Photo: Elvis ... Intimate And Rare
Location: Set of "Live a Little, Love a Little"
Note:

This photo was taken in 1968 while making "Live A Little, Love A Little" for MGM. The director asked Elvis if it was okay to use his father Vernon for a scene in the movie. Of course Elvis loved it. He knew his dad would get a kick out of being in the movie. Elvis portrayed a photographer in the movie and Vernon was one of his models.



Greg Nolan (Elvis) is a photographer who's got a great job shooting for an LA newspaper. All he wants is to do his work and be left alone to sing and sit on the beach. Bernice (Michele Carey) and her Great Dane Albert have something else in mind.



Live A Little, Love A Little opens nationwide on October 23, 1968. Songs in this movie: Wonderful World, Edge Of Reality, A Little Less Conversation, Almost In Love.

Elvis father could easily have been an actor! He sure had the looks! Don't know if he could act though, but he sure was a good looking older man! In younger pictures Vernon reminds me a bit of Paul Newman.

Is that definetly Elvis's dad? It Dont look like him...

In her book "Elvis and Me", Priscilla said Elvis toyed with the idea of re-making the movie "The Way of All Flesh" and casting Vernon in the lead role. Unfortunately, that movie didn't happen :sad:

This picture is available thru several Elvis websites.

I'm pretty sure it's Vernon, but I must admit, after first seeing this pic a while ago, I had my doubts too...
