Almost all the parts were true. They just combined different events that happened into one movie.
The way he stormed out due to a heated conversation about his spending with Vernon and Cilla did happen.

The Donut shop happened 100% like the movie filmed it, on this Washington DC trip, only it's probably the Elvis version of the story after telling it so many times.

The guns on the plane happened too on this trip.

The gun falling out his boot in the bathroom happened later on, when Elvis went to get his mug shot photo taken for his badge.

That whole, "Farley aka Sonny West" part was just put in for comic relief.

The Jerry Shilling AKA Bobby parts were for the most part all true.

The Army man that Elvis gave all his money or Jerry's money to did happened too.

The Sunset Blvd was supposed to be what happened during the 68 comeback. When Binder talked Elvis into going out without bodyguards to see if anyone would notice him.
The record store story happened during 1974 only it was at the movie theater when this girl you had to work late cause of him, was complaining about getting paid and telling Elvis he should buy her a car. She also said, he should try walking cause he was fat".

As for the meeting, there was a time they were in there alone and no one knows what went on. The conversation about the Beatles did happen. Nixon's assistant was in there at the time.

I hope this helped.

Really? Thank you for this, I had no idea, as I've only ever heard this story told by Jerry Schilling on a few documentaries, and it's a different version.:D
Per Jerry, they went straight from the airport to the hotel, where Elvis placed calls to the White House and elsewhere....
Again this was very interesting to read and thanks again for the breakdown.:)(y)

Also, there was no mention of Joyce Bova. The woman he was seeing on the side. She was one of his connections to the while house. She worked for them, she also had a twin sister.
He went to see her during this trip but wasn't mentioned

The premise of the movie is true and that is about it. You really think Elvis held up a donut shop at gun point?

Anyway, very funny movie if you don't take it seriously. One of the best.

He didn't hold up a Donut Shop. They were about to mug him for his rings. I've read this many times in books written by his bodyguards. They had said Elvis loved telling the story. He pulled his gun out because he felt his life was in danger.
This movie was what they call a "Mockumentury"

As far as being a comedy actor, I felt Rick Peters did a good job. I gave up on EPE trying to find actors that look like Elvis to play him in a movie, a long time ago.
I think they want to set out an impression that, no else can look like him. Other than Micheal St Garald, Johnny Harra and in some parts, Kurt Russle.
I believe that the actor who played him the newest series was an awesome actor, it was just the that 2nd half of the mini serious took a rush turn. I get the point they were trying to make. That he was fustrated with Hollywood.
Rick Peters in my opinion was perfect for a movie that was not suppose to have been taken serious, like Bubba Ho Tep.

I'm telling you, I've read this story more than once. I know for sure it's in, Allanna Nash' book.
"The Revelations of the Memphis Mafia", quoted by, Marty Lacker, Lamar Fike and Billy Smith.
Also at the time the movie came out I was talking to Marty Lacker and he said, he didn't like the movie but the Donut shop story did happen and

No, Wayne Newton was NOT his friend. He called him, one of those people who became Elvis' friends after he died.

I have that book I don't remember that part, but again none of those guys were there, Sonny was and he never mentioned it, Jerry was, he's never said anything of it, and I have a book by Lacker "Elvis Portrait of a Friend" and he didn't mention that part at all. Jerry gave live interviews and he never mentions it.
I have several books that go into detail and those parts just aren't there.
On what page in the Revelations book is that passage so I can re-read it...but honestly I don't believe it, for the reasons I stated above. Not saying that your wrong, nothing of the sort, I just don't believe their acct. of it as they tell it now.

Uh-huh. Well, you just continue to believe that.

Elvis met Wayne several times, usually in Vegas. They were not close friends, or overly buddy-buddy, but they were friends. Wayne attended several Elvis shows in Vegas as well. Various sources, the MM etc, mention the backstage meetings.

"During the Vegas slayday, Wayne spent quality time with the greats. 'When I first met Elvis, we had so much in common and became fast friends. It was something I was sure would be there forever, and when he passed away, it left not only a void as a friend, but also as a fan.' Wayne sings a handful of Elvis tunes almost every night. They're real crowd-pleasers. 'He's still here with me; I can do his music and sing his songs. The same with Frank. We became--thank God--wonderful friends, and I miss him terribly, but maybe it's just part of the fantasy...for me, they're not really gone. They're just in a different place.' "

Suzan
11-12-2007, 05:08 AM
I always heard that as well Getlo...they weren't like close buddies but they visited when both were in Vegas. I've not ever heard Wayne Newton to claim any more of the friendship then that.

From Caught In A Trap by Gilbert Garcia, New Times Music, January 21, 1999.

Excerpted from a New York Times interview.

"As an example Guralnick relays a story he omitted from the book, of Elvis stopping at an all-night donut shop in a seedy part of Washington, D.C., a few nights after his December 21, 1970, meeting with Richard Nixon. He begins to show off his gaudy jewelry and belt to the shop's patrons, explains that the International Hotel in Las Vegas presented him with the belt, and suddenly pulls out a gun, saying 'This is what says I get to keep it.' Several of Elvis' aides claimed to have witnessed the event, although Guralnick's research suggested that most of them could not have been there at the time. Strangely, after insisting that they saw the incident take place, two of these sources called Guralnick back and said that, after much thought, they both realized that they had not been at the donut shop but had simply heard Elvis tell the story so often and so vividly that they eventually came to believe they had seen it with their own eyes."

So Elvis said it happened ... but did it really?

If Elvis Presley had held up a donut shop in a Washington D.C. ghetto, don't you think some of the patrons there would have come forward to tell the story? Or called the police? Something?

C'mon people, Elvis quite often exagerated stories to get a desired reaction from people. Just because he MAY have told the story doesn't mean it happened. It does, however, make for a hilarious scene in a movie.

Yes.

In fact, the first time I ever heard anything about this was from watching the movie we're discussing. I can't recall anyone, anywhere mentioning this story, even if it was exaggeration on Elvis' part. And it's not in any books that I can recall, either. And it's not mentioned as part of the Elvis-Nixon section of the Elvis After Dark exhibit at Graceland, either; and that has a lot of video footage of Jerry and others talking.

Everything else about the Nixon trip has been discussed: the argument with Vernon, storming out of Graceland, the commercial flight, the Vietnam soldier on the plane, the White House meeting, everything else.

But the donut shop story? I don't think it happened, personally.

But stranger things have happened ...

Another point is that Elvis was in Washington for only about 24 hours, from late on December 20th to late on the 21st.

And since he spent most of the 21st at the hotel waiting for the call to go see Nixon, I'd suggest this donut shop tale is yet another fairytale that's been added to the Elvis story over the years.

Again, I seriously doubt it happened.

Well, I know the sky is blue, but I don't know how to prove it.

Maria, Lucy and her *****ic claims were debunked years ago. She supposedly received cards and letters from Elvis (none of which she kept, funnily enough) and - according to her - Elvis sent her secret hand signals from the stage, including during Aloha. :lmfao:

The woman, quite clearly, is deranged. :blink::blink::blink:

Seriously, just Google her. She's not to be taken with any amount of credibility at all.

However (and this has been discussed on other threads, so no need to go off on another tangent) her daughter Desiree could very well be Elvis' child as the resemblance is uncanny. But the rest of her story about their ongoing relationship is complete fabrication. She was, at best, a one-night stand.

Honey, I don't have anything to back up my belief that alien abduction is crap as well ... but it is!

This is the last time I will post on this thread about Lucy, as it's :offtopic:, but:

* she has no proof at all that she even met Elvis;
* she kept no gifts that he supposedly sent her;
* she kept no letters and notes that he supposedly sent her;
* she has given erroneous dates, especially in the 70s. She said she was with Elvis somewhere, when records show he was elsewhere;
* and again, she says Elvis sent her hand signals from the stage during Aloha! What more proof do you need of this woman's lunacy? ;)

If you want to believe in this fairytale, go right ahead. But you might as well believe in Santa Claus as well.

OFF TOPIC: from original thread.



Actually, she does have something.
A friend of mine believes her. That's his business ....;)
I don't make fun of others beliefs .

If you believe Elvis actually gave that to her, I have a bridge over Sydney Harbour I'd like to sell you.

No sense of humour ,no sense of humour .
That card, {whatever} is in her book.

That bridge is too far to bother with. Thanks anyway.:)

That signature looks as fake as a $4.00 bill to me....

As Getlo has said, Lucy is a fake...plain and simple....

Yeah, she is Looney Tunes. You just have to listen to her for a minute to figure that out. I never for a minute believed she had any relationship with Elvis and never heard before that she met him on his DC trip. Again, another fantasy.

Lucy is a woman who created a fantasy in her own mind, convinced her daughter of it and made her 15 min. of fame.
I don't think she's loony, lol, she knew what she wanted and knew exactly how to obtain it.;) LOL

Yes.

As I said, I've always believed Desiree is Elvis' child (the resemblance is simply too spooky) but the story about the relationship and an ongoing thing is just b.s.

She was a one-night stand, maybe two or three, and she is a complete fantasist.

Hmmm. So much for me not posting anymore re Lucy! ;)

Yes Desiree does resemble Elvis but then how many other men and women in this very populated country could we say this about?

Sorry, after reading Lucy's book she lost all credibility with me. Had she not written it in the style she did which ran like a fantasy love story and the several things she said Elvis said and did which did not remotely sound like him or like anything that he was known to do, she might have convinced me.

I'm sorry. I didn't believe Lucy's story either.
The dates she gave just didn't work out .
She is a beautiful girl though.

Yeah I dont believe her. If she really thought that this kid was Elvis' daughter she would have stepped up to collect $.

Though I don't believe that Desiree is Elvis daughter, I don't see the resemblance at all and would like to see her less heavily made up.:)
