I don't think that, elvis didn't like who priscilla grew in to, she wasn't that little girl anymore.If he didn't love her, well he shouldn't of been so hurt in the last years and fans wouldn't be so mad and upset at her.

You want to disagree; that's fine with me pal.

You'll notice this thread is based on people's opinions; therefore the "sources" you want cannot be quantified in books (although there are a few books that say Cilla was a golddigger; perhaps you've read them?). Obviously, only the woman herself knows.

So, on any threads where we're talking about factual information, the sources are widely available.

But for these types of threads, most of us can remain polite and pleasant until someone else launches an oblique personal attack.

There is no comparison between Priscilla and Ann Margaret. Priscilla never even got close to Ann Margaret's level in all aspects. Priscilla successfully tricked Elvis to marry her using her false charms.

(You'll notice, toncancun, that I have asked presley31 to expand on her thoughts without implying she's wrong. It's just that she has a different opinion to mine, and I am interested to hear why she is of another mindset ...)

P31?

You disagreed with ricardo's statement:

"There is no comparison between Priscilla and Ann Margaret. Priscilla never even got close to Ann Margaret's level in all aspects. Priscilla successfully tricked Elvis to marry her using her false charms."

So I'm asking why you disagree with that and (by implication) why you disagree with my take on the marriage, ie that Cilla was a golddigger from day one ...

Not in this thread, anyway.

Why are you being so defensive?

I'm asking (politely as it happens, or maybe you missed it) why you disgaree with one opinion of the marriage.

But if you don't want to answer or discuss it to keep the thread going ... fine.

Fine, was that so hard?

I mean, all I did was ask someone why they disgaree with a certain pattern of thought, then I get my head chewed off!

Thanks for expanding (

) on the thought process ...

Clearly, some like Cilla, and some don't. That's perfectly reasonable!

I don't know about tricking ELvis with false charms-I'm sure Elvis by the time he met Priscilla had seen every angle in the book by females.
But Priscilla was not being directed in a movie as Ann and Elvis were in VLV.
Its easy for a good director to make any sparks (which he see in the rushes) look even more bright by proper cuts and direction. There was a good chemistry between Ann and Elvis theres no question on that.
But I don't know if its fair to compare the sparks seen in a big hollywood movie with real life. IMO For all the sparks of Ann and Elvis-they just remained good friends and the relationship really went no further. So the sparks were there but thats about all there was.

It seems to Elvis had to be drawn to Priscilla to continue the relationship after Germany. He had a lot of girlfriends in his day and only Priscilla was moved in permanent-until the divorce.

I agree KPM, you make alot of good points there

You only need to look at the pictures of them together to see the sparks. The director of the movie, in fact, had a huge crush on AM, and resented Elvis a bit because of EP and AM getting together. The spark was not manufactured by a movie director; but the movie only served to heighten something that was already there.

EP and AM had a relationship for a long time after the movie. They did take it further than what went on during the filming of Viva Las Vegas.

I don't think I need to list a source for that ... do I?

**Diane** · 12-03-2007, 08:34 AM

Yes you do Getlo...where's your source?

Diane

**cameron** · 12-03-2007, 08:41 AM

Since it's a dictate ; yes, I think everyone should provide their source.

**Getlo** · 12-03-2007, 08:53 AM

My Story, by Ann-Margret.

And just about any other decent book on Elvis you could mention.

So, I've played my part re sources ... will you?

**Diane** · 12-03-2007, 08:55 AM

Thank you Getlo.

IMO Elvis did love Priscilla, but it was one of a companion, Priscilla resented being the mother figure that Elvis wanted and moved on. It is also my opinion that she was indeed infatuated with Elvis in the beginning and that she couldn't live the lifestyle that Elvis lived, she then systematically and calculatedly went on to manipulate Elvis into marriage and having a child knowing how this would make Elvis the doting father and then stayed around long enough to get the cash out the bank!

I don't resent Priscilla, In fact she did what millions of other women wanted to do! I also think that Priscilla gets a terrible press, I think she has paid her dews having had to live in the shadow of an enormous talent. Priscilla has caved in to greed and become a symbiont that feeds its self to nourish her self worth.

To get back on topic I think that Anne Margaret understood what the pressures of fame were and that Elvis was betrothed to another, I also think that they both understood that a flame that burns bright, doesn't burn for long

**presley31** · 12-03-2007, 09:06 AM

Quote from Ann's book

His wish was that we could stay together. But of course we both knew that was impossible, and that's what was so very difficult about our relationship. Elvis and I knew he had commitments, promises to keep, and he vowed to keep his word.
Both of us knew that now matter how much we loved each other, no matter how strong our bond, we weren't going to last. We tried not to think about it.
Sometimes that was impossible. We talked about marriage. We were so alike, so compatible. Elvis didn't like strong, aggressive women and I posed no threat there. He, on the other hand, was strong, gentle, exciting, and protective. Just the qualities I liked. In terms of our careers there was no conflict, only respect
