy look. And it wasn't that at all. It wasn't a sexy look. It was his innocence, his vulnerability. It wasn't at all something that he turned on and off. It was just, you know, just vulnerable.

Q : Elvis had a tender heart?

A : I don't think that there's another person, although, again, I mean, you know, let's face it. The man was just not normal, you know. The biggest joy that he had was in giving and I didn't really understand it that much at the time. But it was what brought most joy to him was to give.

Q : What meant most to you in your relationship with Elvis?

A : The thing that meant the most to me in my relationship with Elvis was that it was different than relationships that he had had with other women in that I wasn't the nagging, jealous. And I'm not saying that all the women that he was with were nagging and jealous but I didn't try to change him. I mean, I didn't expect him to be monogamous. When he would go away, I knew that he was gonna be with another woman and when he would come back he would tell me about what happened. And we would laugh because, you know, I was secure in knowing that, I mean, I wasn't a jealous. I'm still not a jealous person. And so what was most different about my relationship with him is that he didn't have to explain. He didn't have to be afraid. He didn't have to hide, although he did hide some things. I mean, it wasn't completely an open book but.

Q : Was it a really passionate relationship?

A : Our relationship was passionate and I'm surprised to hear that women that I know, because at the time there were basically two. And then, you know, there was myself and then Linda Thompson and we were sort of you know, running the race and we were, at first, you know, he was seeing her and then I came along and then it was sort of like a horserace, you know. We were neck and neck and then I fell behind and then she, you know. But I'd heard that he didn't have a lot of intimacy with women. That mostly he did, you know, a lot of talking and staying up and reading and we had a very active passionate romantic life. Sometimes more than I was ready for, prepared for. I, you know, sometimes I was tired and it was no, no, no. So, you know, yeah, I'm really, really surprised to hear that other women had, you know, a problem with the amount of intimacy and sex and.

Q : And then sometimes you kept him up by reading to him?

A : Yeah, he would have me read to him until he would fall asleep and then I would sort of like really slowly close the book and lean over and put it on the bedside table and then I was so excited because then I got to go to sleep and I'd just be coming back and put my head on the pillow, it was too late. But, oh, what, Keep reading. I was like. Oh, okay. I was, really I was.

Q : Forgive me if this isn't you.

A : Oh, I know what's coming.

Q : Elvis wanted everybody to get their hair dyed in the middle of the night?

A : In the middle of the night, Elvis wanted his hair dyed. And so he wanted me to do it. He didn't want Charlie to do it. And I don't think Charlies really ever lived that down.

Q : Talk about Elvis's playfulness.

A : Yeah, he had this laugh. He and Joe Esposito would sometimes get together before all the people came over. And they'd be in the den and I'd be there and Elvis would start telling jokes. And then Joe would start telling jokes and sometimes it was interesting because they would finish each others sentences and so Joe would tell a joke and then Elvis would finish the joke and then they would start laughing. And he would get carried away and he'd start hitting me on the leg cause you know how someone will hit themselves on the leg when they're hysterical laughing. And, you know, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, like that. And he was like. He would, my leg is like, you know, just kind of welting up a little bit. And then he used to have a good time with Ricky, his stepbrother. And he had this sword thing that he would do with Ricky. I don't know if you've heard about that.

Q : Tell us about that.

A : Okay, there was a trick, I mean, and I don't even, you know, he could do things that were really not normal, that were not, I mean, you could always feel safe no matter what he was doing. You would always feel like there were angels around or something. But he had these two, I don't know what kind of knives or samurai or huge, huge like each knife was about that long. And he'd take the two of 'em and he'd say, "Ricky, go get me my knives." Well, Ricky would just break into a sweat and he'd turn all red, "No, please, not the-- I'll do anything. Please don't make me do that. Don't make me do that." So he'd take these two knives and he'd go into his kind of karate mode, you know, and he would go [NINJA SOUNDS]. Up and down his body, missing him by, you know, just little and never touched him but and, you know, of course, that we all thought that was funny but Ricky didn't think it was funny.

Q : He was probably sweating.

A : Yeah, yeah. That was funny. And just, you know, there was this one thing. He had that all the guys had all these jokes between them and one of them was that and that meant something. And I probably shouldn't say what it meant. But it was funny.

Q : You can say.

A : It would mean "**************** you."

Q : Did you get that?

A : And, I mean, you know, the whole group, everybody, Elvis and Joe and Jerry and Ricky and just whoever was around, it was just always laughter. Just did it all the time and there were jokes. I remember one time we were going to the Memphian theatre. We were going there and on the way, you know, they would say, so we're going to the Memphian, no, the Memphuan, no the Memphieuian, the Memphalpheu. You know, and so then that would just like, you know, spin off into something ridiculous. And then I would always need to wear somebodys coat because I forgot to pack mine and Jerry Schilling always ended up having to give up his coat. So, you know, it was like, "****************, Elvis, why can't you just buy your girl some **************** clothes," you know. And just lighthearted and, you know, on the spot, it's hard to think of some of the things but call me tomorrow and I'll tell you the rest. But there's just a lot.

Q : Would Elvis run several pictures a night?

A : When we would go to the Memphian, it would the Memphalpheu. We wouldn't go until late. And usually, I don't know. I think his personal best was eight movies. I mean, one time I think I sat through three but that was the most that I had ever had to endure. It was Bruce Lee's "Kung Fu Fighting" or "Enter the Dragon" or one of those.

Q : What other type of movies did Elvis like?

A : Yes, "Dr. Strangelove." And all the Clouseau.

Q : Peter Sellers films?

A : Yes, so Elvis really loved Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films.

Q : Did you do things like "Do you have a rhoom?"

A : "A rhoom." Yeah, he would say, "Guys, we are going to our..." No, no, no, no that's a different accent. "We are going to our rhooms. Our rhoom. Sheila Marie and I are going to the rhoom." Yeah.

Q : Did you ever just go out the two of you?

A : One time we were gonna go for a ride in the yellow Pantera and I was petrified because, you know, he just didn't go slow, you know. I was worried because he didn't drive that often cause we were always in a limousine and it was late and it was dark and we were on the Mississippi interstate. It was what and he's in this car and I'm there and it's just the two of us and I'm like, okay, I don't know how to be just the two of us, you know. And he was like lit up, you know, like a Christmas tree. His eyes were like they could be, you know. And we were going seventy-five and I'm thinking, okay, you know, I can deal with seventy-five. And then eighty-five and ninety-five and a hundred and thirty.

We were going a hundred and thirty and I'm thinking and then he goes, "Here, you take the wheel." And takes his hands off and I was like, "Please, that's not funny. Please." And I was like begging him and I was really scared. I was really scared and but yet I was just a side of him that I didn't see often. Carefree, you know, he wasn't on the job, he wasn't working. He wasn't at Las Vegas and he wasn't doing shows. So he was just having a good time and when we saw those gates with the musical notes on them, I was like, huh and I was really happy to be back.

I THINK SHE WAS NICE.SOUNDS LIKE ELVIS HAD A GOOD TIME DURING THEIR RELATIONSHIP.SHE'S PRETTY TOO

[Tony Trout]

I THINK SHE WAS NICE.SOUNDS LIKE ELVIS HAD A GOOD TIME DURING THEIR RELATIONSHIP.SHE'S PRETTY TOO


She used to be pretty....she hasn't aged well at all...

[ElvisChick]

I just got finished with watching The Final Chapter of Elvis and i agree, Sheila does seem very cold about her relationship with Elvis. Like she seems to take it for granted or something. She talks about how she thinks that only special women is Elvis' life got to go to Graceland and that she must have been really special. I dont know about her she seems a little conceited about her relationship with Elvis. After watching it im starting to rethink weither or not i will buy her book when it comes out!

[Diane]

I wasn't impressed by her at all either. She did seem very cold...certainly had not real love for Elvis, just wants everyone to remember that she was with him at one time.....(n)

Diane

[Getlo]

Yeah, and I'm sure Elvis was with her because he really loved her ... right? :doh:

The point is, you can't judge Sheila by this one interview - that's like judging Elvis by, say, the footage from his drug-addled Aloha press conferences. In other words, it's unfair.

Perhaps she's shy? Uncomfortable being interviewed? Maybe it was recorded at the end of a bad day? As far as I know, this is the only recorded interview with her about Elvis.

By all accounts, from people who were there at the time, Sheila Ryan was bright and funny. She never had any illusions about being a great love of Elvis' ... far from it in fact.

[Diane]

You could very well be right Getlo but all I had to go by was the interview I saw and I said "seemed", I wasn't passing a judgment set in stone.

I know the MM really liked her and they said she wasn't one of the gold digging ones...that he had to practically force her to take his gifts...which they liked about her. She knew that their relationship was just a "thing" until he got tired and knew he was not going to be faithful....she did not make any demands from him in that area - which is another thing the MM liked about her....she knew the score from the get go......

[cameron]

She just doesn't look like Elvis' type.

[Getlo]

She just doesn't look like Elvis' type.

She was female, cute and had a pulse.

Ergo, she was Elvis' type!

Despite his seeming obsessions with Debra Paget, Cilla, Ginger et al, Elvis didn't have a certain type of woman anyway.

Just look at the wide variety of women Elvis bedded and had relationships with: different looks, personalities etc.

There was no specific type he liked.

[presley31]

she was just another girlfriend.

[ksimms2]

she was just another girlfriend.

she was just another piece of *** is more like it.....unfortunately, that is what Elvis seemed to mostly be about in the beginning. BUT, there are stories from ex girlfriends that toward the end - they would wind up just talking most of the time - he just wanted that female companionship in bed with him - not sexually. Which makes me think back to him sleeping with his mom for so long - do you think he needed that comfort in his life? (no I don't mean sexually with his mom either).....just wondering.....he loved his mom so much and it hurt him so bad when she died.....I wonder if him needing a woman in his bed with him while he slept - if it stems back to that? And the fact he would have horrible nightmares & sleep walk. Sort of like he was afraid of sleeping alone since childhood.

Sorry this got off the Sheila Ryan topic didn't it.....oops....:blink:

[Getlo]

she was just another piece of *** is more like it.....


No, that's unfair.

Elvis chased a lot of tail, especially in the early years, and there were more than a few one-nighters.

But he was with Sheila on and off for 18 months or so. She was with him in the recording studio, he introduced her as his girlfriend from the stage many times, had her at Graceland etc.

Much more than a piece of *** I'd say.

She just seemed a bit like an old country song.
" I Like My Women On The Trashy Side" ....
That wasn't nice , I just couldn't help myself. ;)

[Getlo]

No, it wasn't nice. It was kind of pathetic, actually ... (n);)

You're the first one to jump up and down to scream blue murder when anyone unfairly runs down Elvis, yet you do exactly the same to people who don't meet your standards.

Elvis chose to be with her. So if she's "trashy", what does that make him??

[presley31]

whats so special about this woman you need to defend??

[Getlo]

whats so special about this woman you need to defend??

Perhaps the question should be, what's so special about the likes of cameron that they can run Sheila down based on nothing but an interview, and presumably jealousy that Elvis was with her?

As I said previously, I don't know Sheila Ryan from Eve. Obviously, everyone has different opinions about her. But what really gets my goat is the arrogance of posters who take the piss out of certain Elvis people but then get all offended when someone says something critical of their precious Elvis.

The whole "Sheila must have been on drugs" part of this thread sickened me.

Pathetic, as I said ... (n)

[rocknroll]

Too many people that worship the ground Elvis walked on. THAT is what is pathetic. It clouds any clear, rational thinking when it comes to subjects such as this - or his competition, or his falacies, or just about anything that relates to him.

[cameron]

It's interesting to watch how people react, when they're treated the same way they treat others .
Psych.101 .Interesting reactions.

Sheila, on the other hand appears to be her own person .
I'd say she can take care of herself...unlike Elvis who is dead.

[Getlo]

I concede Getlo, you are certainly right, she must have been more than a piece of tail....she was around for almost 2 years and he did introduce her to the audience as his girlfriend. I apologize for saying she was a piece of *** only to him.....:doh:

[Getlo]

I apologize for saying she was a piece of *** only to him.....:doh:

No apologies to me are necessary, ksimms2 ...

Some like her and some don't, you can't change how people feel about things.

[utmom2008]

the DVD I have with her being interviewed, she was in a tank top and no bra and her "nips" were standing at attention - in my opinion - that is totally trashy....
