I have not seen this movie completely, just some clips and what I have heard from other fans , but I think it's a onesided story of a woman who wants to justify herself ! It's not fair and wholesome , she shows Priscilla too innocent !:blink:

[Elton]

No!!
Not even a little bit!

We'll never know what is the truth ;)

It's normal Priscilla wanted to tell "her story"...a shame she did it after Elvis death and when her daughter was too young to understand that movie (n)

[riley]

i loved the actress . But i think the script was not very much the truth. Walters was such a pretty young girl at moments I can even say she was equally beautiful to Cilla and that is difficult to find.

Very good actress.

Elvis actor didn't come close to the real one at all. But that i never expected either.

He was unique and no actor will ever do him justice.

I think the same thing.
The actress seem's to me so like priscilla!
About the actor I see him in another tv movie about Dallas,He is Joke Ewing,here is wonderfu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGZiOJcryiA!
And you can see that is gorgeous!
But here,as you say,no actor will ever do him justice!Because Elvis was soooooooooooooooooooooooo unique in everything's:blush:!

[Dany]

I don't like nothing that movie. Show just Priscilla storie, soo innocent and Elvis like I don't never meet.

[rickb]

I didn't like the movie or the book. Don't like Priscilla much either

[Rhinestone]

I hated the way Elvis was portrayed.

[Dany]

No, I don't like nothing that movie. Priscilla tolk about what she think and wanted speak.

[Elviskid80]

I Personally Loved The Movie And I Think Dale Midcaff Looks Almost Exactly Like Elvis. He Was To Me The Best Elvis Ive See In Any Movie. He Had Elvis Down Perfectly
Especially The Scenes When Hes On Stage. I Was Tottally Surprised At How Good He Was. Far Better Then Kurt Russell Or Don Johnson And Certianly Better Then jonathan rhys meyers. I hated him as Elvis . Dale 4 Stars All The Way . Just My Opinion I Didnt Care For The Story It Self Though

[Teddy]

It's not fair and wholesome , she shows Priscilla too innocent !:blink:

Priscilla is completely innocent! :mad:

[Teddy]

I didn't like the movie or the book. Don't like Priscilla much either

Then brace yourself for a thorough scolding :angry:

[dannyboy1]

I haven't seen it in a long time. But what struck me back then was how much it contradicted her book. It was as if she was telling the story however it suited her at the time. Priscilla seems to be an opportunist and much less than honest. I'm with rickb on this one (a fellow Aussie).

[Sweet_One_E.]

of course it was not fair and balanced. at that time and age, I think she may have had guilt she was trying to deal with or she would have shown more about her faulty actions, not just his.

[Tommy]

I wish a new movie would emerge.

[Teddy]

But what struck me back then was how much it contradicted her book. It was as if she was telling the story however it suited her at the time.

That's because it wasn't really her telling the story for the movie.
It arguably wasn't her telling the story in the book, either.

Trying to blow the whistle on minor discrepancies between the book and film as an indication of Priscilla's dishonesty is pretty futile, since it was adapted for the screen by other individuals whose considerations were entertainment value, rather than reflecting the facts as accurately as possible.

[LISY]

Haven't seen the movie, have no real desire to either, read the book, thought it was self serving and immature, but I guess she had to write something, would rather her write a book today now that she's mature....

[Donut]

Isn't it strange that after 7 years living with him you never hear her tell nice anecdotes? She says there were good and bad times with him but you never get to know the good things in detail, only the bad ones. On the other hand, Charlie Hodge wrote a book only filled with positive stuff about Elvis, which shows that even if you don't personally write the book you can control the result.
This movie is based on her book and I can't see any difference between the book and the film so... :smoke:... you know who to blame.

Priscilla was the executive producer of the movie. She had total control of the content.

Mudslinging (via a book or movie) directed at your daughter's deceased father isn't a nice trait.

I really don't think Elvis would have ever done that to her out of respect for her and Lisa.

Executive Producer is a vanity title. This suggests she had little or no control over the final result, since such titles are often awarded as an honorary gesture for providing an initial idea (in this case, a biography of Priscilla), often to appease the individual into relinquishing "total control". Authors are often given this title when a book they wrote is adapted for the screen. It is no guarantee that the film will resemble the book with fastidious accuracy.
It is unlikely that she was involved in the day-to-day production of this movie from the moment she agreed to let the real producers make it.

priscilla can stopped this,if she would stop!
And she don't do that!
Because she had the control of this!
And her tell the story!Because also if it's another person write his story,this person write to base on what she tell!
So it's obvious that she have the totally control on this!

[Sweet_One_E.]

no need to write the book or do the movie, my opinion. if she didn't like what others were saying she could take them to court. oh wait, she did and won.
back to, there was no reason except publicity like the magazine interviews.
she craved attention and notariety, as having been his wife. not saying right or wrong but still that was the reason only

[Teddy]

there was no reason except publicity like the magazine interviews.
she craved attention and notariety, as having been his wife.

To address these allegations individually:

The reason she offered for doing Elvis & Me was to provide a more accurate reflection of her relationship with Elvis than Goldman's Elvis had previously made public.

Any desire for attention she had was motivated by a need to be recognized as an individual, after years as a 'world-famous appendage'.

There is absolutely nothing which Priscilla has done which hints at a craving for notoriety. She's a virtual recluse outside of her professional endeavors and keeps her publicity as limited to her business affairs as she possibly can.

I know too that she tell that doing this for respond about the orrible book of goldman,but her book and movie it's orrible too!Because the person of Elvis in here as the goldman book appear wrong and orrible!
And Elvis is not this person!At all!Of course like everyonelse he have his mistakes,difects and his down moments,but certainly not for 24 ours on 24 like you see in the movie!
And certainly priscilla have too this things!But of course she not tell this in this movie on in his book!Only on Elvis!Why?
Because if she would tell the all true,she had tell also his mistakes,his down moments and his difects like Elvis!Not only of Elvis!
It's not fair!Because unfortunately Elvis is not here:'(!
And this is love?No!But only wickedness!

I continued to use my ex-husband's name Giorgia after we divorced. I don't think most women bother to change it legally to their maiden name again.......

Quite right Deb, and we could argue that the public were always going to see her as Priscilla Presley anyway so she might as well have its benefit in her CV! Many thousands of divorcees have done far more questionable things, after all!
But because it's Elvis, she's treated like she's stolen the Crown jewels, for goodness' sake!

lets be honest how do we know elvis didn't do some of the things that has been written about him? I believe some of it gets alittle made up but not all of it is a lie.

Does it really matter if he did them or not? He's dead and can't defend himself. Lisa has lived with tabloid fodder regarding her dad her entire life. The book and movie just piled it on even more. Coming from her own mother makes it much worse.

It's not my place to go on about elvis flaws..we all have them. I feel for lisa and wonder what went though her mind after reading the book and she had to have seen the movie too. Elvis isn't here and your right he can't defend himself but l betcha he wouldn't be happy all that has been written and the movies that have been done but he got fans that stand up for him and that is what he deserves. Priscilla should of kept things to herself that i can agree on.

[eulangels]

Anyone who watchs this movie and believes any of it has no idea who Elvis IS.... And if you really want to know the TRUTH at who Priscilla is read Child Bride , it tells the real truth of this women.... Let me say this, on the day they buried Elvis, Priscilla was heard telling her sister Michelle, upstairs at Graceland...She was wearing sunglasses at the time and she said, " Everybody thinks that I'm crying behind these sunglasses.. They don't know that I'm really laughing.." Read the book, learn the truth , THE REAL TRUTH......

[Junebug]

I continued to use my ex-husband's name Giorgia after we divorced. I don't think most women bother to change it legally to their maiden name again.......

My problem, is her dropping it after she left him, and then taking it up again after he died......However, she has ever right to do so.....

What are you talking about here?

What do you believe happened?

Didn't care for Dale Midkiff as Elvis!

[Merry]

Didn't care for Dale Midkiff as Elvis!



Me either, Shelley. there are too many dimensions, too much depth in Elvis, for any actor to try and pull off. Elvis was so unique and special, someone trying to act in a roll, to attempt to convince the audience he is Elvis, just can't be done.

[Junebug]

lets be honest how do we know elvis didn't do some of the things that has been written about him? I believe some of it gets alittle made up but not all of it is a lie. Elvis was a great man no doubt about it but elvis was like any normal person and made mistakes and so did priscilla and the sad thing that pris hasn't learned from hers.

Do you think Elvis learned from his 'mistakes'?


Who's to say what Priscilla Presley has learned or not?

She is the only one who can decide what may or may not have been missteps in her life and ultimately, the one who knows, regardless of others' judgements, what her own personal growth has been.

It's not any different than with you or me.

When she left him she started up 'Biz and Beau' clothes shop with her friend.
There by dropping 'Presley' and using 'Beaulieu'

[Donut]

Did she do anything since the shop closed untill Elvis died? Anyone knows?

[debtdbruno]

Don't know Donut...Dallas was after he died wasn't it? In the 80's

When did she do the Animal show?

[ForeverTheKing]

If I'm not wrong it was in 1980 (y)

Presley 31 I'm totally agree with you!
I write before the same thing that you write on this message!
But I write also that it's unfair that she tells only the bad moments,errors and difects of Our Love Elvis!Because as you said also her have this!Like everyone else!
So own for this,for the fact that Elvis was a great man,who see this movie and don't know this like ours,thinking bad things!And this is unfair!Because Elvis wasn't like this 24 hours on 24!

I think the same thing!

[GIORGIA]

My problem, is her dropping it after she left him, and then taking it up again after he died......
Sorry,but yesterday I don't understand this part,now yes:P,and I agree with your thought!

But only after?

In the time was younger and she don't have the last word of all that she was doing about his father!
But I read in an interview that in first she didn't liked the book,but if you listen an interview of priscilla(1985) she say that lisa read the book and she is fine.............................I don't know if was like that.............................................

We'll never knowthe truth and nobody can have the certainty about Priscilla.

I agree, Child Bride is slanderous.
However, Elvis and Me is a bit too much the opposite way..........

[May]

I agree deb. The true story is probably something in the middle of the two. :hmm:

The thing I always think is, if you were smart, and were going to write a book about your life, you wouldnt write all the positive bits and none of the negative bits would you. Because lets face it, no one is that good (or bad). :D

Therefore the book would have been more believable if there had been some negative points in. (y)

I enjoyed both books; but as always I read everything and then form an opinion (as we all do) I dont believe everything I read. Child Bride did bring up a few interesting points whatever anyone thinks about it. and let's face it Teddy would try and prove Prissy innocent even if she did steal the crown jewels!!!!:hmm:

goody green gobbers a Priscilla thread at TCB-World

Who woulda thunk it.

And Suzanne Finstad book is being used as a source that's even more unbelieveable.

For the record I would believe nothing Suzanne Finstad says she's nothing but an Albert Goldman wannabe the only difference is Goldman actually wrote books about celebrities who actually had large fanbases and a lot of the info is his book was actually correct though presented in a negative way.

I don't believe the story you've quoted about Priscilla.

[Teddy]

I don't believe the story you've quoted about Priscilla.

And you shouldn't- it's little more than a Cilla-hater's fantasy.
It's just indulging spiteful people who want the convenience of casting Priscilla as the personification of Evil in Presley lore.

I continued to use my ex-husband's name Giorgia after we divorced. I don't think most women bother to change it legally to their maiden name again.......

My problem, is her dropping it after she left him, and then taking it up again after he died......However, she has ever right to do so.....



What are you talking about here?

What do you believe happened?

:king:


When she left him she started up 'Biz and Beau' clothes shop with her friend.
There by dropping 'Presley' and using 'Beaulieu'


Oh.....okay......

While I am aware of the partnership in the Bis & Beau boutique, I can't say I agree with your statements.

Just because someone uses a family name - actually, in this case, only a part/syllable of it - in a new business endeavor is no indication the person has 'dropped' their last name in favor of the former.

A boutique was simply given a name.


Thanks for providing the basis to your opinion.


:king:

[Sweet_One_E.]

personally aside from having the same last name as her child which I get, to me it went against a lot of what she said. she said she wanted to be independant, she said she wanted to be a person on her own and have her own identity. she complained once that more people knew her as Mike Stone's girlfriend than Elvis's wife, so why divorce and make sure people knew you were his wife by using his name. she used it to her advantage. which I don't see as a problem, most people would. it just doesn't make sense in light of some things she said.

[Brian]

That was complete B.S. for her to say more people knew her as Stone's girlfriend than Elvis' wife.
That was untrue and ridiculous
You can add that to the list of stupid things Priscilla has said through the years.
Priscilla actually says a lot of things and changes her stories almost on a weekly basis

[Estela]

I loved the actress. Susan was perfect! But I think the script wasn't very much the truth.

That's right!
Some people are so jealous of her access to 'the name' that they become especially insulted to learn that there was ever a moment when she considered using her own!

Again, she's da*med when she does and she's d*mned when she doesn't.

It's interesting to note that in Ch*ld Br*de, Finst*d mentions this innocuous fact casually, in contrast to the book's otherwise inflammatory style, arrogantly knowing that it's like brain dynamite in the hands of her seething target audience; Preaching to the long-converted, she gets a perverse kick out of pressing the buttons.

It's so easy to understand why she started using Elvis' name again that I'm sure you can't be serious, otherwise a excess of male hormones must clouding your judgment!

Alright, Giorgia.

Contrary to the misguided vigil which some individuals feel the need to keep over his name, Elvis Presley was one of the most celebrated human beings who ever lived.

We're now at the point where 'Elvis Tribute Artists' are derided for being overweight, 'because it casts him in a negative light', for goodness sake.
Defending Elvis is an insult to his spectacular achievements. He definitely doesn't need my help, and I'm baffled when he is portrayed as helpless by people who appear to have some deep-seated need to be seen to guard his honor. It's as futile as supporting Manchester United.

My appreciation of Elvis is implicit in my presence here.
Consequently, I choose to defend his disproportionately lambasted ex-wife, who has sustained the most ridiculously unfair judgement by so-called Elvis-'fans' for almost half a century now.

Defending Elvis is an insult to his spectacular achievements.

Defending him against baseless attacks, ridicule (yes, that includes grossly overweight ETAs), the Elvis-is-alive BS, poor promotion by BMG, the SOB's who run EPE and a host of other negatives is absolutely necessary.

[Teddy]

Why? :hmm:
Do you feel that he needs your help?

[Getlo]

Why? :hmm:

If you have to ask that question, then there's really little hope. ;)

Getlo, I think I am a little bit in love with you now! :blush:

Further to my ongoing theme of defending the indefensible, I really can't condone your poisonous sarcasm towards Getlo here, May.
After all, he was only sticking up for our hero.
Shame on you.

Yes!
Your are Absolutely right!
It's normal difended Elvis about this!
Like everyone else!Because it's unfair when some people tells orrible and false things about a person!
And WE DO THIS because WE LOVE OUR LOVE ELVIS WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!
And I'M AN ELVIS FAN!SO IT'S ABSOLUTELY NORMAL DO THIS FOR ME!

Alright, Giorgia.

Contrary to the misguided vigil which some individuals feel the need to keep over his name, Elvis Presley was one of the most celebrated human beings who ever lived. Nevertheless, there is a faction of followers who are under the impression that he requires their ardent protection. We're now at the point where 'Elvis Tribute Artists' are derided for being overweight, 'because it casts him in a negative light', for goodness sake.

You're quite right Teddy............Elvis doesn't need protecting per-se. He's not here anymore:'(:'(:'(:'(

Priscilla hasn't done anything, that hasn't been done by millions of women globally.

Again, you are right, she's ****ed whichever way she plays it.
I'm not a Cilla fan at all, however, Elvis wasn't perfect, some fans tend to forget that

Luckily, there are so many accounts from different people that were part of Elvis' life that you can more or less have an idea of what the characters of this story are about.

molto bene(y) u made some very good points..how do we know 4 sure cilla didint say those things:doh:...cant trust anyone anymore..i remember when she brought the participants of american idol a while back.. to visit elvis grave she was there ..she was stone cold no emotion what so ever:blink:.http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/th_ciao-1.gifhttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/selenauno/smiley-gen101.gifhttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/th_elvis-071.gif


si e vero -yes its true..theres even footage of that event with cilla and the american idol peeps at meditation garden--somebody once posted that footage here in the forum..cant remember who it was..neways cilla was motionless no tears nothing she just stood therehttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/th_ciao-1.gifhttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/selenauno/smiley-gen101.gifhttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/th_elvis-071.gif


there are pictures also..ur very welcome (y).. to be fair to her..well lets also point out that just because someone dosent cry dosent mean she dosent care..people have different ways of showing sadness i guess..mabye she didint want to show any emotion in front of the american idol people..who knows.....but i tottaly dont believe verything cilla says about elvis..i would say the elvis fans are split 50--50 some like her some hate herhttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/th_ciao-1.gifhttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/selenauno/smiley-gen101.gifhttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/th_elvis-071.gif


"To be fair to her" -please find and post in this thread the footage you are referencing:

"....when she brought the participants of american idol a while back.. to visit elvis grave...."

and

"......that event with cilla and the american idol peeps at meditation garden....."


It shouldn't be too hard to find if someone posted footage of these specific actions here, as you stated.

If that fails, you can certainly tap those who keep and covet these alleged misdeeds in their balliwick.

Isn't it surprising that this 'footage' is not whipped out at the drop of a hat like the Finst$$d book is to support the TRUTH?

Given the rabid propensity and interest for this, I can't imagine why the 'footage' isn't plastered all over the TCB-World and other forums.

What could be holding people back on this???

Why aren't there a gazillion threads on this site dissecting every frame of this 'footage' and the 'alleged' behavior???

You'd think a certain group of people would want to get it out there as quickly and often as possible.


Yes.......stoned..........and cold........

I think it's utterly ridiculous that anybody thinks she should have been weeping uncontrollably or that her lack of conspicuous tears reflects an emotional void of some kind.

Especially when you consider that absolutely nobody behaves naturally with an audience and cameras etc anyway.
If anything, her decision to remain composed instead of affecting some sentimental whimpering reveals tact.
If she'd cried you'd all be complaining that she was putting it on! :rolleyes:

I don't think that's the point everbody's talking about.

Elvis Presley is a dead man in that clip to some fans she came across as emotionless like Elvis is an attraction and she's showing him off.
Elvis is an attraction but he's dead and you are suppose to show some respect for dead people no matter who they are.
It's not a matter of her crying if anybody expects Priscilla to weep hysterically over a man she was married to over 30 years ago and divorced then they are mistaken.

[Donut]

Exactly. He showed more emotion showing their dog lashes in EBTP than here showing Elvis' grave. It's not a matter of crying but it seemed like he was promoting another Elvis new exhibition at Graceland.

I said at the time that a tacky circus like American Idol should never have even visited Graceland!
But we're not talking about some pious respect for the dead argument here- people are criticizing Priscilla's conduct on the occasion- and since visitors to Graceland usually expect to see the Meditation Garden, I'd like you to explain to me what was so incredibly disrespectful about her behavior when the occasion arose.

If this really is all about "showing him off" as you say, then we're discussing a much broader topic and I suggest you set up a picket line outside Graceland immediately!

When you visit anyone's grave you are suppose to show some respect
As I said Priscilla came off to some fans as being cold and emotionless like Elvis was an attraction.
As I said it's very true that Elvis is an attraction but show some respect for the deceased especially when standing over their grave.
Now some fans probably didn't feel that way or really pay much attention to it but for some fans it did came across that way.

On a sidenote Yes, I hate some of the tacky ways Elvis image is presented and that will never change.
I don't blame Priscilla for that because as I've said before she had little to do with the marketing or success of Graceland that came down to the other executors and is now Robert Sillerman's responsibility.
But that's a different dicussion for another time.

[Teddy]

Then I suggest that the problem is in the trouble-seeking minds of her critics.

What exactly would have been the acceptable demonstration of emotion? Maybe a quivering lip or a single flicked tear? :rolleyes:

The anti-Priscilla campaign has reached a new and desperate low here.

And I think we'd all feel a little emotionally constipated at our own loved-ones' graves if we were accompanied by a film crew and a dozen clowns at the time. The whole thing is way too bizarre to expect an honest emotional reaction beyond the most perfunctory conduct. Under the circumstances, I think she handled it in the most dignified way that any reasonable person could expect.

Teddy give it up

I'm a skilled debater you'll never beat me

I already answered you're questions

She wouldn't have to cry or show emotion in that way that's not what people are talking about.

It's kinda like Colonel Parker going to Elvis' funeral dressed in a Hawaiian T-Shirt and baseball cap it wasn't appropriate it came across as cold.

and don't bother saying Priscilla didn't do what Parker did that's not my point it's just that she to came across as a little cold to a lot of people albeit in a different way.

[Teddy]

Teddy give it up

I'm a skilled debater you'll never beat me



You really must be joking.

Failing to acknowledge that you've lost does not constitute winning a debate.

I'm missing this 'skill' completely. You haven't actually said anything.

You're still not telling me exactly what she needed to do which would have satisfied the bleeding hearts who considered her "cold and emotionles" that day.
She didn't need to cry- you've at least offered that.
So what did she need to do? What would have been enough? :rolleyes:

Yes, I have

You just don't like the answer

It's no joke about me being right and you wrong about this
I don't have a sense of humor

For starters Priscilla treated Elvis like an attraction when she showed the American Idol cadets the grave it comes across as cold.
She shouldn't have done that there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.
She did it the wrong way.

I've mentioned this before but I don't get your Priscilla obsession
As I've said Priscilla was quite attractive back in the 60's, 70's and up until the last few years even but not now and you don't know her personally.
But you're obsessed over 64 year old Priscilla with you being almost 30 years younger than her.
It blows my mind.
Lisa Marie Presley I could understand

[Teddy]

I don't have a sense of humor


For once, you are absolutely right.

[Teddy]

She shouldn't have done that there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.
She did it the wrong way.


Now you would be able to make a salient point here- if you were able to describe for us the "right way" to do it.

But since you won't, you're not saying anything- except that Priscilla is guilty without a fair trial, as usual.

This doesn't really have anything to do with what we're discussing.
However, if you want to judge me for finding an older woman attractive as casually as you judged her for not being sufficiently emotional at her ex-husband's grave while on television, then at least you're making my job of exposing your lack of credibility a lot more straightforward, Mr "Skilled Debater".

Pay attention

I've been saying to Teddy for the last few posts that it doesn't matter if Priscilla cried or not and that she shouldn't.
Showing respect for the deceased has nothing to do with crying as i've said in my posts.

It's that she showed Elvis a dead man off as an attraction which is a cold thing to do.

I do agree respect should be shown at the graveside. however, I would not expect her to show emotion, cry, etc.....it's been too long. Also she is his ex wife, and therefore her feeling are bound to be different than a widow.......

[Teddy]

I don't like the idea of doing it on t.v.

Me neither.
Your original points about Priscilla's conduct, however, are facile.

I agree that the decision to have the American Idol special at Graceland was reprehensible in the first place, so if Priscilla did have any part in the decision, it's regrettable.

I think Elvis was God's greatest gift to popular music.
I don't think slandering his ex-wife, especially at his assumed behest, is a foregone requirement of being his fan.
In actual fact, I think it reflects a spectacular misunderstanding of the man at his best.

Like most have said on here, we all show our emotions differently and it's true as Teddy mentioned, had Priscilla showed it, then she would have been criticized for it...Elvis has been gone a long time and even though that doesn't take away the sad feelings we have that he is no longer here, it also didn't just happen yesterday. No disrespect meant towards Elvis, when I say that. :king:

That was just inane and demeaning.
A bit like the bizarre stuff about being a "skilled debater".

I agree, Teddy.

I was referring to the version that Bob Barker use to host

I said some people that saw it found Priscilla to be cold while others probably weren't offended by it that depends on the individual
I have said repeatedly in this thread that I did not expect Priscilla to be overly emotional about it or should she be it's how she came across.

I'd say the same thing about anyone.

What the hell are you talking about

Presley31 was saying I said things that I didn't say

I told her if she would like to comment on something that i've said she should pay attention to what i've said.
That's all I meant


That's not bizarre about me being a skilled debater I was captain of my High school and college debate teams and we were undefeated.

Dearest Franny,

Well said.

We all react differently, and I don't think that anyone can predict how they themselves will react either, when it comes to a tragedy.

Showing the grave of her ex-husband in a tv program like American Idol :rolleyes: (and yes, presenting him like another Graceland artifact) just to promote the tours of the house is one of the more tasteless things Priscilla and EPE have done, and they have done many...

[Teddy]

I don't think for a second that she was behind the decision to feature Graceland on American Idol by way of an advertisement.
Somebody obviously was, but I doubt very much that it was her.
It's far more likely to be somebody who was looking for a return from their investment, and the family's cooperation was a condition in whatever deal was made.

Pricilla was heavily involved in this film . She always talks about how much she loved him but by watching this movie i dont see how she could have , i cant remember one scene where Elvis treated her with nothing but contempt and badly . If he was this bad to her how could she loved him , he comes across as a horrible man . If he was this bad all it made me think is she was ther for the luxurious life and money

She was involved in the title and that's about it.

Protecting her memories led directly to battles with director Larry Peerce. Son of the late tenor Jan Peerce, Larry says Priscilla gave him plenty of input -- ''I heard her **** loud and clear. She said to me, 'There were good times and bad, like any relationship. What was bad we know already.' As far as she was concerned the good far outweighed the bad. But if I honored that, I'd be doing her and Elvis' fans a disservice. I promised her that I wouldn't make a fool of her, but I went for the reality. Priscilla did not have the last word.''

Ironically the biggest clash between Presley and Peerce occurred not over Elvis' violence or womanizing, but over his waving. In the scene where Elvis (Dale Midkiff, who played Jock Ewing in 1986's Dallas: The Early Years) and Priscilla (Susan Walters, a Loving and Hotel veteran) part at the Frankfurt airport, she gets lost in the crowd. Priscilla remembers that day: ''I was looking and looking for him. Then he turned and waved at me.'' Peerce argued that with thousands of fans there, Elvis had to be waving at them. ''Priscilla's perception is lovely and romantic,'' he says. ''But, again, I had to work at the reality of it.'' Peerce won, but Priscilla isn't conceding the point. His interpretation, she says, was from a man's point of view. ''It was the last goodbye,'' she explains. ''As a young girl of 14, I was sure he was going to miss me.''

There was at least one area of Elvis' life where Presley and Peerce were in agreement. Elvis' drug use, including a scene in which he gives Priscilla downers that leave her unconscious for two days, is presented without gloss. ''I want people to know there were reasons Elvis did what he did,'' says Priscilla. ''It was a different time then -- they gave out tranquilizers and diet pills like crazy. Today they tell you what the effects are, why people die from drug abuse. Elvis had a lot on his mind, and if something didn't go right, a sleeping pill was the only thing he had that would let him relax. It didn't seem bad to him; he didn't realize what it would lead to. I'm not defending drugs; I'm only saying that at the time that's all this man had to relieve his stres s.''

Robert Lovenheim, (Elvis and Me producer) : "There are two sides to the story and I don't know which is right and which is wrong. I mean, we went with the book. How close is it to reality, I don't know".

Will This Actor Capture the Dark Side of Elvis too?
TV Guide, January 30, 1988
By Susan Littwin

With his love for Presley, Dale Midkiff may find it difficult to betray all the fond memories

"Elvis and Me" has the usual production problems. Today there's rain and a location house too small for the crew. The director has a cold, and leading actress Susan Walters is nervous about playing the emotional scene where 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu discovers that her father isn't her real father.

But these are the usual problems. Curled in a stray chair just beyond camera range is a good-looking man with curly brown hair and straightforward blue eyes. He introduces himself as Jerry Schilling. The name is familiar. "Well, I'm one of the characters in the movie," he explains matter-of-factly. Jerry Schilling, who serves as a creative consultant on the film, was one of Elvis Presley's boyhood friends and later became a member of his entourage. One night he and Priscilla angered Elvis by chatting in the kitchen at Graceland. The scene is in the movie. "Priscilla and I were self-conscious around each other for two years after that," Schilling admits, musing over the memory.

It's the memories that give "Elvis and Me" unusual problems. The script is based on Priscilla Presley's best-selling book of the same name. It is the story of her life with Elvis, and, understandably, it tries to preserve her memories of their relationship. That's what memoirs do. And Priscilla, as the author of the book and the owner of the memories, is an executive producer of the ABC TV-movie. But producer Robert Lovenheim and director Larry Peerce want to tell a believable, objective story. "The book tries to uphold the myths. Our script has insight into Priscilla, into the subtext of her story," says Lovenheim. "We want to do right by her. We don't want to destroy her memories, but we're not making This Is Your Life."

Most often, the relationship with Priscilla's memories is helpful. A whiskey bottle is removed from the set because Priscilla tells them Elvis never served whiskey. She tells them exactly how many members of the entourage ought to be sitting around. And actress Susan Walters stops biting her nails when she finds out that Priscilla never bit hers.

But then there are the touchy issues, like The Wink. When Elvis was leaving Germany, his two-year Army stint over, Priscilla accompanied him to the airport, where hundreds of screaming fans waited for him. The King of Rock and Roll mounted the boarding steps, waved to the crowd and then winked. As Priscilla saw it, The Wink was for her.

But Lovenheim and Pearce have their own views. They saw the newsreels of Elvis's goodbye, and they visited Elvis's house in Bad Nauheim. For a rock-and-roll star, that house must have seemed cramped, dingy. "He's finally through with the Army and being a jeep driver," says Lovenheim. "The mobs overwhelm him. He's getting a taste of 'the life' again, the world at his feet." As Lovenheim sees it, The Wink was for his fans. "I'm back," it said.

And Pearce, who is the son of the late tenor Jan Pearce, understands how stars feed on the adoration of their audience. “I cold always tell whether my father was calling from the road or from home. There was a lilt in his voice when he was on the road." When they shot the scene, says Peerce, he could see Dale Midkiff, the young actor who plays Elvis, responding to the squeals from the crowd of extras. "I could see the pleasure on his face in the car, just as I saw it on Elvis's face in the newsreels. He's waiting to go back. He's filled with fear and anticipation. That crowd at the airport must have tasted good."

But when Priscilla saw the shot, she was disturbed. This Elvis wasn't winking at her. "It was a very romantic moment for me," she explains. "I was waiting for that moment, and it didn't happen. They did it from a man's point of view! Elvis had other things on his mind. I guess that's cold, hard reality." A decade later, when her marriage to Elvis was almost over, she would tell him that he gets his thrills on stage, understanding Elvis's love life at last. But the wink at the airport remained an inviolate part of memory and myth. "It was the perception of a lovesick 14-year-old girl," says Lovenheim. Peerce explained their interpretation to her. "She understood," he says "but it has been quite an experience for her, reliving and reinterpreting her life. You could feel the charged emotions when she was on the set." At times, Lovenheim reports, she had tears in her eyes.

Luckily perhaps, it was not possible for Priscilla Presley to play herself. It would be too much of a reach for her, at 42 (and a member of CBS's Dallas cast), to play a 14-year-old. But casting the role was a problem. The producers needed an actress young enough to play 14 convincingly, but with enough range and seasoning to carry the role all the way up to the 32-year-old woman who has been through tragedy. They came up with Susan Walters, a 24-year-old former soap-opera actress who has a small role on Hotel. Walters bears a strong resemblance to the young Priscilla - the high cheek bones and heartstopping blue eyes. A marathon runner, she is charming and athletic as the teen-age Priscilla. She jumps rope, sprints across the street, does a wistful ballet dance. Can she do the heavier drama? "We'll see,” she says. "It will take vivid imagination and a lot of homework."

Casting Elvis was no easier. Again an unknown was needed, since a star couldn't dissolve into the role. The producers settled on Dale Midkiff, a lanky 28-year-old who played the young Jock Ewing in "Dallas: The Early Years." On a drizzly afternoon, he drives up to the location shoot in a red 1963 Buick Wildcat convertible, the top down and Bruce Springsteen blaring from the 1987 sound system. It is a car The King might have driven and an entrance almost theatrical enough. He parks and swaggers down the street in cowboy boots, a big, 1-know-I'm-sexy grin across his unshaven face. "I was with Priscilla and Jerry Schilling last night," he tells Walters, the excitement obvious in his voice. Not surprisingly, they talked about Elvis.

What does he think of Elvis? He explains while cruising the quiet neighborhood in the Wildcat. Elvis was basically "a good Christian boy." He wasn't really a drug addict. "Those were prescription drugs he was using. He thought he had it under control." And he didn't break his word to Priscilla's father by bringing her to live with him at Graceland. “It was his father, Vernon, who made the promise [that she would live apart from Elvis], not him."

Midkiff has fallen in love with his character. He plays young Elvis with an easy, boyish charm. But Elvis also had a dark side. He was, even in Priscilla's account, unnaturally attached to his mother, sexually kinky, addicted to drugs and to fame. He was volatile and, in later years, increasingly paranoid. With the help of makeup, lighting and a few extra pounds gained, Midkiff will be made to look like the bloated, dissipated singer of those years. The big question is: will he be able to capture the dark side of Elvis? Or will he be too worried about betraying all those memories?
