This is one lady I don`t like. There`s alot of hate on this forum for Priscilla and, supposedly, some of negative things she has said about Elvis. What about the trashy and negative things Linda has said????

what negative things?

[shelley.m.]

I think Linda was the best thing to come along after Priscilla left Elvis.

[renapap05]

I agree.(y)(y)(y) She helped him a lot to get away from drugs and bad habits.

I really like Linda and I have never heard her say a negative thing about Elvis. Of all Elvis` women she is my favorite! She was good for Elvis and really cared for Lisa Marie.
Tell us the negative things she has said because I would like to know what they were.;)

[Jumpsuit Junkie]

If it hadn't been for Linda we would have lost Elvis a lot sooner!

[shelley.m.]

Linda greatly cared about Elvis.She left him because she didn't want to see Elvis slowly killing himself with the pills etc...

[midnight]

That is true Shelley. Unfortunately no one could of saved Elvis at that point in his life except Elvis' himself and his own willingness to seek help. And we all know how that story ends.:'(

[jeanelvisgirl]

I thought that was wonderful...she said so many things that got to me...like - he was childlike - it was his charm and his downfall....I have always liked Linda and thought she really loved him

Thank you for posting these clips - I just watched them all and they really moved my soul.......

[midnight]

I really enjoyed those clips too. I love listening to her stories about Elvis. thanks for sharing!

[Donut]

Linda was the best girl in Elvis' life. She stood by him for some of the worst years of his life which makes some of his other women complaints look ridiculous by comparison and yet she always talks about him with a smile on her face . I don't think any other girl cared so much for him as Linda did and I've never heard any of those around him say a bad word about her.

Will you please provide sources for us? As you can see, most of us here loved Linda Thompson. I know I sure did....I wish she had been able to stay with Elvis, things might have turned in a different direction.;);)(y)(y)(y)

[piretos]

I believe that Linda was the best thing that ever happened to him after Priscilla. Thanks for posting these Ale!!!

[memphis69]

I REALLY LIKE LINDA TOO. I THINK SHE WAS GOOD FOR ELVIS AND WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF HIM. I WISH THEY HAD MARRIED AND HAD A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY TOGETHER. AND SHE HAS ALSO KEPT A GOOD FRIENDSHIP WITH LISA THIS SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHAT A GOOD PERSON SHE IS.

[Lainey]

I agree that if Linda had not have been in Elvis' life, he may have died earlier. I am grateful to her for taking such good care of him. He needed someone in his life who truly loved him.

[WHITETIGERMAN]

I think that Linda was the best woman for him.She did look after him more than the others.I enjoy listening to her stories as well.My wife thinks that they just didn't look like they belonged together.To each his or her own.....not everyone thinks or likes the same thing.It's great that we can speak how we feel.

[dstrattenfan]

I agree as well I have never heard Linda speak ill of Elvis..sure as hell can't say that about Pris:cursing:

I think if E would have married Linda he may still have been around today...She says that one of the reasons she left is because he wouldn't marry her...The other reason was because she couldn't stand to see him basically kill himself slowly..It's like taking care of a cancer paient..I took care of my grandpa when he had cancer and that was the hardest thing I have ever done, to slowly watch him die knowing that there wasn't anything I could do to save him:'(

I myself would like to know the sources of the "trashy" things Linda has said about E

[presley31]

I like linda but in no way do l think that elvis was going to marry her or anybody else again. Elvis and linda were already moving on from eachtogther before she left and she also found some comfort in someone else so that means she must of been loney and needing something more than elvis could give her, she turly is a blessing in elvis life, but i don't really think elvis loved anybody he was with not a deep love that would make him stay faithful for years to come and that was also one of linda problems which she got more strength them me cause l could of put up with or lived with it.

[laura17]

she was the best

[ForeverTheKing]

If it hadn't been for Linda we would have lost Elvis a lot sooner!

I agree (y)

Se was surely young but very responsable and I think she really cared about Elvis "the human being".

I liked those interviews...you can say her feelings when she talks about facts...of course for her it's something concerning "the past" but it seems to be real :P

You are right......I think she cared about the man............I truely believe that we would have lost Elvis alot sooner than 1977 if it had not been from her.

[Patricia Fonseca]

Linda was the best woman for Elvis.:king:If she was his wife and not Priscilla Elvis was happy and not cared for drugs. But when she arrived to his life unfortunately was so later:'(

[Teddy]

But he was hitting the drugs harder than ever when he was with Linda, wasn't he?
Linda might have done a good job of keeping him alive while he was 'using' but I think history has shown that a relationship with her didn't stop him taking them.

This is probably an unpopular thing to say but the only significant woman in Elvis's life with any direct influence on his drug-taking (albeit unwittingly) has to be his mother- she was the one who actually took them!
No offense intended to Gladys, of course, but if we must blame a woman for Elvis's substance abuse.....

[dstrattenfan]

There is no fate but what we make for ourselfs....

U can't blame Gladys....U have to blame Elvis he is the one that was abused the drugs......

I have had substance abuse issues myself..I used to get high and pop pills with my brother who introduced me to pills...But it was not his fault, that I continued to take the drugs...I am the one that was to blame it was my choice to do these things even when I knew it was wrong!!!!

That is simple transference "o well I saw people doing drugs so thats why I did them." Thats a load of BS U have to take responsibility for ur own actions...My mother was raised around drunks and drug addicts, but she has never drank or taken drugs....I on the other hand turned to drink to solve my problems

This is a very sore subject for me because I lost my brother to drugs I found him dead on the floor he was only 35..I couldn't save him, that wasn't up to me (no matter how I wish it had been)

Sorry I started to ramble, it's just this subject is very close to home for me!!

[MissyM]

DStratten, your candor is admirable, and what you say is the truth 100 percent. I am born of two alcoholic parents. I have been around drinkers and people who abused substances my whole life, but never turned to them to deal with life. I take no big credit for that. And not for not wanting to believe me!
Because of my background, I became the "Savior", thinking that I could save/control my loved one's. It took me way too many years to understand that I couldn't. Only when I got help myself did I come to realize and learn to let go. Think that made me as sick as the loved one's I was trying to save. People have to find the inner strength they have deep down to want to turn away from the demon drugs/drink.
Unfortunately Elvis never did. And nothing anyone did could have given him that strength. Not the love of his life, daughter, or music.

Guess you should consider your self lucky than cause l followed in my mother addications and she was a hard drinker and on the drugs and l fought hard to overcome the need for these things, not everyone will follow in there parents footsteps, but some are born with addications and that is something that you can't live though so easy.

[MissyM]

I agree with that as well P31, because of genetics, I do feel that some have a much harder row to hoe when it comes to beating it. I do. And the one's who do, I admire so much.

You know what I don't understand Missy (and maybe you can shed some light on this for me as a family member) is that there was more than one occassion in the 60's and a fewer in the 70's that Elvis did stop taking drugs and functioned (according to his associates) beautifully. In fact, I was watching a Joe Esposito video that I posted last week and he mentions that the trip they took in 1969 to Aspen and that Elvis was happy and had stopped taking drugs. Sonny West talks of the return to Vegas in 1969 and the trip to Hawaii just prior, saying that Elvis was functioning without drugs, when they went to Hawaii in 1968 before the Comeback Special he cleaned up his act, Dr. Nick speaks of Elvis being weaned from drugs on his first trip in 1973 to detox.

[MissyM]

I believe it did happen. But statistics will tell you that it often takes several tries to finally get off them for good. We see this happen a lot. The cravings are strong. When anything goes wrong, or the person gets depressed, the craving make it difficult to not go back. IMO, I do think that's why many stayed in denial thinking that if he had the will power once, he would eventually kick it for good. There was always that hope. That's what ya do when you love someone, any shred of hope is what you hang on to.

Thank you Missy:blush:

Missy, as a family member maybe u can shed some light on the Linda topic...I happen to think she was the best for him, but I am not privy to the info like u are...Has anyone in ur family talked about Linda either being good or bad for Elvis?

[Broussey]

Would Love To hear your source!!!!! I think Linda was GREAT!!!

[MissyM]

The truth is that I heard that Billy and Jo thought a lot of Linda.
I heard other things about other women, by the rest, but nothing bad about Linda. I take that to mean, they liked her.

[WHITETIGERMAN]

I know that Red,Sonny,Marty,Lamar and Billy all agreed that Linda was the best one and Elvis would have not lived by 1977 had it not been for her.It's on All The King's Men video set.

[franny]

The truth is that I heard that Billy and Jo thought a lot of Linda.

Is it the truth when it's something you heard? Did you ever meet Elvis? Did Billy and Jo ever sit down with you and tell you anything directly about Linda, Priscilla or Elvis? Just because someone can state someone is nice, doesn't mean they are...

Btw, this is not against Linda, because she does seem nice...

One doesn't really know someone if you're only going by what you hear...not directing this to you in particular MissyM...;)

That's the same situation in the Priscilla thread where someone posted they read that Priscilla 'said' she had sex with Elvis only a certain amount of times. Priscilla didn't say that but since its 'published' then it becomes history and what began as an simple observation becomes gospel.

Btw, what book was this "statement" that Priscilla made, called?

Yes, once something is published then some readers do believe it...Some people even believe the gossip written in the National Enquirer :lol:

[ehollier]

I recently read that sometime after Elvis passed away, Linda was involved in a movie that parallels her life with him by the name of the "The King and His Beauty Queen" or something along that title. The author of this book (where I read about this movie) apparently didn't think very highly of Linda for being involved with with this movie about the King. I'll try and locate it and get back with the information.

last thing l heard about Linda's book was she didn't want to do it cause they want it to be juicy but linda didn't want that in there. i'am happy to hear that if that was the reason for not writing a book but l heard this on another forum so its hearsay till we hear different.

The same here..........it would be nice just to have a book about Elvis that's not all about his personal life.It would be nice to read more about all the events that took place surrounding his generosity...the highlights in his career........and the things that brought joy and happiness in his life.

[Unique Dog]

what negative things?

For starters, why would she tell the world about how she had to "save him from choking" to death after his head went into a bowl of soup because he "fell asleep" while eating it?
This comes from Linda herself.

[Unique Dog]

Linda greatly cared about Elvis.She left him because she didn't want to see Elvis slowly killing himself with the pills etc...


Is that why she cheated on him with a member of the band?

Ya! it would be nice to have a book written about all the good things that happened in Elvis' life but most people not all of them don't want to read that kind of stuff.They want to juicy sordid material to read and that's the sad part about it.

Unfortunately that is the sad reality of drug addictions. We all know Elvis had a drug problem and that is the types of things that do happen. At least she is not talking about the intimate details of their sex life or changing her stories when they are to her advantage. She stayed with Elvis a long time during the toughest periods in his life. I think her actions of sticking with him at the time she did, speak much louder than words. She has also continued to carve out a life for herself without selling herself on the basis of "I was Elvis' girlfriend". Lisa loved her and so did most of Elvis' family members and friends. I think that says a lot about her.

[midnight]

I never heard that one before.....

Linda had a fling with David Briggs....I think sometime in 1976.David was Elvis' electric keyboard player on stage and played on other sessions.He played piano on Love Letters which is the first session he played on with Elvis in 1966

[Merry]

You know, dearest Franny, that saying: "If you hear something three times, it must be true"? That seems to be the case sometimes, it bugs me.....grrrrrrrrr.....

Hi Shelley :bye:

You are so very right, I'm talking, generally. I placed a Google Search for "Good News" rather than when we read :'( You know what? One hit came up, and you had to pay to read: "Good News". :supriced:

I think in 1976 their relationship was pretty much over.

So whatever she has said, is excused? Sorry, it doesn`t fly with me.

How do you think she got the job on "Hee Haw"? It was because of her association with Elvis, she used it to her advantage.

[Unique Dog]

Since their relationship was "pretty much over" by the time she cheated on Elvis with David Briggs, the same can be said of Priscilla cheating on him with Mike Stone. If you`re going to give one a free pass, give it to all.

Seems like each woman waiting the correct/same amount of time before looking elsewhere for a lover.

[MissyM]

I noticed that too E. It seems like Elvis had a short shelf-life... so to speak. But there is that idea of the 7 year itch, Maybe it wasn't always seven years but it's like the excitement fades and boom, they are gone. Not that Elvis didn't play an equal part in it all though.

[Donut]

You have the right to not liking Linda and it really doesn't bother me but you can't compare anyone that have used their association with Elvis to their advantage (almost everyone of them) with Priscilla. They have used him at one time or another since he died but what Priscilla has done is making a career out of it. Col Parker must be really proud of her.

:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao:

Short shelf life.......that's really funny. You have a point, but I always thought it was more of Elvis didn't really know what do with himself when the 'fireworks' cooled down......know what I mean? It would seem that while the relationship was all new and fun, things were great, but when all that newness wore off, he just didn't know how to be comfortable. It's like he needed 'spectacular' 24/7 and would never settle for 'regular'. But all relationships are like that. Couples that endure (or don't include Elvis) adjust to those times and that's what you call a 'long-term' relationship.

Elvis and Priscilla's "bloom" may have stayed "on the vine" a little longer had they not been roommates for so many years before they actually married. And yes, IMO I feel like he was "getting the milk for free.":supriced::supriced::lol::lol:

I didn`t compare Linda to Priscilla in this post but, they are equals. They have both used their association with him to the fullest. They both cheated on him. Colonel Parker must be exceptionally proud of himself, if he were still alive, for teaching them the ropes.

I'm not so sure of that. She has sold an awful lot of things on eBay that either Elvis gave to her or that were his and she acquired them somehow. I still can't understand how she ended up with some of his clothes....

Diane

agree diane. IMO that half of a cigar doesn't strike me as something elvis gave to her :blink: His PJs are kinda odd to have too.

[utmom2008]

His PJs are kinda odd to have too.

Agreed. Besides....PJ's would have been entirely optional in my presence.:lmfao::lmfao:

[GraceeD1970]

I wish they'd married. She was such a sweetheart. Things would have been different as Priscilla wouldn't have had the sole title of having been married to Elvis.

[Unique Dog]

They have both used their association with Elvis to better themselves financially, but IMO Priscilla has used hers on a much grander scale.:blush:

IMO, they are equals. Priscilla has gotten slightly more attention because she`s his ex-wife and mother of his child. Whenever I hear Linda speak about Elvis and Priscilla`s relationship, she sounds like a bitter, jealous woman.

[Unique Dog]

Each got their own opinion of who they like and who they do not. You have yours and I have mine!


Agreed. ;)

I would be interested to see this interview, perhaps you could post a link to it :hmm:

[SleepyJack]

The way I see it....at the end of the day Elvis,for reasons best known to him, chose these women....and as time goes on it looks like he could have made some better choices! How much they exploit their connections with him...that`s neither here nor there.....basically,just expect the worst....especially in this day and age when fame and publicity are such valuable commodoties...it`s going to happen...whether it`s ex-girlfriends or people who have a dog who knew a dog that Elvis owned and might,possibly,have little droopy-eyed puppies that bark every time they see a picture of Graceland..... The world is gone mad. Oh Elvis,why didn`t you just "marry a girl like the girl that married dear old dad"?!!!:D:D

[memphis69]

Can anyone tell me how Priscilla felt about Linda when she was dating Elvis?

I thought i read that Priscilla thought that Linda was not taking proper care of Elvis when he was ill, and that Priscilla would not fly on the same plane as Linda when Elvis died?
And that she did not like the way Linda deocrated Graceland when she was living there.

I could be wrong. Feel free to clarify.

Rumors are going around that her mother told her to take some of Elvis`clothes on the day he died, because they "where going to be worth a lot of money one day"......well she saw that right. (n)

Supposedly Priscilla felt that Linda was good for Elvis. The Lisa Marie was flown to LA to pick up Priscilla, her family and a few others and fly them to Memphis for the funeral. Linda expected to fly on the Lisa Marie as well and she was turned away. According to some, Priscilla told her that the Lisa Marie was for family only. According to others, there was no room for her.
I`ve heard that Priscilla disliked the red look of Graceland that Linda did....I can`t blame her at all, it was horrid. IMO

The version that I am familar with is the one where Linda asks if she can fly to Memphis on the LM and Pris tells her "no...it wouldn't look right.":blink::blush:

Please do, I would love to see it as well.:blink::blush::blink:

[dstrattenfan]

I have Lisa Marie's Bio from A&E, and Linda tells the story about giving Lisa makeup and Pris calling her and saying "Don't give Lisa real girl makeup because it gets on the sheets." I do have to say agree about that...I don't want my daughter to wear makeup until is is past 10 lol.:lmfao:.And i don't remember what book I read it in but Linda said when she would set with Pris at shows they didn't talk because she and Pris didn't get along

[memphis69]

I Think Itwould Be Interesting If Linda And Priscilla Appeared Together On A Show Like Larry King Live. They Could Both Share Their Memories Of Elvis Instead Of Priscilla Always Taking The Spotlight. Not All Elvis Fans Are Interested In Watching "the Priscilla Show".

Your source for this please. Sorry but I find that one hard to believe!!

[WHITETIGERMAN]

I've never heard this one either and I agree with memphis69....there should be more than just Priscilla being in the spotlight when it comes to Elvis.Nothing against her....but there were some that were around him longer the she was.....it would be nice to see at least four of them together talking about him and see if anyone has a different take to a same story.

I met her and I asked her about Priscilla

and she told me about that

I was surprised she would say that

[WHITETIGERMAN]

Like I said.............that is a new one for me.

[dstrattenfan]

why would Linda say that? She doesn't really talk about Pris much...She has always said she didn't know much about her(Pris) but what she heard wasn't good, I think I read that in Careless love or it might have been on a documentary I have

[quote=Unique Dog;2766 According to some, Priscilla told her that the Lisa Marie was for family only.

If she believed LM was for family only , then why has she asked elvis to let her and her boy friend ( her hairdresser) to travel with a family plane ?! Did she consider him a family member ?!:supriced:
